plain white vinegar plus bi carb = DIY eco friendly drain cleaner.
Bi carb poured over oil marks on the drive (new ones) will draw out the oil

Chux Magic Eraser gets texta, crayon, anything off your walls its a miracle

Yes, bicarb and vinegar. We use it on our bathroom sink, too, and no one can ever tell that we dont use a chemical cleaner. Also, bicarb is great for soaking up puppy pee puddles.
