For all outer surfaces of the toilet, make sure you use a sponge or cloth that you keep just for this purpose.

Simply squirt some white vinegar into a bucket of hot water for a chemical-free floor cleaner.

If your tiles are ceramic don’t use a soap solution as it will dull the surface with a thin layer of scum

With one sponge soaked in vinegar and the other with bicarb, use them like the Karate Kid and wipe on, then wipe off.

As long it's not too dirty, you can clean your oven using bicarb, vinegar, salt and a bit of elbow grease.

Use door mats at all external doors to dramatically reduce dirt and grime walking in on the soles of shoes.

Microfibre easily cuts through grease and grime and has amazing results on stainless steel surfaces.

Don't forget to rinse the bath well after you clean it, if bathing in cleaning residue is not what you had in mind!

Give blinds a regular dust with an electrostatic duster or if you have the time, wipe with a damp cloth.
