There is no need to buy expensive products that only serve one purpose. Rather, go for common, old-school household staples that can do multiple jobs and cost a lot less. All you actually need is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Aluminium foil<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be used to help speed up ironing by placing a layer of foil under your ironing board cover. Or scrunch up old aluminium foil and use it to scrub off tough stains from your pots and pans.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Talcum powder<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be used to repel ants when sprinkled on window sills, or can be brushed into your hair as a dry shampoo.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Toothpaste<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be used to clean jewellery and chrome, remove scuffs from leather shoes and even give your piano keys a shine. A thin layer of non-gel toothpaste will also stop your bathroom mirror from fogging up. The same can be done for your glasses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Lemon or baking soda<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are effective odour removers. A lemon rind at the bottom of your dustbin can help get rid of the odours. Or make your own natural air freshener by placing baking soda in a jar mixed with essential oils. Cover with a cloth and secure it with an elastic band.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Milton<\/b>, which is more commonly known as a sterilising product for baby\u2019s bottles, can be used in over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milton-tm.com\/en\/consumer\/100-uses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">100 different ways<\/a> including: Disinfecting and cleaning the inside of your fridge and your kitchen counters; removing the build-up of mould and mildew on bathroom basin tops and cupboards; and purifying water before drinking \u2013 a must for camping trips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life is getting more and more expensive, which makes cutting down monthly costs to make your budget stretch a little further just about impossible.
