Ever gone and stood in the household cleaning products aisle in your local supermarket? The sheer quantity of all the different products that are available these days is astounding.

So how do you pick which ones will do the job in your house? Do you read the labels to see what the manufacturer claims the product will do?

Do you check what the chemical ingredients are?

Or do you just look for the cheapest option?

Believe me, sometimes the cheapest option can be the most expensive!

A cheap cleaning product is expensive if:

It doesn’t do the job you bought it for,

It doesn’t do the job very well and needs to be done more than once, or

You need to use twice as much (or more) than you would with another product to get the job done.

Kitchen Cleaning Products

In the kitchen, every surface and appliance needs to be cleaned, and in that supermarket, you will find a different product for each and every one.

You will find surface cleaners, spray, and wipes, floor cleaners, oven cleaners, glass cleaners, ceramic tile cleaners, mold removers, cleaners with a disinfectant in them, creme cleaners, stainless steel cleaners, dishwasher cleaners, fridge cleaners, and deodorants, drain cleaners and more.

If you were to buy just one of every type of kitchen cleaner you would be too broke to buy or build the extra cupboard you would need to store them all!

So how do you know which household cleaning products your really need?

Bathroom Cleaning Products

In your bathroom, you probably have a shower alcove, a bath, a toilet, mirrors, and a bathroom cupboard (not to mention the floor and the walls) that will need to be cleaned regularly.

In the bathroom I find that is not necessarily the particular cleaning products that you use that make a difference in how easy or difficult the cleaning job is, it is how you use them but more about that later!

Laundry Cleaning Products

The choice of laundry cleaning product you buy will depend on the particular laundry task (washing wool, removing stains, cleaning the laundry, ironing, etc) and the tools you are using to do it.

For example, do you wash by hand or is your washing machine a top-loader or a front loader?

Do any of your family members have sensitive skin or are they particularly hard (messy) on their clothes?

If you are washing a mechanic’s work clothes you are going to need a different product than if you were washing your delicates!

Upholstery Cleaning Products

Cleaning your upholstery can be tricky depending on the design of your furniture and what the covers are made of.

Carpet Cleaning Products

For carpets, you will find spot cleaners, shampoos, dry shampoos, and deodorants. Some are more effective than others.

Window and Glass Cleaning Products

Hands up to anyone who actually likes cleaning windows!

If you have got your hand up, I have got a ton of windows here that you can clean anytime you like…

Learning how to wash clothes is an important step if you ever want to be really independent.

Taking the washing home to mum is all well and good, but believe me, once you and all of your siblings have left home, it won’t be long before your mother finds new and more exciting ways to spend her time!

Collecting and Sorting Your Laundry

Before you get started to check through the house or apartment and find all of the items that need to be washed.

This will include any dirty clothes, bed sheets, bath towels, hand towels, tea towels etc.

Don’t forget to check under the bed and inside your shoes (a couple of my kids had a bad habit of putting their dirty socks inside their shoes!)

Once you have gathered up all the washing, you need to sort them into piles. Each pile will be a separate load (particularly if you are machine washing). Most of your items should fit into one of these categories:

1. Lights and whites
2. Delicates
3. Towels
4. Brights and colours

If you are not sure which pile to put an item in, check the label on the garment. It should give you an idea of which method of washing you should use for that particular item.

Washing by Hand

You might find that the best way to wash woollens or delicates is by hand. The instructions on how to wash wool can also be used for washing your delicates by hand.

Washing in a Machine

Each pile should be a separate load in your washing machine.

If you are not sure which cycle to use for a particular load, see if you can find the booklet that came with the washing machine. Most manufacturers will provide a guide as to which cycle is the most appropriate for different types of loads.

Some of the major manufacturers include a guide on how to wash clothes in their machines, so it is well worth a look.

You can check online for a copy of the washing machines manual if you can’t find your copy – it is amazing what you can find online these days!

Some how to wash clothes ‘don’ts’:

Don’t wash your towels and sheets together, unless you don’t mind fluff all over your sheets and you don’t mind ironing them!

Don’t wash new brightly coloured items with lights or whites, unless you don’t mind your white business shirt coming out of the wash a motley pink (or blue or green) colour!

Don’t wash wool garment or delicates in with the rest of the wash, unless you like your wool jumpers with a felted look and your delicates with lovely holes or tears in them!

Don’t overload the machine. You want enough room in the machine for the clothing to agitate properly if you want the clothes to come out cleaner than when they went in!

Drying Your Clothes

If at all possible, dry your laundry outside in the sun particularly if you have used a laundry detergent or soaker that has an oxygenated bleach.

The sunlight activates the bleach and as a result, your laundry will come off the clothesline cleaner and fresher than they would if you just threw them in the dryer.

If you are worried about your laundry feeling stiff when they come off the clothesline (can happen with towels and other cotton or linen items) you can fix this by finishing them off in the dryer for 10 minutes or so.

Last Step – Fold and Put Away

The last step in how to wash clothes is to fold your laundry and to put it all away. I find it is best to do this as your garments come out of the dryer or off the line. If you leave them in the laundry basket, they will become crinkled and in all likelihood, they will require ironing.

For those items that are going to need to be ironed anyway (although why you would buy garments that need ironing in the first place is a good question to ask yourself), put them on a hanger until you can get the iron out. Hanging them will help to reduce the amount of crinkling and creases that you have to deal with.
