Homemade Windex for living cheap

Thanks!

Love the blue food coloring ~ I bet you didn't even tell the old lady and your pouring it in the Windex bottle!

Most cleaning products use one of the two secret ingredients: Bleach, or Ammonia. You can tell which one by reading the label or by smelling it (be careful). So that's pretty much it, buy a bottle of bleach, and a bottle of ammonia. The other secret ingredient is normally water.

Hey look, a sparkly white van just pulled up out front. Oops! Gotta log off! The cleaning product company goons are coming for me!

I use fabric softener sheets to deodorize my home. Crimp up a corner, stick it in a small spot in a fan front, turn on, and blow. It lasts for a couple of days.

When the scent is almost gone, and time to put new ones in, use the old ones to dust the furniture.

Bathroom tile, especially in the tub - after cleaning, use furniture polish above the tub up the tile walls. Water sheets off, and they sparkle.

Are there gaps at the front door ? Roll paper towels and stuff. Saves on the utilities.

Bring your refrigerator temp down to medium or a little less if you can. Saves a lot on utilities.

tastes awful

You have to eat it with ranch dressing silly... lol

Utility savings were my specialty:

Turn down T-stat and/or install a programmable and USE it.

Lower water heater temp to 110 degrees.

Add insulation to attic ~ 30% of heat loss/gain is through ceiling.

Install compact fluorescent lamps for lamps with heavy usage.

Weather strip all windows and doors.

Use drapes for windows to slow heat loss in hottest & coldest months.

Unplug un-used appliances and wall-warts (transformers)

Use ceiling fans, clock-wise in winter, counter-clockwise in summer.


Texas U ~ Why not make a door sock? Take a long sock or stocking and fill it with rice or grits and knot it off! Boom ~ a re-useable door sock to block the draft and you can use the paper towels! You could also tape or tack it to the door so it is automatic.

Is that safe? I've read if you lower your tank temp too much, germs and other things can start growing in there.

Love the door sock idea, thanks!

or instead of buying all that shit you shell out $2 for a bottle of windex that will last you for months.

for the 1st time in my life i'm now seeing white people taking ANY job, even working at real low wages , some of you here know what i'm talking about , before they would snubb people like that and THINK they WAS better, but in todays world white people would shovel shit to make a buck now

Lemon Juice and crumpled newspaper.

Your spelling and grammar is not improving...

Yes thank you! Will have to give this a try:)

Use apple cidar vinegar with water, for cleaning almost anything. Plus it is great for you to be absorbing into your skin.

Then go out and get a real bottle of Windex after you fucked your windows over .

Dajavoo, good tip. I do have rolled old towels, tied off at ends that I use at the door bottoms.

We have a west facing balcony that takes a lot of sun, really was heating up the living room. I put up trellis, lined it with thick dark screen. Then I put up white outdoor shades, and velcroed those windshield protectors shiny side against the shades.
It dropped the temp out there about 10 degrees. I followed inside with windshield protectors under the curtains. Again, helped cool the living room.

The room with a west window got similar treatment, including plastic taped all around. I'm putting thin sheets of white starfoam board there now. It should knock down the temp in that room.

The walls heat up too, so I'm seeking a solution for that.

almost forgot. We changed out all bulbs to the new type. Plus, in the bathroom, I put up a battery operated light.
No need to flip the switch for a one minute trip. changed out the night light in the dark hallway to a sound sensor type.

All of the things together amounted to about $25.00 savings during the winter. It should help even more in the summer.

Check these out. I'm thinking about trying a couple of sets of these. Has anyone here used them ?
