When it's time to clean, don't rush out to buy a bunch of cleaning supplies. Instead, see if you already have some materials at home that you can use.
Deodorant & Detergent
Materials: white vinegar, water, washed lemon zest, 3 to 4 sprigs of rosemary
Fill half of a spray bottle with water and the other half with white vinegar. Add some lemon zest and rosemary, then let it soak for a week. This homemade cleaner is great for wiping away water stains, freshening up a smelly trash can, or removing various dirt marks from walls.
Glass cleaner
Materials: water 500ml; white vinegar or apple cider vinegar 125ml; 70% disinfectant alcohol 60ml; 1~2 drops of citrus essential oil (optional)
Mixing the above ingredients and pouring them into a spray bottle is very effective for cleaning glass. However, avoid cleaning the glass when the sun is at its hottest, as it can leave marks and make the glass appear dirtier.
Kitchen stain remover
Materials: 10 drops of lemon essential oil, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/2 cup of alcohol, 1 cup of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of baking soda
Mix the ingredients and pour them into a spray bottle. Spray the homemade cleaner on the cooktop, let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub it off with a rag. The oil and grime will come off easily.

Ceramic Tile Cleaner
Materials: White vinegar, water, dish soap
This cleaner works on various surfaces like kitchen cabinets, glass, and tiles, effectively removing oil stains and dirt. Pour the solution into a spray bottle, spray it on the stains, and gently wipe with a towel to remove all kinds of grime.
Washing powder
Materials: 2 cups crushed soap, 1 cup baking soda, 1 cup borax powder, 1 cup detergent alkali
Mix all the ingredients well and store the mixture in a glass bottle with a lid. When washing clothes, add the homemade laundry detergent and use hot water for better results. In a washing machine, use 1/2 to 1 cup of detergent, or two cups if your clothes are particularly dirty.
Air Freshener Spray
Materials: 3 cups of water, 1 cup of vodka, 10 - 20 drops of essential oil
Vodka contains alcohol, which is a main ingredient in many air fresheners. Any kind of vodka will work. Add all the ingredients to a spray bottle and spray it into the air to enjoy your favorite scent.
All-purpose cleaner
Materials: 1 cigarette, 1 glass of liquor, a little water
Peel off the cigarette and put the tobacco into a spray bottle. Add the liquor and a little water, then screw on the lid and shake well. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the nicotine to fully infuse into the liquid. When the liquid turns yellow, it's ready to use. Spray the prepared solution on the items to be cleaned and dry them with a cloth. This mixture is effective for removing limescale from stainless steel kettles, stains on glass, water stains on refrigerators, and grease stains on cooktops.
