So this makes me think... if kool-aid is cleaning a toilet can you imagine what it's doing to the insides of our bellies upon consumption.  Same goes for ketchup and salt.  Thanks for the tips - it's interesting enough for me to click on the link to watch the video.  Good thing I've got some time on my hands this morning - these tips could end up saving me time and money someday too.  Thanks.

So instead of of cleaning products, you now have to buy extra ketchup, beer, kool-aid, & potatoes... and a lint brush.

Vinegar & Water is pretty good for all cleaning as well, I'm surprised that it isn't mentioned... cheap & easy.

Thanks for putting up the information, I'm going to check out the site & see what other helpful tricks are pointed out :)

  :clover:      :peace:     :clover:   I think that some of these kinds of foods might clean your place. For me it's the thought of using some of them in places that I wouldn't think of. Stuck on food, just seems a bit NAH for me. I'd rather buy cleaning products. Thanks though.   :clover:    :peace:    :clover:

You forgot coke.   NO NO NO, the only thing that get rid of germ bugs maybe not all stains but dirt, is boiling hot water, and the smell of this is extremely gr8.

I didn't read all of your post but you have to use other products that you have to buy so why not just purchase the cleaning stuff.

    Cleaning products: Do not buy them because they are expensive, contain dangerous chemicals and sometimes, they do not even work well. And, yes! There are other alternatives..to save time and money.
