On perusing down the categories via the Dooyoo Community Page I noted a 'General House/Tips and Hints' section...Hmm, 'Excellent' I thought, I can write about that - but perhaps in a more specialised way taking into account of being a very proud homeowner outright (no mortgage, ahhh bliss!); plus dealing with the difficulties of trying to keep my place spick and span whilst being both short of cash and having a permanent disability.

There are a huge number of products available on the market to help keep your house nice and clean and many make some pretty impressive claims however the reality is often very different to what the advertisers would have you believe and often you can find yourself wasting money on new products that fail to deliver what they promise to on the label or in the adverts, Cilit Bang products tend to spring to mind when I think of examples.
