Instead of resorting to chemical cleaners, use a mix of bicarb soda and natural dish soap to create a paste to scrub tiles and glass with. Use this paste with a toothbrush to clean grout. Vinegar is great for removing mildew and build-up from the corners of your shower; just spray it on, let it dry, spray again and wipe clean. Beach Style Bathroom by Sheila Rich Interiors, LLC Sheila Rich Interiors, LLC SaveEmail Keep the toilet sparkling clean by mixing together half a cup of white vinegar and a tablespoon full of bicarb, and pour it into the bowl. Let it soak for half an hour and then give it a good scrub. This bleach-free cleaner detoxes your toilet and removes calcium build-up on the bowl.

To get rid of an older stain: Moisten a cotton cloth in olive oil, and touch the cloth to a bit of rottenstone (see next photo). Gently rub the stained area with the cloth until the ring appears to be gone. Never wax or polish over an alcohol or water ring, since this will permanently set the stain on the wood finish. Planter Hardware And Accessories by Brownells Brownells SaveEmail Rottenstone - $19.99 Rottenstone is a rock used as a polishing abrasive in woodworking, and is usually made with limestone mixed with other materials. This fine powder can be mixed with natural oils to polish wood to a fine finish.
