Scouring cleanser: Mix together 1/2 cup baking soda and 2 tablespoon liquid detergent. Add enough vinegar to give it a thick, creamy texture.
Coffee makers: Add one cup of vinegar to the water reservoir. Run a cycle. Run a second cycle with fresh water. All of the mineral deposits, and built up coffee grounds will be flushed away.

Deodorize and clean your garbage disposal (OPTION 2): Vinegar ice cubes. Freeze vinegar in ice cube trays. Drop a few cubes into the garbage disposal, and let the faucet run with a small steam of cold water. Turn on the disposal.
Stains in coffee and tea mugs: Sprinkle a little baking soda and salt in the mug. Add a few drops of vinegar and scrub. The stains will disappear. Rinse clean.

Clean the microwave: Mix a 1/2 cup vinegar and a 1/2 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Put it in the microwave for 5 minutes on high. When done, remove bowl, and use a cloth or sponge to wipe down the inside of the microwave. It removes odors, and breaks up that dried on food.
Cleaning the refrigerator: Mix together 1 part vinegar to 1 part water solution and use it to clean inside and outside of the refrigerator. This also works on that built up grime on the top.
