My Frugal Frugal Ways

Diluted white vinegar is great for cleaning windows and mirrors. I buy it in the gallon jugs.

Use baking soda to clean sinks, counters, and bathtubs. I buy it in bulk at the restaurant supply store. Once per week (don’t worry, I clean my shower more often but this I do once per week) I sprinkle some baking soda on the shower floor, take a wet sponge and keep dipping it in, and gently scrub all the walls and floor of the shower/bathtub. Then I take my morning shower which rinses away the residue. That is followed by my normal daily spray and wipe of the area.

Diluted vinegar makes a great air freshener.

For furniture polish, I mix 1/2 lemon oil with 1/2 white vinegar, put in spray bottle, shake well, and spray a soft cloth.

To clean linoleum, diluted white vinegar works well.

Can you tell I love my white vinegar?

Using homemade cleaners has the added benefit of leaving a healthier environment than chemical cleaners.
