    Default when fabuloso is a treat...

    man, i love this stuff. i used to buy it all the time, then went into "superfrugal mode" and used dish soap in water to clean/mop everything.

    so fabuloso is like an every three months treat. any fabuloso fans out there?

    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    I only use dish soap and water or water and vinegar to clean the floors and surfaces. I use generic clorox bleach once a month in our shower and I use shampoo the rest of the weeks to clean with. I guess generic clorox bleach is a treat here, because I don't buy any other house hold cleaners .

    I tried it and was not impressed by it. Simple Green works a lot better, IMO. Not sure of the cost comparison, though.

    I don't like fabuloso as much as I like other cleaners. I really dislike the smell more than I dislike the ability to clean.

    my whole house is tile or painted concrete slab. i sweep, tidy, and clean every week , but mop only when it needs it or when i can get to it, like during thankgiving break, xmas break, or spring break, because the entire house needs mopping.

    i have been in superfrugal mode, which means that i have only been able to use what has been on hand (dish soap in bucket of water), not buying anything.

    the bottle of fabuloso was a treat for the christmas break. i love the way it smells. the whole house is mopped and no longer has "housitosis".

    i will buy another bottle spring break.
