Just because they are just cleaning supplies doesn t mean they are not luxuries. You need them in your everyday struggles with house chaos. Still, there are a lot janitorial supplies that cost more than the usual pricing. Now, here s how to stretch your money by stretching your janitorial cleaning supplies and replace some with very low cost alternatives
•Buy hand soaps in those dispensers with soap dispensed in foamy suds. Buy a large refill bottle of hand soap which will save you money right off the bat. When the dispensers are empty, fill them only one third of the way with the refill soap and fill the rest with water. Shake gently to mix and pump a few times to get the foam from flowing. This way, you can also save water while you don t have it running to make lather.
•Purchase cleaning concentrates for both all purpose cleaner and germicide concentrates. Try mixing just a half teaspoon with 16 ounces of water for basic cleaner, and use a little less concentrate for glass cleaner. The germicide is cleaner and has anti bacterial properties. Buy good spray bottles, mix up your solutions, and label them clearly.
•Get cloth diapers for cleaning cloths as they are lint free, very cheap, and you ll save a lot on paper towels. Just toss in the laundry when you re done cleaning. Also use a diaper on one of those fancy mops; tuck it around the mop head and sprits with a little cleaner or plain water to give the floor a quick wipe or dusting. You have no more reasons to buy those boxes of mop cloth refills which can make you spend a lot.
•Don t bother at all with buying fabric softeners. You will notice your towels are getting less absorbent. Since most of our clothing is cotton, which doesn t usually get static, you can try it out. Polyester fabrics might get static but just sprits it with a bit of water and you’re ready to go cleaning.
•Generic shampoo gets your hair as clean as the brand name does. If you must have your branded name hair product and spend the money on the conditioner, some of which actually remains on your hair.
•Generic baby wipes in your car makes it easy clean up especially on your sticky hands. You can also use them to wipe down your dusty dashboard. Check the unit price and buy the cheapest you can.
•Always keep a dish towel next to the kitchen sink, and hide the paper towels under the sink. In this way, you can save a ton of paper towels if they are on the counter because everyone uses them to dry their hands without thinking twice.
There are a lot of cheaper janitorial supplies out there. Most of them are generic which are affordable yet doesn’t interfere with the cleaning quality. In this era where economic crisis is prominent, be sure to always purchase and utilize the cheaper ones as they give you the same cleaning results as those expensive ones.
