[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 454907, member: 84"] Susie, darn good suggestions per the peroxide and be darned I'm kicking myself for not thinking to do that myself! The squirt bottles for it would be soooo handy in so many ways. I confess, there are some cleaning supplies I won't do without. I'm not a fan of bleach or vinegar, the odors will send me out of a house when they're in use faster than anything else. I only use bleach in Rowdy's kennel as it's outside and in the wide open like that the smell doesn't get to me. But I've gone back to my Mom's old stand by of comet scouring powder, cheap has heck and man does it work. Wish I could use it on the tub, but Awesome works for that so all is good. (darn fiberglass tubs I hate them!) I use half of what they tell me to with laundry soap. I read this article about how really with today's washers you really don't need soap at all cuz the agitator does all the work....soap is as much for smells and germs as dirt. Well, thought I'd give it a shot because that's back when soap was costing me a small fortune before coupons......and guess what? They're right! I use half though, won't go less cuz I want those germs dead. lol Casey made me think of this with the dish soap. My mom pounded it into us it does NOT take a ton of soap to wash dishes. Lots of HOT water, elbow grease and some soap does fine. I never use the cold faucet when washing dishes. I've started washing freezer / storage bags and re-using them. Not ones that go into the microwave or had any spoiled food ect.......damages the plastic. But the others, oh yeah. My Mom showed that one to me not long ago. Oh, and Darrin came up with uses for milk jugs : planters to start and grow herbs. These are very good ladies. :) [/QUOTE]
