A penny saved is a penny earned...

Money saving tip #5: Make your own cleaning solution

I use white vinegar and water to clean counter tops and tables. It also adds a nice shine to the stainless steel faucets. Do you have a mess in your microwave? Easy! Just add 2 tablespoons lemon juice or baking soda (Using lemon juice leaves a nice fresh scent!) to 1 cup bowl of water and place in your microwave. Heat on high until the mixture boils, then let it boil for 5 minutes so that the steam accumulates on the walls and door of the oven. Remove the bowl and wipe down the interior. Do you hate dusting? Save those used dryer sheets! They work really well on your electronics. The static electricity will repel the dust so you won't have to dust as often. They also work well on blinds.

If you have any money saving tips about cleaning (or anything else!), send them my way. Others might like to read them too!
