simple cleaning tips: vinegar & water spray

make vinegar your friend! white vinegar is natural deodorizer, dissolves dirt and water scum naturally and effectively. also since there are no coloring agents the vinegar solution will not stain. no more harsh chemicals to do the job and it's inexpensive. also great for people with allergies!
