Price Comparisons and Other Essential Tips
It may sound strange to have to clean up your cleaning products but for many of us, it is a long overdue task which, when done, will simplify your cleaning routine as well as saving time, money and possibly the environment along the way. The following are 5 tips to keep your cleaning products in order and keep the cost down. Don’t forget to use mySupermarket to conduct Tesco price comparisons on all your cleaning products and check out Tesco Offers to make sure you are getting the best deal possible.
1. Fit it all into one bucket!
As a rule of thumb, try to cull your cleaning products so that they all fit in one bucket (and a smaller budget!). This way, you can carry
that one bucket around the house, saving multiple trips – and you will notice that you can often achieve the same cleaning result in a
much shorter amount of time. You will be amazed at the small number of items you actually need to buy.
2. Downshift to Own Brand products
When it comes to cleaning products, Own Brands often do just as good a job as brand names – sometimes even better. Consider taking the Martin Lewis downshift challenge and using mySupermarket to swap to the Own Brand equivalent for most of your cleaning products next time you shop. You will often see a significant difference in the cost when you do Tesco price comparisons and choose the own brand cleaning options.
3. Use natural or homemade products where possible
In order to avoid products which are harmful to the environment and your home, try to pick products which don’t have “Warning” or “Poison” labels on them – rather go for those labelled with “Caution” as they often contain safer chemical levels. Another option which will help you save costs is to make your own cleaning products – baking soda, lemon and white vinegar are often great cleaning agents when combined with water.
4. Pick all-purpose cleaners
Instead of using a separate cleaning agent for each surface in your house, try buying multi-purpose cleaning sprays. Check out the Tesco Multi-Purpose Cleaner shelf and do Tesco price comparisons on your selections to keep your costs down. If you want to simplify even further, consider using window cleaner or dishwashing liquid to take care of your cleaning – both products cut through most oil and grease and are effective on many surfaces.

5. Choose products which are long lasting and re-usable.
Select long life mops and cloths which can be used for all areas of the house and don’t need frequent replacing.
Tesco sells Extra Life Kitchen Gloves which is an example of a durable, cost effective option. Many cloth products available
on shelves now are made from organic products which will also help you achieve a “greener” cleaning cupboard – for
e.g. Tesco Organic Naturally Cotton dishcloths.
