I have been searching for weeks at the supermarket for a few things like washing soda and pure soap and borax and of couse they are located either right up the top or right down the bottom of shelves!

I've stocked up on bi-carb and more vinegar. I have my essential oils: lemon, lavender, cloves, eucaliptus, tea-tree.

I've just grated a bar of pure soap and tomorrow I'll make a washing powder and give it all a go.

I'm happy with the way all the things I now have are multipurpose and so cheap. Rather than having a whole heap of products that can only do one thing, I now have a small handful of products that mixed in various ways will clean the whole house!

Best part of all, I know exactly what is in my cleaners!
