Sorry if this has been posted before somewhere but I am new to the board.

I have just ran out of white vinegar so need some help. I really do not want to go out today and am sticking to my weekly shopping budget so do not want to spend anymore until next week (I know it's only vinegar but even so!!).

I have in my cupboards :-

lemon juice (in a bottle)
washing up liquid
domestos bleach
bicarb
dettol disinfectant

Can anyone suggest an all round cleaner that I can stick in my bottle and just squirt. I have to be able to use it in th kitchen and bathroom.

Thanks guys. I'm sure someone can help. :j

Do you have any microfibre cloths?

Hi there, yes I do. Two of them.

Pink.

Microfibre cloths are great.....to clean glass, just use a damp one to wipe over the glass then buff the glass with a dry one.

When you do next go shopping get stardrops. This is cheap, cleans lots of things and lasts for ages. I put some diluted stardrops in a spray bottle and use it on everything.

Bicarbonate paste is great for scrubbing marks off baths sinks etc; I'm not sure how it works in dilution, but a temporary spray made of 2 tablespoons lemon juice, tablespoon of bicarb and a cup of water should be worth a go

Thank you Seakay. That is what I was thinking of doing. Just for a few days, I'm sure it will be fine.

Bit off topic but does anyone know how to clean permanent market pen of rendered outside walls ?
I'm so cross (to say the least)...........seems last night about 11pm a local youth walked up out street, drew a long blue line across my wall and carried on further up the street doing much the same thing.
Our foster lad's girlfriend saw who did it and Ive reported it to the police and they asked if I'd tried cleaning it off - seems if I do, its not criminal damage, if I don't and it goes to court the lad concerned could still get away with it and it would cost me a lot more to clean it off.
So I need help..............haven't a clue what to do with this. If I repainted the front wall of the house would that cover it up ?

I have used Isopropyl Alcohol to remove the same thing from a metal street sign, it worked very well. ( Not the same as surgical spirit which is much cheaper, but worth a try if you have any in the house).

Anything stronger may well take off paint/finish etc.

I got mine as a special order from the chemist, a 500 ml bottle cost about £5
