Home Products You Don’t Need to Buy

I get a gazillion emails a day. I usually scan through them super fast, press delete, and move on. This morning, however, I read a headline that intrigued me. It read, “23 Home Products You Don’t Need to Buy”

Home Products You Don't Need to Buy

Here are my favorites:

Scuff remover – To get rid of scuff marks, rub the inside of a banana peel over silverware, leather shoes, and leather furniture. Wipe with a soft cloth. Be sure to test on a small, inconspicuous section first.

Hard water stain remover – We are prone to hard water stains here in FL.  To get rid of lime buildup, make a paste of 1 teaspoon vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt. Apply to sink fixtures and rub with a cloth.

Drain cleaner – Sprinkle 1/4 cup baking soda in the drain, followed by 1 cup vinegar. Let sit for 15 minutes, then flush with a pot of boiling water.

Stainless steel polish – A staple in most garages, WD-40 also works wonders on stainless steel. Just spray and rub with a cloth for a spotless shine.

Washing machine cleaner – Is it bad that I didn’t know you had to clean your washing machine?  Using the warm water setting, fill the basin and add 2 cups of white vinegar. Let stand for an hour, then run the cycle as usual.

Mirror Cleaner – Clean a bathroom mirror with shaving cream (the old-fashioned white kind, not a gel variety), then wipe with a soft cloth. This tip also helps keep the mirror fog-free after showers.

Vase cleaner – I can never get my vases 100% clean.  To get glass vases sparkling clean, fill three-quarters with hot water, add a teaspoon of baking soda and shake. Let stand overnight; rinse.

Weedkiller – Instead of using harsh chemicals, spray vinegar in the cracks of your walkway to get rid of weeds.  I’ve tried this before and it works well!

Grill degreaser – To maintain a clean barbecue grill, sprinkle dry baking soda on a damp brush, scrub, then rinse.  This is for hubby LOLOL

    I spray mirrors and glass surfaces with windex, then use a balled up newspaper to shine them to a beautiful sparkle with no lint!
