When cleaning an outside patio use soda crystals diluted in water it gets rid of the green that builds up over winter. Also if you need to clean smelly dog wee from your garden patio use washing powder or the fabric washing liquid - i use daz, mixed with water!
Save old toothbrushes they are great cleaning tools for around taps, shower head, on the grout between tiles etc, and you can use most cleaning products with them them!
When washing delicates like tights and popsocks - put them iside a normal sock, it stops them getting ripped and tangled with the rest of your washing!
Rub a small amount of aromatherapy oil onto light bulbs (make sure they are turned off) when the lights are turned on the bulbs heat up and you get a lovely scent!
