Soap scum is easily removed from a colored bathtub with 'Goo Gone' citrus cleaner. Follow with dishsoap cleaning so the tub won't be slippery.

Soap scum on glass shower doors is easily removed with a glass-ceramic stovetop cleaner such as 'Cerama Bryte'. Works like a miracle :)!

I found that toilet bowl cleaner ( and not even the expensive ones) work for sooo many other things!

First, get over the fact that its toilet bowl cleaner..its a cleaner..it wasnt made with urine and feces...so dont even go there.

I have used it on rust stains on linolium, hard water and calcium on lots of different surfaces.

I had a clear plastic bowl for my pets drinking water, and it had a thick film because we have such hard water. I coated it with toilet bowl cleaner and then washed it with dishsoap a couple of times..it looks brand new. I actualy cleaned several of my plastic bowls, a lawn chair and a kiddie pool with this stuff. It was easier and quicker than Lime away or anything like that

Try it out, you might find new uses for it

cleaning product.
Soap Ends are used for several house hold uses and more.
to get started you will need a container with a lid,soap ends,water.
Put soap ends in container add some water let stand for a few days until the soap becomes mushy,then squeeze the soap until it breaks apart.repeat process as you finish up soap ends.
don't worry if it dries up just add water and mix again.
After you have enough soap you can do many things with it.
Pour into another bowl/container and
dilute soap with warm water every time you use it.
wash clothes,dishes,floors,animals,house hold cleaning,bathing,just about anything you need to clean.
Bathing-put wash cloth in it and bathe. rinse wash cloth after bathing and return back to container.

If you have ANTS in your house mainly around the patio door area this works in one night:

Take AJAX/COMET spread thick along the base of the door, then pour water over it. Leave it over night.

I SWEAR THIS WORKS!

I was taking care of a friends home, and read this somewhere so I tried it.
The NEXT DAY they were GONE!

My friend came home from her vacation and she couldnt believe it as she tried everything. The ants were coming from outside through the back door to the patio and would even end up in the cat's food bowl.

AJAX WORKS AMAZING!

don't have a pot scraper to remove stuck on food. just make a ball of aluminum foil and scrub the pot. it works even better.
