Going to start a thread on hacks because sometimes we all could use a little help.
One of my favourites is a solution for cleaning almost anything. Tub, sinks, tiles, Lately gutters that get moldy and green, windows & tracks and even vinyl blinds which I did yesterday (with a little help). Spray on wipe off or rinse off depending on what you are cleaning.
Here are the two ingredients for the solution: Equal parts vinegar and Dawn dish soap. No harsh ingredients.

We use this in our bathrooms, works pretty good for most grime. 😉 It's great. I spray it in the sink, even after I have cleaned it, and leave it on. It basically cleans itself after every use. I spray it in the tub before I climb in to take care of any scum, watch it can be slippery used this way. Leaves chrome super shiny after washing it off and drying with a cloth. I read somewhere that Dawn prevents the mirror and eye glasses from fogging up.

I find it works OK for soap scum build up, spray and leave it on for about 30 minutes. I shower every day but have a tendency to not clean it every day after use, so soap scum builds up . I tried some commercial product that was advertised to work, but the fumes and chemicals were dangerous so I took it back. I don't think you'll be asphyxiated or have chemical burns by the dawn and vinegar combination. My son is a fanatic about cleaning his vehicles, he swears by Dawn dish detergent, and that's all we use for actual dishes and pots that we don't put in the dishwasher.

I remember this one from my childhood. Our hired help would use old newspaper to clean windows and glass. Glass that shines with no lint. Still works.
