Cleaning your apartment takes not only time, but also money. To save both, just follow these simple tips.
Daily Cleaning
A good way to save money is to clean every day. A quick 5-10 minute cleaning will reduce the need for cleaning products needed to remove stubborn stains and heavy dirt. Just wipe the quickly dirty areas with a damp cloth soaked in soapy water and your home will be clean.
Don't put off cleaning for later
It's better to clean up stains from "runaway milk" or a spilled cup of coffee right away. It is much easier and cheaper to do this than after some time. Fresh household stains are easily removed with water, even without the use of cleaning agents. Therefore, there is no need to be lazy and put off for later what can be quickly removed today.
Refusal of famous brands
Advertising is the engine of trade and the enemy of the wallet. When choosing popular brands, it is worth considering whether they are as good as the manufacturer promises. Very often, the composition of advertised products is no different from cheaper analogues. Therefore, you should not overpay for well-known packaging and advertising.
Remove excess
Stores offer cleaning products for literally every type of dirt. But is it worth spending money on almost identical compositions? After all, it is enough to buy one universal product that will cope with dirt and tidy up the house.
Reusable items
Paper and wet wipes for cleaning are convenient, but not practical. To save money, it is better to opt for reusable napkins. For example, microfiber cloths are suitable for both dry and wet cleaning and last much longer.
Cleaning products from improvised products
Cleaning products can be made from products found in every home. For example, table vinegar, citric acid and hydrogen peroxide are real helpers in the fight against limescale and yellow rust stains. Baking soda is a natural abrasive that removes dirt in the kitchen without harming your health. Preparing “homemade” cleaning products from available products will not only help keep costs to a minimum, but will also protect you from dangerous “chemicals.”
Bide the time
Do not wash off cleaning products immediately after use. For the best effect, you must wait for the time indicated on the package. For example, toilet bowl gel should be applied for at least 15 minutes. During this time, the dirt will have time to dissolve, and for perfect cleanliness it will be enough to wash off the gel with water. This simple tip will help reduce the consumption of cleaning products and save energy.
Promotions and discounts
Promotions and discounts in stores are a great opportunity to save money. If there is a universal product on the shelf at an attractive price, then it is better to stock up on it for future use, for example, you can buy two or three packages at once. Such a purchase will create a “strategic reserve” and save money.
