Run out of oven cleaner? Whip up a one-part vinegar to one-part baking soda mix, apply it to your oven and wipe it clean. Full instructions found here.

Red wine carpet stains? Your friends came around last night and things took a turn. These nerdy chemistry students have your back.

Dusty blinds? Mix up a 50-50 ratio of vinegar to water in a spray bottle and take to them with one of your odd socks which dwell in the laundry.

Finger-marked faucets? Rub over them with lemons and witness the magic.

Nasty hair-bush? This is common scenario and embarrassing situation when someone asks to borrow your brush. Use shampoo or dish washing detergent to loosen the hair, and pull it out with ease.
