Three savvy ways to keep cleaning costs down and get your home spick and span
CLEANING is a chore but don't let it weigh heavy on your pocket too. You don't need to buy fancy products to get a sparkling pad. 7 Here's how you can keep costs down and get your home spick and span… TIDY DEAL: Pricey specialised solutions make plenty of promises for a sparkling home, but the reality is that you can create your own sprays for a snip of the price. You don't need separate sprays for different rooms such as the bathroom and kitchen. Just keep old spray bottles and refill with water and a few drops of washing up liquid to clean sides and spaces that need a light clean. For areas that need deeper sanitising, such as sinks and toilets, mix ten parts water with one part bleach in a spray bottle. You can buy supermarket own-label bleach for under £1. Glass and mirrors can be cleaned with water with a few added drops of lemon juice and white vinegar. Spray and wipe with a microfibre cloth. TOUGH LOVE: Even for tougher grime and deep cleaning, you rarely need to buy ready-made products. On limescale, lemon juice will work wonders. I tried Zoflora's new carpet cleaner - it works in just 30 seconds and leaves your home smelling super fresh (1) Squeeze juice from the fruit on to the build up and let it sit for at least an hour, which should help to dissolve the residue. Black mould can look unsightly and special cleaners are pricey. Bleach effectively kills the growth, just spray or wipe surfaces. You can help remove it from silicon by soaking cotton wool in bleach and popping on sealants, then leave overnight. SCRAP THE SPONGE: Lose disposable sponges which need constant replacing. Instead try giving ruined clothing a second use and cut up as rags to use for wiping. You can also use crumpled aluminium foil for scrubbing when dealing with ingrained grime on dishes.
