You'll need three items: lemons, baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda is great for de-staining dishes and mugs, and deodorizing carpets. Vinegar polishes glass and clears gunk from gadgets and showers. Lemon juice makes short work of kitchen counters, while the peels fight odour and bacteria in garburators. ONE SWEET SEAT! Dream of bringing your armchair to the cinema? No need: Landmark Cinemas just outfitted all 12 auditoriums at its Guildford Town Centre, Surrey, location with wall-to-wall recliners. The plush chairs ease back to 40 degrees and raise a footrest at the push of a button.

A: Both pay off your mortgage in the event of the unthinkable. But mortgage insurance only covers your balance owing, and ends when your mortgage does. Life insurance always pays out a set amount, and beneficiaries can spend the money however they want. BCAA now offers five-, 10- and 20-year term life insurance policies. bcaa.com/insurance ECO-CLEANING ALL STARS ALL STARS This spring, try going your cleaning.
