Make it yourself cleansers
Are you tired of paying way too much for cleaning products? How about making them yourself. These cleaners, not only are very inexpensive to make, but they work great. They also don’t have the chemicals that most store bought cleaners have. It is always best to test these out on a small inconspicuous spot first. Have fun!
Caution: Never mix bleach and ammonia products. They will produce toxic fumes.

Laundry Tips
This is one job that the whole family can be involved in. Younger children can be responsible for gathering their own dirty laundry. As they get older, they can gather, sort, and deposit the laundry in the laundry room. Teenagers can be responsible for actually washing their own clothes. This includes teenage boys. They may not like it and even fight it, but it is possible. Your future daughter-in-law will thank you after “you” tell them they are trained in the art of washing clothes.
White Socks
- Soak them in boiling water with a slice of lemon, then wash as usual. The socks will be white again.
