Fill your toothbrush storage container with Listerine mouthwash and place your tooth brush in it bristle end down. This will keep out bacteria.

cass1892 - antibacterial sprays can easily be made using a water mixture and tea tree oil, just a few drops of oil to a cup of water should do the trick.

To keep sink clean, after wshing up, I sprinkly surface with bicarbonate of soda and spritz with vinegar I keep in a spray bottle. I use my (clean) dish rag to scrub the surface, then rinse with hot water. Follow up with hydrogen peroxide and you increase the antibacterial punch and reduce water spots. This is environmentally friendly and works better than any commercial cleaners!

This is a question not a tip. On the last series they mentioned how to make your own antibacterial sprays but i cant rember how. Does anyone remember please let me know. Thanks

Be careful to NEVER use ammonia based cleaners for floors or other cleaning (such as a trash container, or even windows) if you have pets. I was scrubbing my floors and patio doors with ammonia and hot water. Cleaned great but the dog mistook the ammonia smell for urine and now "marks its territory" where the ammonia cleaner was used. BAD! Ammonia smell will last long after another cleaner is used over it-- a dog can still smell it when we can't. Antibacterial is best.

Make a large flat bag of cotton sheeting to fit under your mattress. Then fill it loosely with dried beech leaves collected during autumn. It shouldn't be full so that it still lies flat. Place under your mattress as it works as an antibacterial and gives you restful dreams, remember to turn your mattress and change the leaves each autumn.

Pongy trainers? Fill an old sock with tea and a couple of drops of tea tree oil, a natural antibacterial. Leave in your shoes overnight.
