To save money? I ask this because I am going to start doing this myself as I start running our of cleaning products. This in turn will help me save money. I also have a couple of books with hint & tips of what I can use to clean just about anything. If you would like some tips on how to do this, please pm me.

Some things, I make my own stuff to kill bugs too, garden pests (usually natural ingredients, like garlic cloves in water and pouring the water over the broken earth for junebug grubs).
Alot of stuff I use to clean is very basic. Regular soap, baking soda, vinegar, and water. It's all I usually need.
I prefer not to spend money on things that I can do myself with stuff I already have on hand.

I use the standard cleaners that I can get for free. I also use vinegar, baking soda and things like that. It all depends on the job to be done. I also use salt when things need a good scrubbing. These are all items I keep on hand and stock up on when the price is right.

I stopped using commercial cleaners some time ago. Vinegar, baking soda, salt and lemon juice cleans everything!

I agree, there are soooo many uses for these simple items - I have made a couple of squidoo lenses about these :)

It does save you alot of money....most of the cleaning products that you can make yourself consist of vinegar & baking soda - they are alot cleaper than buying different products as these can be used for heaps of different things.
