HOMEMAKERS are finding it easy to spend a lot of money on the new and improved cleaning products available on the market today. Did you ever stop to think about what the homemaker used before all of the new products were developed? By making use of three basic cleaners the homemaker could keep her home clean at a low cost. Baking soda, household ammonia and vinegar can reduce the need to buy speciality cleaners such as window and oven cleaners. Miss Woodward, Extension Specialist, Home Management, estimated that at the cost of about 2C for two tablespoons of soda for each quart of water you could clean wall tHe, porcelain enamel or glass. It can remove coffee stains from china and plastic dishes. When carefully used, it can clean and deodorize the inside of your refrigerator. Cost-wise, household ammonia costs less than 1C for a tablespoon in each quart of water. The amount needed for oven cleaning, about a half a cup, costs about four cents. Care must be taken when using household ammonia because it can burn the skin and eyes if not used properly. Read and follow the directions on the lat»ej. Vinegar, a mild cleaner, will help to remove hard water deposits from glassware, darkened aluminum pots and pans. It also makes a good window cleaner. The next time you happen to run out of your special cleaners, try some of these old basics and save some of Your household money. □
