Cleaning my house is something I sometimes like to do and sometimes see as an obliged thing. Doing so can also work as a therapy and puts your mind of things.
What I do like are tips and trucs about cleaning. For example I recently learnt that coca cola works to make scale go away. Funny!
If you've got cleaning tips, please tell me, I like to know.

"truc" is a french word, is it used in english too?

I use newspapers instead of a clothe to clean my windows, it doesn't leave marks

Halo Scopio17

"A clean house is a happy home"

Being a fixed sign I agree wholeheartedly, one of my favorito things to do for therapy.

One only needs two cleaning products though....

Vinegar and Borax.

They are both natural, cheap and leave no odor, chemicals or harmful residue of any kind.

I also use Grain Alcohol 191 proof: dilute it
95% water + 5% Grain alcohol to clean 100% bacteria. It goes a lonnnng way and has absolutely NO CHEMICALS, no PCB's or recyclables to throw away.

Borax is concentrated, very cheap and can be made into any household cleaning product one needs...
dish detergent. clothes detergent and even shower products if you are not fussy....
It is natural and again, leaves no odor or residue on your dishes or clothes than can seep into your body...
(which BTW can build up in your body and cause dis-ease.)

Vinegar is excellent for cleaning wood and floors.

They are both cheap and last a very long time.

Hope this helps.
