I know it sounds weird, but toothpaste makes an excellent scrubbing agent for tennis shoes. Just wet a rag, put a little toothpaste on it and use that to scrub tennis shoes. It makes them look brand new.
I use a vinegar/water solution for my all purpose cleaner. Vinegar does have anti-bacterial properties but adding some essential oil (like lemon or tea tree) makes it anti-bacterial and smell a whole lot better. A long time ago I found an article called 50 uses for vinegar, or something like that. It is truly amazing the many ways you can clean with a product...and you never have to fear for your children getting in to it!
Also, a pumice stone works really well on stains in the toilet. Pumice is all natural and really hard, harder than the buildup on your toilet. However, it is softer than the enamel your toilet is made out of so it won't scratch it! (As always, test it and use carefully...just common sense)
Great ideas, thanks. And D, I didn't know that toothpaste was a good cleaner for tennis shoes :o) Girl, I believe you have a little too much free time in your day to know something like that :P
