A great way to remove bird poop from an outside deck is to scrub it with red cider vinegar.
Clean windows, glass and mirrors by collecting tea leaves in a bucket. Cover with rainwater and leave overnight. Strain and use with a squeegee. Dry with three-day-old or older newspaper.
After raking the yard, don't throw away the leaves. Spread them over the garden and wet down. Till in the spring to add nutrients for the plants, as the leaves decompose.
