Cheaper cleaning supplies

Fewer bottles, simpler products, safely.

4 min read

Most homes can be cleaned with a handful of simple products. Fewer specialized sprays means less spending and less clutter.

A simple kit

  • An all-purpose cleaner or dish soap and water
  • White vinegar for glass and limescale (not on stone counters)
  • Baking soda for scrubbing
  • Microfiber cloths instead of paper towels
  • Store-brand versions of what you already use

Safety first

Never mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia or other cleaners: it can release dangerous gases. Keep homemade mixes labeled and out of children's reach.
