Home recipes aren’t just cheaper. They’re also simple, customizable, and often safer for your family (and pets). Having tried a few versions myself, I can say it’s refreshing to spray something you recognize. The shine? Still just as good—if not better.

The Frugal Ones blog covers cleaning supplies in a way that feels honest and practical, which I appreciate. You’ll find clear reviews instead of hype, based on the team’s own trial runs (sometimes with family involved—kids and pets bring out the true test of a product). They break down the basics of what you actually need, skip expensive extras, and focus on ingredients that are safe for health and budget. For anyone with allergies, they don’t just say “hypoallergenic” and move on—they link to ingredient lists and even share their own symptoms (or lack thereof). I like how they use quick bullet points to highlight what stands out. Readers can pick up tips on making homemade cleaners, too, with simple recipes using stuff you probably already have at home. The tone is friendly with a few quips, almost like talking to a friend who happens to be a lab tech or nurse. If you want to save money without risking your lungs or your countertops, their regular roundups and honest stories are worth reading.
