I’m a cleaning whizz – three common products you need to ditch to save cash & the free hacks that clean just as good

CLEANING products can be pretty expensive, especially when you need a different one for every part of your home.

That’s why cleaning whizz Caroline Solomon shared some of the products you can ditch to save some money.

She explained on her TikTok account (@neat.caroline) what you can use instead to keep your home sparkling clean without the hefty price tag.

First up, any kind of specific window cleaning sprays are totally unnecessary, according Caroline.

You can use a white vinegar from your kitchen cupboards to make a handy spray which works just as well.

Mix equal parts with water before spritzing onto windows and mirrors and use a microfibre cloth, kitchen roll or even newspaper to wipe.

Anything stainless steel can be cleaned with an equal mix of rubbing alcohol and water, rather than expensive products.

The cleaning whizz showed how effectively the DIY spray works of fridges and ovens.

As for multi-purpose cleaners for different surfaces – you don’t need to fork out them those either.

Caroline said: “Use a spray made out of 1 tsp of dish soap and two cups of water.”

The dish soap will work just as well as generic sprays but you’ll probably already have dish soap in your kitchen, meaning you don’t have to fill up your cleaning cupboard with yet another bottle.

Fellow cleaning fans loved Caroline’s alternatives and were excited to try them out.

One person commented: “Awesome, thanks going to try these I think”

And a second said: “Exactly what I do!”

“You are right, but I hate the smell of vinegar,” someone else wrote.
