Time for spring cleaning! What can I use?

I'd like to start spring cleaning my house, including bathroom walls, all baseboards, and inside doors and windows. Can I use vinegar and water for these things? If so, what's the ratio I use? If not, what else can I use? I'm embarassed to say that I've always bought cleaning supplies - I'd like to be a little 'greener' now. Thanks!

Quarter cup of white vinegar to three quarter cups water. You can also add some lemon juice to that to cut the vinegary odor or rinse with 1/2-1/2 lemon juice/water afterwards. I like a cleaning product called "Simple Green"…it cleans well, but smells like a pine forest and it's supposed to have less than half the chemicals as a regular commercial cleaner. Never clean wood without using Murphys Oil Soap!

Have any house cleaning tips?

How do you make money fast for ages 14 and under?

I'm 13 years old and I am saving up for a new ipod, well ipod touch, and my parents said that they would only pay half of it and I need around 100 dollars fast, and I do baby-sit but I don't know when because they tell me to call them if I feel like baby-sitting which is pretty confusing. I try to clean the house but there's no more to clean, so any suggestions on what to do?

One thing is…….NEVER go on the websites with the survey answer for money!!!!! they are ALL scams!!! they just say MAKE MONEY FAST!!!! FOR OUR STARTER KIT ONLY 14.99!!!!!! trust me! I am 13 as well and i've been trying to make money for a digital camera for my own…..I tried that and it gave me sooooooo many e-mails! and spam msgs!!!!

u could ask some elderly neighbors if they need help!!!!!

oh…. or u could try a yard sale and ask ur parents that if u put out ur own stuff then if u could collect the money from that stuff!!!!!

well if u think about it,……it really depends on how much u already have rather than how much u need!!!!

just try somrthing i suggested it really is helping me!!!!!

I am paying a cleaning service to clean my house for the first time. How much of a tip should I give?

I never paid anyone to clean my house ever till now. I hired a cleaning service. The total fee is $350 and there are 3 people cleaning it. I figure I should give them a tip for a good job. How much would a reasonable tip be? Not to much but not to little since I may ask them to come back again.

you don’t need to tip them anything they get paid for the cleaning and that’s all.. now if they do a super job and want them to come back i would say 10.00 a person.. just to be nice but it is not standard for you too tip..If you were staying in a hotel that’s different.. beside’s they charge you enough to not need a tip.. hope this helps you
