From 15 Quick Fixes to Make Around Your House:

1) Fix Squeaky Door Hinges with WD-40
Spray WD-40 on your door’s hinges, swinging the door back and forth to lubricate them. You can also rub the hinges with petroleum jelly if you don’t have any WD-40.

2) Life Stains Off a Tub
Mix equal parts cream of tartar and baking soda with enough lemon juice to make a paste, and then use a cloth to rub the paste into the stains. After half an hour, rinse clean.

3) Un-scuff Linoleum 
You can break out your WD-40 for a second use–spray some onto the scuff and rub it off with a towel. Make sure to wipe the oil away with some dishwashing soap afterwards. No WD-40? Use an eraser or white toothpaste and a cloth to rub that scuff away.
