I keep baby wipes in the bathroom and use for quick wipe-ups, i.e. personal use, floor drips, faucet handle wipe ups, toilet seat. Sprinkle some vinegar on the targeted area and use wipe ups to finish. Easy, easy, easy.

You can also try rubbing baby oil or shaving cream on your clean shower doors to keep them shiny and fog free. Shaving cream can also be used to remove built up soap scum on shower doors, walls and fixtures (found on 10 Household Cleaning Quick Tips). [...]

Another great way to clean the shower is pledge or no brand cleaner. Just spray on and wipe off. No scrubbing! and the soap scum comes right off. Works great on the tracks and chrome/stainless steel also.

ETA: Washing A Dishwasher or Washing Machine

you can probably buy citric acid in a well sorted grocery store or your nearest pharmacy. no need to buy soft drinks and literally pour them down the sink.

vinegar and acetic acid can also be used to remove calcified deposits in your washing machine and toilet etc. both of these usually can be found in your grocery store.

you might find large cans of acetic acid in your gardening store. then for the use a weed killer.

12-24% acetic is fairly strong stuff. perhaps dilute ten times in water.

use a floor dust mop with a removeable/washable cover to dust your walls. Use a clean one for your walls 2x year. Pop in the washing machine when done!

Koolaid also contains citric acid and now comes in “invisible” flavors, meaning no dye. If your store doesn’t have invisible flavors, the lemonade flavor contains the least coloring. It’s less of an investment if you haven’t tried this technique before.
