How do I save money on cleaning products?

Under cleaning supplies, I’ve put Awesome it is a great cheap all-purpose cleaner. My mother told me about it years ago. I have a spray bottle in each of my bathrooms, the kitchen, laundry room and one at my office. Get your spray bottles here or if you can’t find it at your grocery store.

In the kitchen, it is great for getting ice tea stains out of my plastic pitcher. At my office, it is the best stain remover for preventing stains in my carpet when a client spills their tea or coffee. In the laundry room, I use it for removing stains from my clothes, because light colors are not a good choice for me, but I get tired of black and navy. In the bathroom, it is fantastic for cleaning sinks, bathtub, and mirrors.

There are directions on the bottle that tell you how much to dilute it for each different kind of cleaner. It is the best stain remover I have ever used.
