    Hi thanks so much for your tips. Here's one for you.
    When doing a deep clean after cleaning my baseboards I give them a coat of furniture polish. It stops the dust from sticking to them and allows you to simply use the microfibre duster in between deep cleans.

    Use the rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to clean glass, chrome and windows. It works so good. I clean my sunglasses and eye glasses with rubbing alcohol. You can also use it to sanitize and clean your cell and house phone, remote controls, door knobs, places people touch all the time. I just do like you. In a spray/mist bottle or to get into cracks like on your keyboard, use a Q-tip or dampen/spritz an old cotton rag for tight spots.

    I use white vinegar for mirrors, windows and getting rid of limescale in the sink. I also add half a cup to my laundry, descaled the washing machine, stops odours buildings in the machine and sanitises the clothing. I use baking soda and water paste to clean greasy ovens, pots &pans and you can leave it on then come back and spray with vinegar and wipe off. No chemical smell or taste on food after cleaning the oven! Strong, natural cleaning for pennies! Just use gloves to protect your hands. You can also use baking soda and lemon juice in an open jar to suck up fridge smells or tobacco smells in the car 😊 if you hate the vinegar smell just add an essential oil.

    I used shaving cream to clean greasy build up in front of the my range. Spray the shaving cream in as many piles as you have kids. Let them fingerpaint in the shaving cream. When the bubbles are gone, damp mop. Works best on linoleum and sealed tile. Not for children under three, monitor while they play. If you have time, it is fun for them and gets your floor clean.

      I wondered about this, too, because toothpaste contains fluoride, which is a very reactive chemical and I would not consider it safe for all stones.

You end up with a brushed gold finish instead of smooth.
