Vinegar: against: fungi (mould), calcium deposits; shaving brush, bathroom, washing machine / dishwasher once every dozen washes.
Baking soda: against: bacteria. Mouthwash (halitosis), dishwasher (rank smells), shoes (quarter teaspoon, against smelly feet), ... basically everything.
Bleach: poisonous so be careful (no toothbrushes :)). Mortal killing death to everything. Essentially, if something is so far gone you recoil, bleach will overcome. Great if you're Dexter.
Lemon: fish and other foody oils. Bad smell in your skin / hair. CSI episode had a girl showering with lemon juice because she smelled like corpse. I believe them.
These are the rules of thumb of house cleaning.
Nonsensical aside: Acid + baking soda = fizzy, I don't know if they cancel each other out :p

- emmelaich 10y agoRegarding your nonsensical aside: try the recipe for Swedish Lemon Angels. http://nowiknow.com/swedish-lemon-angels/ http://nowiknow.com/swedish-lemon-angels/
- peckrob 10y agoOn lemons: if you have a dirty microwave, put half a lemon in a glass of water and microwave for a few minutes. Then wipe down the inside of the microwave with no effort. After that, cut the lemon up and put the lemon down the disposal. Run it for a few seconds. Bam, no more bad smells from the disposal. Two for one!
