Windex, Vinegar & Peroxide

Lately, we have had to clean a tempurpedic mattress - so off I went googling to find the best course of action =) I found it interesting that there are some everyday household and/or kitchen items that could be used. And not only for a tempurpedic mattress. For instance:

Windex
Hardwood floors
Clean area rugs
Erase marks on dry erase boards
Cleans lipstick smears (not that I wear much lipstick, but maybe y'all do =))
Seems to help the itch of poison ivy
Ward off intruders - my fav lol (courtesy of http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/25091104/detail.html)

Vinegar
Removes mineral deposits from coffee makers
Makes newly cleaned ovens smell better
Discourages ants
Makes cleaning the grill easier
Clean up pet accidents
Helps get decals off walls & doors
And muuuucccchhh more! (thanks! go to this website for all the useful tips: http://www.vinegartips.com/scripts/pageViewSec.asp?id=7)

Peroxide
Clean yellowed or stained plastic
Clean cutting boards
Clean a tempurpedic mattress (altho, uhh - be careful! it will bleach spots if you concentrate it too heavily in one area!!)
Blood stains
And much more! (You can find more tips at: http://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com/uses-of-hydrogen-peroxide.html)

OK, am done spreading my wisdom about today lol Y'all have any to add? =)
