Saving money AND the planet?
What are your tips for household cleaning and maintenance which fulfill both these objectives?
For instance, instead of buying lots of different cleaners, I use soda crystals for everything, which are very cheap, contain no phosphates or bleach, and are biodegradable. They can be used for cleaning absolutely everywhere in your house – Use them in your washing machine to soften the water and keep the pipes descaled, and use less detergent, as well as take out stains from your laundry. Clean your silverware effortlessly. Descale your kettle, shower and taps. Clean baked on hard grease from cookers and pans, clean floors etc, etc. The list goes on.
So, come on. What other tips have you got for me?
I use vinegar to wash all my floors instead of harsher chemicals. It’s cheap and disinfects as well as cleans.
I try to use rags instead of paper towels to cut down on waste.
