I've been making homemade toilet bombs for years now and seeing as I've just made a batch today, I thought I'd share how I make them.I love homemade cleaning recipes and I think these little toilet bombs were actually my first little DIY cleaning project. They worked really well so I often make a batch to keep in the main bathroom - especially since I discovered that Wilko do boxes of citric acid and baking soda quite cheaply! I used to buy Citric Acid from Amazon which usually cost more than double the boxes I can get in Wilko.There's a couple of reasons I like these … [Read more...]

Homemade Wood Polish to make your home shine….
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...]

Now that we're officially into Spring here in the UK, there's a nagging little voice inside me that's telling me that it's time for my annual Spring clean!I have a two proper thorough deep cleans every year - the first is around this time of year in Spring when the sun starts to shine on a regular basis and the second is usually at some point in November in time for the Christmas decorations going up in December.Obviously I do clean regularly in between but these are proper deep cleans where I set aside a weekend, enlist help from everyone in my family and go through the house … [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...]
Homemade Shake n Vac….
Today I'm going all nostalgic on you and sharing some TV ads from my youth which I bet lots of you of a certain age will remember just as well as I do. The reason I'm sharing them is that I've made a batch of my own homemade Shake n Vac and the whole time I was making and using it, I couldn't help but sing the song.In fact, aside from the milky way advert with the two cars racing each other, the only other advert I can remember from when I was growing up is the Glade Shake n Vac one. They're both songs that remind me of watching TV with my Mam and Dad and always make me smile for that … [Read more...]
What you need in your Frugal Cleaning Kit….
These days there's product upon product stacked on the supermarket shelves promising to give make your home sparkle and shine, but do you really need them?I definitely don't think you do although there are a few that I buy - Domestos bleach and Fairy Liquid are the two main ones that I can think of. Domestos because my Mam always used to say that the only bleach she would buy was Domestos and it's in my head now even though I know you can probably get cheaper bleach that's just as effective. I have tried a couple of times but always gone back to Domestos.Domestos because my Mam … [Read more...]
