Saving Money on Household Cleaners

Homemade Cleaning ProductsThese are a few tips/recipes that have saved me loads of money! Three products that we use a lot of in our house are Febreze, all purpose kitchen cleaner (Fantastic, etc.) and liquid hand soap. I used to spend at least $25 a month on these. Now I spend around $3.50 a month. This is how you can do it too!

  • Febreze: Using a funnel, pour 1 cup of classic Gain fabric softener into a 28 oz. spray bottle. Add water to fill the bottle near the top, shake well and use on couches, drapes, etc. It will not leave spots, dries quickly, and smells even better than the real thing!

  • All Purpose Cleaner: Pour 1 cup Mr. Clean Gain scented concentrated cleaner into a 32 oz. bottle. Add water to fill the bottle near the top, shake well and use to clean counters, stove top, even bathrooms. Great degreaser, leaves fantastic smell. Any concentrated cleaner will do, I just enjoy the Gain scent.

  • Liquid Hand Soap: Squeeze about 1 inch of Gain scented or any good dish soap into a 13.5 oz. (or similar sized) hand soap bottle. Add water to fill the bottle near the top, shake well and enjoy "nearly free" hand soap.

Doing these things has saved me so much money! I hope you are able to use and enjoy them yourself. :)

When purchasing household cleaning items, buy just a few things. In my home, bleach and vinegar works wonders.

I use bleach to wash my floors, clean my sinks and bathroom, wash walls, and a number of other things.

Instead of buying the pricey spray room fresheners, I buy the refills for the automatic sprayers. They last nearly forever and are more economical. The same goes for the automatic shower cleaner.
