Johannacat, Have your Mom try reg Rubbing Alcohol, it shines my faucets great. It is so costly to even use them for Lemonade in the summer. The lemon and baking soda makes my brass shine on the pots. I told hubby to stop wasting my catsup!!!. it is a lot less expensive for me . I buy the huge bag at Sams club of baking soda. 5 lb bag for around $3. I use it for laundry too.

Great ideas for sure,
what about washing and hanging out to keep clothes soft? I heard white vinegar and never tried it though as a softener?
