How to Save Money on Household Goods
- 1). Wash your bedsheets weekly. Bedsheets accumulate germs and your body's natural oils. Regardless of the bedsheets' quality, weekly washing reduces the exposure to germs that can make you sick. Use a dye-free detergent, as it is gentle on the sheets and hypoallergenic.
- 2). Dust and polish your furniture monthly. Dust settles on your wood furniture and creates a dull appearance. Weekly dusting and monthly polishing maintains the furniture's natural shine.
- 3). Wash your cookware and silverware the same night after using them. Waiting to wash dishes allows you to focus your attention on more enjoyable activities but slowly wears away at the finish of your cooking utensils, as food cakes onto the surface of the kitchenware.
- 4). Avoid cheaply priced goods. The allure of a discount can be hard to ignore but cheaply priced goods might be of questionable quality and might require frequent replacing.
- 5). Choose function over form. Items that are useful and sturdy retain more value than flashy and expensive items.
