Fabric softener......The best thing for taking off old wallpaper!  The spray on gel doesn't work near as well!  Makes it really easy to peel it off!

WD 40 is a wonderful product with a multitude of uses, besides freeing up rusted or squeeky hinges, etc.  I have used it to remove gum, sticky labels, stains, tar, tree sap and more.  Also, it is non toxic, safe for most anything!

Hydrogen peroxide, good for cuts is also good for getting out stains, blood stains, deoderant stains, red wine stains, all kinds of stuff.

Baking soda & a few drops of dish soap mixed in water is good for getting rid of garden pests.

Paste wax for your car is great for waxing hardwood floors, if you want to do the work.  (Careful, they get really slick)
