Best Cleaning Products for Under $2
Written by Eric O. Carter
If your family is on a tight budget, or you just want to save on cleansers – there are plenty of good one's you can purchase on a price under two dollars. And do not think that cheaper products are worse than the pricey ones – no, they are not. As a matter of fact they are just the same, although on a less-expensive price. Here is the deal – some companies raise the prices of their products sky-high, mostly because of the expensive advertising campaigns and high-quality wrapping materials. Never the less, there are always the good old green-cleaners, which can be afforded by anyone.
1. White vinegar is the first cheap item we are going to discuss. White vinegar is a popular seasoning but it works great as a cleaner, because of the acetic acid it contains. With vinegar you can easily remove stains, clean carpets, tiles or flossy surfaces such as glass coffee tables or polished cupboards and tables. The process is easy, just don't forget to dilute the vinegar with water as it may damage the surface you are cleaning. Pour some vinegar on a clean cloth or rag, and use it to clean whatever it is you are cleaning. If its a stain you want to remove – pour some vinegar on it and let it sit for a while. Wash away with pure water and you're done.
2. A second green-cleaner you can use is baking soda. Baking soda works as a cleaner and in the same time as an odor remover, so you can be sure that whatever you are cleaning will not only be cleaned, but it will be free of any nasty odor. Baking soda is easy to use – if its a stain we are talking about – blot it with water and sprinkle enough baking soda to cover it, if you are cleaning something from a hard material such as metal – make a thick paste from baking soda and water and use it to brush off the dirt.
3. You can use lemon juice and salt with the same effect as vinegar and baking soda. The lemon fruit also contains acids and it also gives a nice lemon scent when you use it. It's great for dish washing and removing stains, but it is also a great polisher. Salt is maybe the best natural stain remover there is. It works best on fresh stains, but if you blot a dry stain with water and sprinkle salt on it the effect will be good as well.
Many people leave the cleaning chores to qualified cleaning Richmond companies, and don't realize how much money they spend on that. Cleaning is a task on which you can save a lot, if you take a smart approach.
