Windows washed with warm water and tiny drop of washing up liquid and then buffed with newspaper. The workout also got that thick fleece off me by the time I had cleaned all the downstairs windows and now I can enjoy the view.
Kitchen sink and bathroom and loo cleaned with bicarbonate of soda, an old sponge and some warm water - this costs 39p and lasts for about a month of cleaning and really is the only cleaning substance that I buy.
The week's washing out to blow in the winter air and even though there is very little sun; it's nearly dry and will finish off in the lounge window. I used to have a cleaner at the cost of about £25 a week and used to have a tumble drier a few years ago and cost the planet and my pocket. I'm more aware of the need to exercise and as I'll never be seen in a gym; rigorous housework is a good substitute and I'm very warm after a couple of hours of it. Saving money and looking after the planet does take a few minutes more and a bit of organisation but I have money left at the end of the month and I use a lot less carbon than I used to........which has got to be a positive. House is nice and clean as well and without any chemicals.
