Eggshells As Bottle And Vase Cleaners

Members Were Sparked

Here’s an idea for all those eggs you hard-boiled: Use their broken eggshells to clean the hard-to-reach places in bottles and vases. Drop some crushed shells in the bottle, add warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid, and give it a good swirl. The shells will scrape off the gunk you can’t get to, so you can save your elbow grease for the dinner dishes.

Cleaning Up

More Bottles of Cleaners

MORE INFORMATION:
I know this sounds lazy, but I find that if each bathroom and the kitchen have the cleaning supplies stored there (each room has a cleaning "kit") I will actually clean up rather than keeping all the bottles in one central place where I have to go and grab if there is a mess.

Dilute your own multi surface cleaner

Most spray bottle cleaners are about $3+ per bottle. You can save money by diluting your own. One gallon of Lysol, diluted properly, will yield 25 bottles of cleaner for only $6.00. That's a savings of $69!!

MORE INFORMATION:
Concentated Lysol is about $6.00 a gallon at Sam's or Costco. There are directions on the label on how to dilute it to make a multi purpose spray. This $6 gallon of cleaner, once properly diluted, will fill your spray bottle about 25 times over.
