    hi
    i have decided not to buy any more cleaning products as i have been working out which home made recipes work. so now we make our own dishwasher powder, washing up liquid, spray cleaner, soap and laundry liquid. all from recipes from here and tipnut.com
    ( the dishwasher powder was the trickiest to get right)

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Hi! Room for another one? I should have enough of everything except maybe soap powder until August. Soap powder usually lasts about six months and I can see the bottom of the packet already! Found two new loo cleaners buried in a cupboard yesterday - and I know I have a basket with various cleaners waiting to be used up out in the garage - put there when we had the new kitchen fitted last summer!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
