Of course you don't need them all! Some are time-saving, but buying so many products is hardly economical—we'll show you other cleaning methods that avoid buying a special product that does only one job. However, every home should have a basic cleaning kit . All the homes we visited contained cleaning materials —they just weren't being used. Their purchase was a sign of the best intentions, but then they had been buried at the back of a cupboard—often covered in grease or dust! Name a product and you can be sure that we have tried it.
