Since I am home on bed rest right now I have TONS of time to think of ways to save money, things to do before the baby is born, and all the things I need to deep clean before she arrives (I think I might be nesting a bit). By the way for those of you that don't know; the baby is doing GREAT, but there is something a little corky with my anatomy (go figure) that has caused me to be on bed rest until we see the perinatologist again on Monday. Today's post will be some ideas I have gotten from other people and some of my own to help cut cost right now:
- Making your own laundry detergent (Shannon says it is really quick, easy, and CHEAP) http://planetgreen.discovery.com/home-garden/make-your-own-laundry-soap.html
- Sounds to me if you play the system right you can get some amazing deals using coupons and this website: http://www.couponmom.com/
- Using towels instead of paper towels...for mirrors newspaper works best!
- All purpose cleaner: 1 part vinegar to 1 part water and 8 drops of lemon essential oil (use in spray bottle)
- Toilet cleaner: Sprinkle baking soda around the edge of the toilet bowl and then add 1 Cup of vinegar. It foams up then just scrub as usual.
- Floor cleaner: 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar. And mop away!
- Glass cleaner: Piece of crunched up newspaper, pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol and clean mirrors or any glass surface…..Works GREAT!!
- Removing Hairspray Residue (this is a new one I've found, but haven't tried yet)
You can use this formula to remove hair spray residue from any hard surface -- vanities, tile, floors, walls, etc. Mix a solution of 1/3 liquid fabric softener and 2/3 water in a spray bottle. Spray on the surface to be cleaned, and wipe. Not only does it remove hair spray, it also acts as a dust repellent and shines vanities beautifully.
