#44, boakes, answer is half a cup. read posts 862 and 991 in the budgets who needs them thread, that tells how to multiply your 1 litre of vinigar into three litres. I too have tried it, yes it works. Very handy for the washing.

don't know where westi is but that's how I read it too. Doesn't sound quite right does it? In the mean time, if you sprinkle baking soda on your carpets and leave it for half an hour to an hour (or while you go out is good) then vacuum it off, that should help with the smells.

Oven cleaner Oops! the recipe I used was from another list. 1/2 cup ammonia, 1/2 cup laundry powder and 1 litre boiling water into large oven dish. Switch oven off at wall and close oven door. I used some paper towels around door so that no fumes could escape. Leave overnight. Wipe with a cloth and use mixture to get baked on grease off. Works a treat.

For the spray in wipe is there a particular reason for eucalyptus oil?Just wondering because I thought lemon oil would be so much better...
