HELP: What Cleaning Stuff do I really Need got Half of Tesco under my Sink!!
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)0 -
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-rounder0 -
