These Three Inexpensive Cleaning Products Perform Miracles

What we know for sure is that these three ordinary household cleaning products really can perform miracles.

BUY RIGHT | Supermarkets everywhere contain aisles full complex and sexy (the Method brand comes to mind) home and laundry products all claiming maximum cleaning efficiency. Would that everything their manufacturers said about them were true. Then again, there isn’t much any of these companies could say about their liquids and powders that would sway us away from our arsenal of basic, inexpensive household cleaners. Why make a switch when every one of them is a miracle worker—every time out.—Team Frugalbits

Ordinary & Amazing

What is it about ordinary distilled white vinegar that encourages list making? Google “vinegar” and you’ll see what I mean. Vinegar lovers throw around all kinds of crazy numbers in their effort to woo you to their website. These kinds of hysterical pronouncements give vinegar a bad name. There’s no way I feel encouraged to try a product that can serve a billion purposes, particularly when almost all of these claims are little more than a few sentences that are part of a list.

As the numbers climb higher, every claim about vinegar starts to feel like a joke. Give me one “researched and proven” reason to use this product, and I will turn right back around (thanks, Tracy Chapman). Turns out I didn’t have to look very far to find three. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE.

Back To Basics

Call me a freak, but putting on rubber gloves and plunging my hands into my own toilet bowls to clean them with a scrubbing sponge doesn’t bother me at all. What does bother me is that no matter what cleaning products I use, the bowls of my newish toilets look dirty again in days. Frustrated by the ineffectiveness of Vim, Ajax, Lysol et al., I turned to cheap, common household bleach. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE.

The Miracle Worker

At Frugalbits we’re suckers for expert advice so last spring, when we wanted to know how to remove perspiration stains from white tee shirts, we contacted Madame Paulette in New York City, an international expert in fabric care. The company president graciously shared Madame Paulette’s DIY stain removal formula with our readers (CLICK HERE for the story), and although it is good and useful, we’ve recently been introduced to an even simpler solution that’s equally effective and no work at all.
