By using hand towels and small sized bath towels when you have children you are still able to change them often but don’t have as many loads to do because you can fit more of them into the machine. After a shower or bath you can hang all the wet towels (not dirty ones!) on […]
I bought a spray bottle from a dollar store and put in just a little bit of cream cleanser – with a good shake it is ideal for the shower and bath.
We all shower often and wash lots of shampoo and soap down the drain. The shampoo is perfectly fine to wash the body with and we shouldn’t use much (for the sake of our skin, environment and wallet)…so I wash with the shampoo suds from my hair before they are washed away.
Shampoo, conditioner, skin lotion, toothpaste and may household products come in heavy plastic containers. When these appear to be empty cut across the centre and scoop out lots more form the sides and around the neck. Use a heavy kitchen knife. Store in labelled pill bottles.
To get the last out of a container, instead of cutting the top off a hand or body cream container put it in the microwave for about ten seconds, then pour the contents into a new container. Works well for makeup and other products too.
Living off the smell of an oily rag is not all about counting cents and saving dollars. It’s also about having fun. We thought we would have a bit of fun with readers by asking them to let us know how they hang their toilet roll: with the paper hanging to the front or the back and why!

We have received more responses to this survey than any other conducted by the oily rag research department – 2846 responses!
The best and cheapest exfoliate you can buy is a ladies frilly nylon bath sponge available at $2 shops or the big red shed for about $3 (at the time of writing). I just use water with the sponge on my face and my favourite body wash for the rest of me then moisturise. Simple.
