I don’t necessarily see housework as drudgery, but I’m not always in the mood to do it. Rainy days, especially, put me in the nesting mood. I just need more of those! LOL! I loved your post!

I’m not a very good homemaker! I’m all for an easy life and I am very ashamed that I’m using all these chemicals! #FridayFrivolity

Yes, it sure brings back memories of an easier time. Things were so much simpler then when we used just a few things instead of run to the store.

Hi Tracy, back again! I must really crave your tips, because until I saw my name, I’d forgotten I’d commented, much less read this!!
I love that your Bible is well worn! Mine is too, and I keep it by my recliner in the living room.

In reply to Carol. You're right. I once ruined a toilet with bleach. Now I only use vinegar.

In reply to Melanie. It is crazy what marketing makes us believe! I use only a couple things to keep my whole house clean and save so much money in the process. I have never used Bon Amie...I will have to look for it and give it a try.

Great tips! The companies that produce cleaning products have been smart in their marketing so it seems you need to buy specific products to accomplish just one task, and it’s both overwhelming and expensive! I love that these tips go back to the basics, where a few simple products cover a multitude of jobs! One product I do use (and love!) is Bon Amie. It’s an all-purpose powder cleaner that uses just a few ingredients and has been around since the late 1800’s. It can be a little hard to find (the big box stores don’t usually carry it), but I can get it at my mom & pop hardware store, and they do sell online. It’s really cheap too!

I love these old fashioned tips and tricks! It just goes to show that new is not always better. I have gone back to a lot of the old cleaners over the last year or so myself, and I am loving it! Thanks for sharing these… PINNED! 🙂
