Bargain Eco-Friendly Cleaning - soda crystals and white vinegar

CleanFreak_3

Wilkinsons is doing a promotion on white vinegar (750ml for £1!) and a 1kg bag of soda crystals is 70p - dirt cheap (no pun intended!), the MSE forums are full of cleaning and laundry tips using them both. :beer:

I know a lot of people would like to try using eco-friendly cleaning products - well now there's no excuse!

Brilliant, thanks! I make my own laundry gloop using soda crystals and then add white vinegar instead of fabric softener so this will come in very handy!

No problem Squeezie, I've yet to make laundry gloop but I've always wanted to! What's your recipe?

White vinegar is under £2 for 5 litres in Chinese and some Asian stores .

If you know someone who goes to Bookers their Chef's Larder range distilled malt vinegar in 5L containers works out cheaper than the Wilkinson offer but I agree if you can't get someone to buy for you then it's a good deal.

I ordered some Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda 55oz box 6.99 from American Sweets to try, maybe that's soda crystals ??

??? <confused look>

Husband tried the Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda. Not sure what the heck it is apart from all natural (am presuming soda crystal powder) but the Ecover got frothier. I cut my knee in the garden while wearing denim blue linen trousers and as I'm on Aspirin bled like the proverbial stuck pig. The Arm & Hammer- Ecover combo got it out first time :T
