How Clean is Your House?

Addicted to "How Clean is Your House?" on UK tv. Some tips I picked up from there:-

1. Scrubbing porcelain (toilet bowls, sinks etc.) with ordinary table salt (inexpensive in copious quantities) with a light non-abrasive scour like the back of a dishwashing sponge or toothbrush helps to make white porcelain sparkly clean.
2. Dump two effervescent tablets (the kind you take to get rid of overnight alcohol or indigestion) into the water, let dissolve to bubble out the muck and flush.
3. Lemon juice (acid) + bicarbonate of soda (alkaline) mixed with a solution of water neutralizes the air and helps remove odors. Mix, pour into a watering spray and spray away into the air.
4. Hot water, vinegar and dishwashing liquid helps get rid of stubborn stains.

And another tip I picked up because I have a dog at home... You know that fabulous enzymatic odor eating liquid you buy from Watson's at $6 a bottle to remove any scents before you poo? They sell copious quantities of that in a spray version at pet shops for about $28 / 500ml or so which is exactly the same thing...
