What's a useful homemade recipe?

Natural cleaner

~~dollop of baking soda~~
dollop of (apple cider?) vinegar
dollop of lemon juice
dollop of water

Mix dollops in spray bottle. The end

Edit: Would definitely appreciate one for personal lubricant 🙏. Something something cornstarch)

- Stop putting baking soda and vinegar together as and claiming its a "cleaning solution"!
  Might as well put in the instructions to add a dollop of hot water and a dollop of cold water.
- That’s not what OP said. They said it’s a useful cleaner recipe.
Literally none of those substances can be measured in dollops.
- Hmm, do you think maybe OP meant a trollop, like your mother?
  
  They walked right into that top-shelf burn, bra
  
  Or maybe gallop, like your sister when I roll in with some oats
For a dyi air freshener add a bit of baking soda and a few drops of your favorite essential oil into a spray bottle and fill up with water. Shake before using.
This is great just as room spray, to freshen up clothes or I use one with lavender on my bedding for better sleep.
For a natural lube I'd recommend trying coconut oil or alcohol free aloe vera gel. Here is an Article with some alternatives.
I personally would love the recipe for Yam Lube from the "Grace and Frankie" series. Unfortunately, this seems to be fictional.
Make a tea with boiling water and whole cloves to help with a tooth ache. It'll numb your whole mouth (sore tooth included), and is apparently mildly antibacterial. My mom had a lot of dental problems, because she had a phobia of going to the dentist (my grandparents took her to a quack as a child), and this would always help.
- You can also just put the whole clove on the tooth just between tooth and cheek.
Not homemade, but check out uberlube. So good! You can also use it on your split ends or to lubricate a key.
