Cleaning uses for common household items

These ideas are from Front Range Inspection:

Hot sauce cleans copper-Rub it on dulled copper, rinse with water, and polish clean with a soft rag.
Olive oil brightens up wood-Use a thin coat to hydrate worn, dried-out wood, as long as it was originally treated with an oil finish. Finish by buffing it in.
White wine removes red wine-The first step in removing red wine stains is dousing the spot with white wine. Just blot with a clean rag to absorb the spill.
Vinegar cleans brushes-Boil a cup of white vinegar and rest hardened bristles in it overnight.
Cornmeal soaks up grease-Cover a fresh grease stain with cornmeal, let it sit a few hours, and sweep it up.
Baking soda removes tape residue-Make a thick paste of baking soda and water. Rub the paste onto bits of tape, then wipe clean.
Kitty Liter soaks up grease and oil stains on your concrete including the garage- Pour the kitty litter on the stain or spill completey cover the area and grind it in with your shoe, give it some time it will draw out the stain.
