Over the last year or so I've been experimenting more and more with homemade cleaning products. Today, I'm sharing my latest creation - homemade DIY wood polish.I have lovely dark wood bannisters which can look quite grubby quite quickly thanks to the kids often grubby hands so they need a regular wipe down and polish to keep them looking as lovely as I want them to.I really love my homemade cleaning spray but for my bannisters, I wanted something that would leave a little bit of a shine on the wood so I tried adding some olive oil to the mix.I had a disaster with the first … [Read more...]
Homemade Toilet Fizzers – the most fun you’ll have cleaning your toilet….
I first made homemade toilet fizzers last year when we had some mix leftover from our homemade bath bombs but I never shared them at the time as they were just a way of using up waste bath bomb mix and I wasn't sure how I'd get along with them but I love them and I've finally got around to making a second batch so I thought I'd share it with you....I love homemade cleaning products for most cleaning in my house - the exceptions are any surfaces where food is prepared or eaten and the toilets.I'm sure you get the first one but just in case, it's because I want to know that my … [Read more...]
Amazing Homemade DIY Shower Spray….
My homemade DIY shower spray is one of my favourite homemade cleaning recipes and considering how often our shower is used, it's one of my most used cleaning products.We have one shower in our house and it's the shower in my en-suite bathroom and whilst I would prefer that the kids (and even the husband) refrained from using my little bathroom, I've had to accept that isn't going to happen anytime soon - unless we have a bathroom redesign in the main bathroom to include a shower but that's not looking likely. ;-)But I do have rules if the kids want to use the shower in my bathroom … [Read more...]
Streak Free Homemade Window Cleaner….
I'm sharing my streak free homemade window cleaner with you today and although it doesn't make window cleaning any more enjoyable, it does smell nice and is cheaper than the shop bought versions.Some of my most popular posts over the last 12 months have been my homemade cleaning spray, my homemade febreze and my lovely smelling homemade room spray so it seems that I'm not the only one who would rather use chemical free products around the home. ;-)Today I thought I'd share with you my streak free homemade window cleaner although I'm going to hold my hands up and admit … [Read more...]
Homemade cleaning spray….
How to make Homemade Cleaning Spray I'm THAT parent who gives their children daily jobs to do around the house and refuses to let them on any electronics until the jobs are done - a fact which doesn't always go down with my two if I'm honest as I know that a lo of their friends don't have to do much at all around the house.One job that they both love doing (I say love, I mean that they hate it less than their other jobs ;-)) is polishing and I have Master Frugal polish the living room sideboard and everything on it every day whilst Miss Frugal has to polish our wooden table every day and … [Read more...]
Homemade essential oils room spray….
A couple of weeks ago I made my own essential oils room spray and I've been loving it but it was in an ugly plastic spray bottle that I found in the back of a cupboard so I was a bit reluctant to show it off!(I know, it's not the way it looks that counts, it's the way it smells but humour me)I did really want to share it with you though because my essential oils room spray has made my house smell lovely and I thought you all might love the fact that it contains no chemicals or toxins as much as I do.Once I figured out that I was an essential oils room spray fan, I figured it … [Read more...]
