I always use vinegar and water to clean glass or surfaces, works well and the smell disappears as it dries. No more headaches from cleaning liquids!
Make a past of baking soda and water, leave it on- this can dissolve burnt stuff on pots and pans or on the stove. My mom leaves it on baking dishes overnight, I leave it for 30 minutes on the stove. Be sure to rinse/wash well after though as baking soda can leave a residue.
My mom always used this to clear up slow drains- take baking soda, try to pour as much as you can into the drain (NOT around it, into it) and then pour in vinegar- of course it fizzes up lke crazy but she always used it to make the drain go quicker
