HELP: What Cleaning Stuff do I really Need got Half of Tesco under my Sink!!

124»

Comments

  • Mostly I use:
    Stardrops diluted for general kitchen cleaning
    Microfibre cloths
    White vinegar as a fabric conditioner
    Bicarb soda for smelly washing (gyms stuff)
    Lidl dishwashing tablets cut in half

    I also keep in the house:
    Bleach for tea stains on the sink and for the loo occasionally
    Cream cleaner if I have an oily bath :)
    Whatever washing up liquid is on offer
    Value washing powder (tesco huge box for about £2)
    Value fabric conditioner (only use sometimes)

    I'm also still using up stuff from my pre-ms days (this time last year!! which just shows how much c**p I had in the house)

    micrifibre cloths are key really. I discovered e cloths from an mse poster and they are wonderful. I only need a quick spray of water and a bit of elbow grease and the job is done

    I also have bleach in my house for toilet disinfection and a spray bleach for de-staining my stainless steel sink

    and good old faithful stardrops as it is such a good all-rounder
  • I had a look for some stardrops at Tescos last night couldnt find any :confused:
    I must admit that I had never heard of them till I started coming on here...I will try Asda next time I go...What type of bottle is it in?

    I use thin bleach for toilet and kitchen sink etc
    Finish dishwasher tablets..But when I have run out I will buy cheaper ones..Didnt know they could be cut in half, I will have to try that :)
    For polishing etc I just use a damp cloth
    Value washing powder
    Mr sheen window cleaner..Dont rate this as it leaves smears :rolleyes:
    Dettol floor cleaner for kitchen floors...But will look out for a cheaper alternative when this has ran out
    I just use washing up liquid for cleaning tiles etc
