Another bit of sensible advice about cleaning your home… you’d be amazed at the power of bog standard washing powder. As well as fabric, it’s brilliant at cleaning all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Do you need to buy an expensive washing powder? Nope. Buy the cheapest own brand packet you can find – it’ll do the job just as well. 

A solution of washing powder is an excellent way to:

  • get rid of dried, burned or stuck-on egg from pots, pans and microwave dishes – just soak them in water with a tablespoon of powder
  • remove stubborn tannin stains from teapots, mugs, cups and teaspoons without scrubbing
  • make seriously nasty grease disappear much more effectively than washing up liquid – again, just soak your pots and pans in water with a tablespoon of powder 
  • clean stainless steel to a shine
  • clean the bath
  • get rid of nasty grease and biological grunge from your plug holes 

As well as being ridiculously cheap, one box lasts forever. Martin Lewis, Money Saving Expert, reckons British families spend up to a massive £1000 a year on cleaning products. Ouch!  Save just half of that and you’ve got enough put by to buy yourself a top quality eco-friendly washing machine. Which will save you even more cash on water and energy too. Use our washing machine discount codes and enjoy huge savings on the best state-of-the-art white goods!
