Ovenpride vs. Oven cleaner
Oven cleaning is one of the most dreaded chores when it comes to blitzing the kitchen.
Cleaning the oven can seem like a complex task. You can choose to do it by using the single-use all-in-one deep cleaning product Oven Pride product or if it’s a bigger hassle than you thought then perhaps using a professional oven cleaning company is a better choice.
But how can you decide which would be easier for you? When it comes down to what you get for a better price, well you can get the Oven Pride for £4.00 at Tesco and other grocery and discount stores.
To get the best results when using Oven Pride to clean your oven, we would recommend leaving the product to work for at least 4 hours.
If it’s convenient, leaving it overnight …

Three cool windows and outdoor cleaning products
I have decided to do my own cleaning and that will save me a massive £2k per year! Here are three of my favourite items at the moment.
Window cleaning
I love the Minky glass and window cleaning cloth. For £2.99 in store or £3 online from Morrisons or other supermarkets, it is amazing. It has loads of extra microfibres so you don’t need chemicals. If you can’t get hold of it, for a sustainable window cleaner guaranteed to leave your windows sparkling, add 120ml of rubbing alcohol (70% concentration), 240ml of water, 120ml of white or cider vinegar and 1-2 drops of orange essential oil to a spray bottle. As well as being friendly to your home and the environment, the cleaner can be made in bulk, making it easier and quicker to get …

Dirtiest time of the year? Save on keeping clothes clean
Muddy rugby or football kit as the season kicks off, Halloween, Bonfire Night, walks in the rain and mud, Christmas and New Year all in the space of a few months, means that stains are inevitable.
While I do try to cover stains, it’s a pain, so I have over 10 school shirts for the boys, two pairs of trousers each and enough clothes so that they don’t have to rely on me washing stuff every day…but that doesn’t stop me getting a little bit mad when the pile of stained clothes gets bigger.
I did a little test recently and compared stain remover and detergent boosters Vanish to ACE Gentle and they both did the same job. As ACE Gentle is significantly cheaper, I asked the guys at ACE Gentle to share some advice …

Timpsons helps out jobless with clean suits
Timpson is still offering to dry clean suits for unemployed people for nothing. This is an awesome idea as suit cleaning is around £10, which is a lot if you only get just over £50 job seekers allowance.
I normally head to Timpsons for key-cutting and shoe repairs, but was reminded of their offer as I headed into town a couple of days ago. They had a sandwich board up outside saying: “If you are unemployed and need an outfit cleaned for an interview, we will clean it for free.”
The offer has been around since January 2015, but a friend whose hubby is unemployed didn’t know about it, so I want to remind you all about it again.
Timpson, which started in Manchester in 1865 and now has 1,395 stores around the UK, is …

Value cleaning products
I HATE cleaning but must admit that my house isn’t dirty. The luxury of a lady who does for me two hours a week is a major factor in this.
She really is a luxury for me, but I figure that she’s equivalent to the price of five fancy coffees a week. As I don’t drink coffee or buy my lunch at sandwich shops or coffee shops, she is my treat and IMHO a bargain for me.
Unfortunately, two hours a week isn’t enough to keep my abode spic and span, so I am always looking for good value cleaning products. I tried HOME2HOME and have still not finished the hand wash or cleaner that I bought in 5 litre bottles a year back, so the price was definitely right. They don’t sell everything I …

Cleaning supplies and toiletries in wholesale sizes and prices delivered to your door
Now as well as a bargain, I love convenience, so when I found the HOME2HOME service on Facebook, I thought I’d give it a try.
Basically, it’s a closed group that provides “quality professional cleaning and toiletry products in wholesale sizes at household prices delivered free to your door.”
I am based in the Midlands, and I think that this group (currently with 2,400 members) may only deliver to the wider Midlands region, but there must be others like it around the country.
Anyway, you have to ask to join the group and once accepted, you will get their offers in your feed of cheap cleaning supplies and toiletries, and they will also send you a price list of items they have available at the time. These items range from shampoo, washing powder to stain …
