Cluttered under sink cupboard

What is salts of lemon?

To me it is strange that all you British women are still using bleach, as here we have been begged to restrict its use as much as possible on account of the environment.

Probably no cleaning agents are good for us or the environment, but then neither is dirt!

Washing-up liquid is better only used on synthetic surfaces, wooden floors, tiles and so on should be washed in soft soap and rinsed if we are talking tiles that tend to become slippy in clean water.

Never combine bleach (chlorine) with washing-up liquid or toilet cleaners. You can make very good explosives that way!

If you have things in the undersink cupboard that you have not used in over a year, you don't need them, do you? So recycle responsibly and buy one or two cleaning agents instead.

I have soft soap, soda, salts of lemon (used only for getting limscale off the toilet bowls) washing up liquid and scouring paste in my cupboard, and have never needed anything else.

Under sink cupboards are filled with in kitchen and boot room. Compulsive shopping husband stocks here too. Overflow is in a shed.
Wouldn’t mind but he doesn’t do cleaning.
At one point had at least six bottles of bleach. They have disappeared now goodness knows where. I seldom use bleach

Bleach only has a shelf life of 6-12 months. I only found that out recently because my partner is always buying it. What I do find, though, is that if the kitchen is smelling rather oniony after I’ve been cooking a bowl of bleach seems to neutralise the smell. I do use a lot of Milton for eg dishcloths and toothbrushes.

My pet hate is the current fashion to make everything smell like chemical additives - scented candles, plug-in air "fresheners", fabric "conditioners", spray air fresheners, bits of chemical-impregnated tissue for tumble drying, carpet granules, laundry liquid with stink-bombs floating in it.... Advertisers will cheerfully present the consumer with a problem which doesn't exist, then show you a miracle product to solve it. How many more decades are we going to fall for it?

Making people think their clothes still smell after they’ve been washed! If people worry about their clothes being washed on a low temperature use laundry sanitiser. It’s inadequate airing that makes clothes smelly.

I’ve just seen some mixed reviews for it on Facebook but I’m impressed with what I’ve used it for thus far eg I sprayed some moss covered plant pots yesterday and they’ve come up really clean. Use a lot of mozzarella cheese in cooking and it solidifies on everything but the Blue Magic softens it.

MayBee I wrote my post before I saw yours. Snap. xx

Blue Magic. They sell it on ShoponTV. I use it on most surfaces although I have Cif for my shower base and bleach in the loo. You can put 20ml or 40ml in a spray bottle with water.
I had a water stain on my upvc white window inside from building work. I tried all sorts to get it off to no avail but sprayed with Blue Magic and left it for 10 mins and it came straight off. It's good stuff.

I recently ought a cleaner called Blue Magic. I saw it on one of those late night shopping channels but purchased it off Amazon. You can use it for just about everything but use different dilutions for different jobs. It’s food safe, not perfumed etc etc.I’m hoping to just use that when I’ve used up all the other cleaners I’ve got. I’m always buying new things in the hope that my life will be more organised although I do try to use environmentally friendly things wherever possible. It is even supposed to kill moss without killing the grass. I do use washing up liquid for lots of things, especially cleaning the bath, as a tiny amount gets it really clean.

Flash, bleach and cif for me

How about putting the unwanted ones on Olio? Somebody might find something useful.

multisurface cleaner and CIF for all cleaning, WU liquid and bleach in the kitchen.

I have white vinegar, washing up liquid and bleach, seems to be ok for everything.

Dont buy anything new until it has all been used.

Washing up liquid and a splash of bleach is all I’ve used for years.
The companies making these cleaning products have been laughing at the public for years.

You make a good point twopenceI have a huge array of cleaning products under my sink and in the shed as well.. 75% have only been used a few times and the bottle and sprays are almost full. I need to rid myself of them, but I feel it's a waste to throw them out. I know I can't take used items to a food bank but does anyone now anywhere else that could use these items..

Bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar….🤓
