White vinegar - Fill the bottom of a burned pan with
vinegar and bring it to a boil. You'll see the mess
flaking off. Or, pour it on the cracks in your sidewalks
to kill grass and weeds, or mix it with the number two
item on the list, baking soda, to free up clogged drains.
Baking Soda - Dip a damp cloth in baking soda to clean
stains from painted walls and woodwork. Or, sprinkle some
on aluminum foil and cover with boiling water to make
silver cleaner. 
Lemon juice - It is a natural bleach and disinfectant.
Spread some on a white laundry stain and put it in the
sun; the item will look like new in no time. Or use lemons
to clean brass. Cut a lemon in half, dip it in salt and
scrub no more tarnish. 
Dryer sheets - They clean off television screens, freshen
drawers and sneakers. Or, put a used dryer sheet in a
baked-on pan, cover it with boiling water and leave it
overnight. It will clean up easily in the morning. 
Denture tablets - They clean anything from narrow-necked
vases to toilet bowls.
