Save Zillions On Cleaning Products

Try just using a vinegar and water solution first on the taps and see if that works?

I periodically use bleach in the sink and instead of using the plug I stuff kitchen paper in the plug hole and the bleach soaks into and then cleans the draining bit.

This may have already been mentioned, but there is a cheap product from pound shops called Elbow Grease and is for removing, well strangely enough grease. It is the best cleaner I have ever used and you don't need a lot of it so it is cheap.

Hello, I've just been reading (most of) this thread. I was looking for how to make my laundry smell nice, especially after I tumble dry it.

At the moment I use ecover and fabric conditioner but I see that white vinegar would be good for lots of things as well as instead of fabric conditioner. Then I'm thinking I would need something to make the laundry smell nice?

Also I don't get soda crystals or stardrops (having never used them), how do I clean bathroom tiles and worktops, and the grease near the cooker with these?

Also I'm interested in the putting vinegar solution on my car windscreen to stop the frost, could I mix it with the windscreen wash in the tank? I normally use that red bottled firewater stuff but it's not that good.

Hello, I'm checking my subscribed threads and giving this one a cheeky bump since no-one has posted for ages on it & I had some questions at post 305 if anyone can help. My update is that I do have stardrops now

Catz how about a flannel soaked with a few drops essential oil in with your tumble drying?

It's a good idea that one, I've heard a few people mention it. I was using those tumble dry sheets but if they get stuck to just one piece of clothing and concentrate on it, that bit makes me itch. I need some nice smelling essential oils.

The vinegar fabric condition is still working well & makes normal washing powder smell stronger

Thank you for that. I have also found about half a tbsp of Stardrops in the dishwasher dispenser brings my dishes up brilliantly.
