Many of the oxy cleaners and bleach formulas for colors have peroxide in them.

Peroxide is great to remove almost all organic stains. Wine, ketchup, blood, grass.

All the best!

I believe vinegar kills bacteria... I worked in a nursing home and the breathing machine tubing had to be soaked in a vinegar water mixture after use. I think it was to prevent mold/bacteria growth.

This is true to some extent. It is more correctly termed a sanitizer. After all, vinegar is created by yeast.

Sugar also has some antibacterial effect.

Vinegar can be used to keep cheese from getting moldy too soon. Just put your block of cheese in a ziplock baggie and add a few drops of vinegar (white). Don't add too much! Just a little and your cheese will hold up a very long time.

I use a cosmetic sponge to add my EO's. Then I pop it in the vacuum bag or canister and it fills the room with wonderful scents while you vacuum. Lovely!

It's a little late now but before next winter spray Pam on your satellite dish to prevent wet snow from accumulating and interfering with signal.

Great idea studedude! One winter my husband used a football to throw at the dish and knock off the snow. Pam sure sounds like a better option. LOL

Another thing Pam will do. Spray it on the aluminum wheels on your car to protect them from salt in the winter and make brake dust easier to remove all year long.
