Household Products Are Expensive. False ! The Proof in 5 Examples.

Household Products Are Expensive. False ! The Proof in 5 Examples.

Every day we use many household products, because we want a beautiful house and dapper! Sure it's more pleasant... But it's expensive. Here are 5 household products, replaced by other more economical solutions!

1. With white vinegar I clean my windows

It is important to do the tiles at least once a month. For them to be truly beautiful and transparent, glass products must be used in large quantities. As they are not necessarily effective, we sometimes also use washing-up liquid before, or another trick... the two combined take time and do not save money.

Me, I mix vinegar and water, and voila. I also use it for sinks, floors, fridges, etc...

2. I take salt to clean my carpets

An unstoppable trick is to clean it with salt. Much cheaper than renting a shampooer or buying carpet shampoo. It is also used to clean kitchen utensils, for example.

3. To Clean my Floors I use Black Soap

For what is not carpet, I wash my floors, again, with white vinegar, mixed with lemon for freshness. In addition, vinegar disinfects and degreases thoroughly... but there is also the black soap solution.

4. A Simple Soapy Water to Clean My Walls

I wash my walls from time to time, to keep them clean and beautiful, to preserve the paint that I love. In principle we use Saint-Marc detergent, right? Well, soapy water is more than enough for regular washing.

5. Bicarbonate is used to Clean my Oven and my Linen

An oven gets dirty quickly. Nothing is more expensive in the range of household products than oven cleaning sprays. Whereas with the bicarbonate solution, I make real savings. And I also use baking soda to wash my laundry, and lots of other things (stoves, sinks...) including brushing my teeth!

There would be many other examples, and you may know of some? Give them to me in comments!

Savings Achieved

- With white vinegar instead of glass products and others:savings of 4 to 10€00 per month, i.e. 48 to 120€00 per year (and on comment-economiser.fr we give you lots of white vinegar tips)

- Regarding salt-washed carpets:the purchase of shampoo or the rental of a shampooer costs between 15 and 45€ per year, with salt only 3€00, savings between 12 and 42 €00

- black soap can save you 1€00 per litre of household product

- soapy water instead of Saint-Marc:1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid instead of the famous soluble tablets can save you 20 to 30€00 year-round

- And finally bicarbonate, used for many things, can save you for example for the maintenance of ovens about 90€00 per year.

Total savings over the year with these 5 products:between 182 and 294€00
