Save Money On Cleaning

Keeping your home clean is a lot of work and you need proper cleaning supplies to make it easier. Buying the supplies can put a dent in your budget.

Experiment with generic brands and items from the dollar store. Try to find all-purpose products instead of one item to clean the kitchen sink, another for the counter, etc.

Only use the recommended amount of the product. Many products are concentrated and only a small amount is needed.

It is also very economical to clean with simple formulas from ingredients at home. Here’s some homemade cleaning supply recipes:

• Glass cleaner:



Mix in a sprayer bottle:
1 cup rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol
1 cup water
1 tablespoon white vinegar




• Citrus Floor Cleaner:



1 gallon hot water
2 tablespoons liquid soap
15 drops orange essential oil
¼ cup lemon juice



• Furniture Polish:



Mix in a sprayer bottle:
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
Shake well and apply a small amount to a flannel cleaning rag or cleaning cloth. Spread evenly over furniture surface. Turn cloth to a dry side and polish dry.
