I use vinegar a lot for cleaning, as well as baking soda. It stinks but it's non-toxic. My great grandmother used vinegar for everything. I don't, but it's useful in a lot of ways. One purpose I use it to death for is mineral deposits. The water around here is hard, so vinegar gets those deposits off shower heads, coffeemaker interior, bathroom/kitchen faucets.

Baking soda and vinegar is good to get baked on residue off of pots. Or used dryer sheets. The baking soda makes my tea kettle shine.

Out of habit, I still conserve water. The water I run until the shower gets hot I save in a bucket. Then use that to flush the toilet, just pour it in quickly.

I like to pre-heat my coffee mug by letting hot water sit in it, while my coffee brews. Then, I empty the water and drink it later when it cools. The warm mug keeps my coffee hot longer, and I also use the lid of a cottage cheese container to retain the heat between sips.

Lemon juice is good for getting out that "underarm stink" on fabric. Also good to remove rust around drains, let it sit at least a half hour.

After the shower, I spray some diluted vinegar and water on the walls. This keeps scum from forming, and wiping it down keeps water spots away.
