Frugal Cleaning Strategies

One of my big issues is with the cost of cleaning supplies. This winter, while funds are low, I must learn to clean frugally. I already buy the cheapest brands at the cheapest prices. This just will not work for me this winter. Money is going to be too tight.

Here are my solutions so for:

* Laundry:

When I really cannot afford laundry detergent, I will use a squirt or two of dish detergent or a capful of cheap shampoo. Both work well.

I will also be trying vinegar or a water and baking soda mixture. I will still use my Downy ball for this, filling to the fill line.

* Dishwasher:

We are currently testing how much washer detergent that we really need. We will go as low as we can on this.

I will also use vinegar instead of Jet-Dry.

Warmest Wishes,
