What are ways that you make household items last longer like shampoo, lotion, toilet paper,makeup or hair styling items?
As common household items are going up in cost, I am trying to think of innovative ways to make them last longer to reduce costs. I make alot of my household cleaners with vinegar,peroxide, rubbing alcohol and dawn. They work, are easy on the environment and non toxic. Also, I cut open plastic bottles to get all of toiletries and use mini spatulas.
I only wash my hair twice a week as it is long,dry and curly. In addition, I wet my hair, then use some apple cider vinegar on my hair to get rid of hair product residue and reduce number of times to shampoo each time.
And I have experimented with amount of laundry detergent to use to 2 tablespoons and a tablespoon of dishwashing detergent for each load.
