Answers:
You most definitely can use those items to clean. It's natural and also good to use if someone has allergies or has asthma. There's a funny tv show on BBC America, if you have that channel. It's on daily from 3-4pm and again at 7:30pm, called "How Clean Is Your House". These women go into homes that are thorougly disgusting and clean them. Most of the time they use lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, etc. You can get some great tips from their show or their website http://www.lifetimetv.com/shows/clean/vi...

Baking soda is a water softener. If your water is softer, it doesn't leave those nasty hard water stains plus it makes your laundry detergent work much better and it's great for absorbing odors. Vinegar and water is great for windows and though I've not tried lemon juice for stains, I hear it works great.
Baking soda and a little water will clean almost any hard surface like a mild "Ajax or Comet".
Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of baking soda into the drain and then pour about a half cup of vinegar. It will clean it and leave it smelling good.
A cup of vinegar into a drip style coffee maker and then about 5 or 6 rinses will clean out bacteria.
Window can be cleaned with vinegar (diluted)
Product buildup in your hair can be removed with a vinegar and water rinse.
After you brush your teeth (and still have a little of the toothpaste in your mouth), dip your toothbrush in baking soda and scrub teeth, tongue and gums. It whitens teeth.
You can clean the frig with vinegar and water.
Careful using baking soda and vinegar at same time. It will foam up if you are not ready for that reaction.
Both are non-toxic
P.S. toothpaste will clean a CD. Remember to rub from the center out. Bought one at a flea market that did not play at first, but did after cleaning it.
You can use all three as cleaners they all clean exceptionally well for instance you can use White Vinegar it is an all purpose cleaner/degreaser it can be used all around your home inside and out, Lemon juice can be used inside for whitening white things and used personally such as whitening your teeth, baking soda can be used to clean whole house as well it does many things from freshening your laundry to cleaning stains and scouring pots and pans without scratching, in fact they all can be used inside and outside your home for laundry use as well disinfecting removing odors, residues left by detergents and cleaners and a extra special note about Vinegar it has been touted as being the best disinfectant when used undiluted and diluted with water there is so much you can do with these items you have in your pantry the possibilities are endless, I personally use these for my own home cleaning , they work wonders and are less expensive I swear by them and have used these in my home for years, if you want to know more about them just use your favorite browser and type in hints and tips and you will find many ways to use these for cleaning, I would put some ideas here but there are way too many to list. Good Luck !
Baking Soda:
1. Use as a paste with water to clean grout, tile, or even silver.
2. Sprinkle a little on damp hard surfaces to scrub with a sponge, then rinse with clean water.
3. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda down your drains, then follow with 1/2 cup of white vinegar. When it stops foaming, pour six cups boiling water to flush out drain. This will unclog drains, and get rid of odors like the garbage disposal.
4. Sprinkly dry baking soda on carpet, let it sit 15 or 20 minutes, then vacuum away. This will remove odors from carpet.
5. Use the baking soda and water to scour any set in grease stains. This can be used on concrete grease stains, on your stove or oven, on your clothes, or just about anywhere that can get wet.
6. If you scorch food inside a pan, especially one that you can't use a rough abrasive scrubber on, sprinkly baking soda over the bottom and fill the bottom with about 1 inch of water. Boil on the stove until all the food loosens up. It will work.
7. Replace half of the laundry detergent you use in each load with baking soda. This increases the power of your detergent, and leave clothes smelling great. It will also cut down what you spend on laundry detergent by half.
Vinegar:
1. Keep a spray bottle with a mix of 1 part vinegar and 1 part water handy for many uses around the house. It's great for cleaning any type of glass. This goes for windows, mirrors, oven doors, or decorative glass.
2. Use the spray for counter tops, floors, anywhere you would use a multipurpose cleaner. Just use this instead.
3. Put a cup of vinegar into your wash cycles. This removes any odor that may be on the clothes or linens.
4. Vinegar wiped on stickers that you need removed will loosen them up if you let it sit about 10 minutes.
5. Soak your shower heads in vinegar to remove buildup and increase the flow.
6. You can spray vinegar anywhere you see ants or bugs in your home. They will not travel anywhere you spray it.
7. Vinegar will kill weeds, like in sidewalk cracks.
8. Apple cider vinegar, used 1/2 and 1/2 with warm water used as a rinse on your hair will completely remove all buildup from products that shampooing leaves behind, leaving your hair really shiny. Just rinse again with warm water to rid of the smell.
9. Apple cider vinegar is also said to have certain health benefits, like getting rid of heartburn if a couple teaspoons are swallowed, helping ease the pain of burns when used on a compress with ice water. Some people even take it mixed with the drink of their choice or a little honey to lower their bloodpressure of help with arthritis pain. I have tried the heartburn thing, and I know it works. It tastes horrible, I'll admit, but heartburn is no picnic either, right? You can find even more hints for vinegar and baking soda at:
