There are a number of ways you can save money in your day to day living costs. In addition to trying to find ways to cut back the costs of normal monthly outgoings, including utilities, groceries and Ohio home insurance premiums, you can save money and help the environment as well by switching from commercial cleaning products to homemade.
Homemade cleaning products may be surprisingly efficient and in addition to being a fraction of the cost of commercial cleaners, they are generally fume-free and safer for the environment. Here are a small number of ideas to get you started:
·    Use white vinegar to wash windows and mirrors
·    Use baking soda and vinegar to clean workbenches and bathroom tiles
·    Use lemon juice to wash copper and brass
·    Mop floors with tea tree oil and vinegar
Always check before using homemade cleaning products on any surface, as many homemade products could be abrasive and most likely are not suitable for all sorts of surface, particularly tiles. And in addition increased savings, scaling down on harsh chemicals in your home could positively impact the health of your family.
