..First Please Consider This Page, About..
This site is more about how to apply the Reduced Use method. The good news is that beyond a certain level once You Have this Set Up it will be easier yet. By Reduced Use you won't have to sort so much and get nowhere each day to do the extra cleaning to use the methods below. If you're too tired to set up your house to then not use it much there are two options I use, clean it using energy herbs like on my site about solving fatigue. (now with new science even severe fatigue can be easily solved). The second option is to hire someone to clean it for you just one time; by Reduced Use you get much more for your money because once your house is completely clean reduced use saves the clean for years, and it isn't just random in a few days with more to clean, so Reduced Use is like being able to afford a maid with time and energy for other activities, and you're more healthy. Research proves that fitness by moderate exercise is good for cardiovascular health, doing more is just somewhat better. And research proves that wealth is only better for pleasure in life only for the poorest, above a certain level there is no more the rich can buy, a house, a car, what's of worth for my life is how I hope to earn other's love, while I'm not real religious all my hours the religions of the world tell us so.
Ultimately Activive or an energy herb like Activive (Hello Life) or being fit enough to clean may be the best for being clean, but with Activive this is easy to achieve if in doubt. Even so who has time to clean 12 hour away not found in evolution, thus the methods of reduced use I list here are of worth for how to be "Superclean". You may like these methods of Reduced Use (what's in a name, lots) when your landlord shedules for inspections, and it's twice as natural for you.. Cleaning labor may conquer all, but awareness is labor saving.

DISHES/KITCHEN
*******
Eating is the messiest for many people. Before I found the Secret of Reduced Use I cleaned and sorted in the kitchen the most, I have a lot more left if all my leftunders left!
.. To not have to wash dishes I just use two bowls and one spoon, always easy to find, no more. It's easy to keep track of in a clean room with Reduced Use.
.... To store other food like canned food, use a box like to travel 30X25X50 in a light heavyweight hand truck, your nails are nails! Just 12 from WalMart, this makes it easy to move it around like from the store or a mile away (Click here for How to In Comfort, great for moderate exercise) and store all the unopened hot dish inside. I buy canned goods since they are cheap and easy to wash! And put them in a solid blue tote just for 5 from the discount store and then label all my blue totes so they also hold clothes and other stuff, great for clothes clutter and it simplifies your house cheap, without throwing all your stuff out like some sites recommend, it's worth 1000s, right. By using one tote for e.g. long sleeved shorts, one for slacks or more and so on, it's a lot faster to sort than using the dresser since a main problem you may have is lack of room in general. To see wash all your clothes. Do you have no place to put them? No wonder you have clothes all around. The boxes make for a much faster sort because the dresser shelves are often random to open, and search and then resort and since I just lift the light boxes over to the bed and sort my clothes in piles and then fold halfway and the in the box. The totes reduce sorting by about 20 minutes of both search and sorting. And your house smells great since you have a tote for dirty clothes to automatically know which ones need to wash. Light and dark, for stuff to sew, and stains to stop. This is a great way to make your bed fast, just toss the blanket in a larger tote. See below, for more about how to make your bed fast in winter.
About the kitchen you can also use a labeled tote in the refrigerator since it simplifies all the clutter. You may have heard of the 20/80 rule, 4/5ths of all we use like socks is not in use, thus concentrate on the 20% and in life in general you are doing well. So too, the totes make it so you can just put like 1/5th of your stuff for common use, the rest is there to serve you at your command, yet your sorting and cleaning is a lot higher speed.
In the kitchen or dining room is where I would stain my clothes, this can cost 1000's in outfits. I searched the web and here also found little of use, so my own dining method is to buy a cloth shopping bag and tie it to my ice box door, in which I put the can opener and the large spoon. To eat my food I have to open the ice box for the can opener and spoon or other to eat, thus I'm reminded to use the shopping bag for a bib (or you can use a bib, couldn't find any where I live). The large spoon makes it so I spill less food on the "bib" which has the handle that easily fits on and over my shoulders fast and easy. Even if this is more spillproof, I also lean over the sink to eat with the light on, like weight listeners, I had to stop, the more I hear the more I eat! The light helps my coordination to not spill the food and I bang my head on the computer shelf, for best reflexes. Just spray the sink out to clean up, much easier than cleaning off the tablecloth or falling over, and no food on the floor.
..To reduce use of sinks, just use 1 not 3, 1/3 less to clean! (I know) How Your Bathroom Sink Will Shine if you do nothing more and more!
If you use these tricks, you'll have all the outfits you want, buy them once and you also have light outfits, no stains. Stain removal is like solving from the other side! I often used some impossible method before this. My father said if a person didn't have to spend on clothes food or rent, anybody could be rich, two outa 3 ain't bad considering that Reducing Use like this can also save many people from eviction by being clean faster, saving more money and to have rent to pay. The 1000s you save on Reducing Use you can put into cleansers and other improvements in your house, except once you understand Reducing Use, ways to clean to have to clean less, as I say here, I use more permanent methods by Reducing use that cost much less money or labor in the long run..To remember to use the bib I put it on my refrigerator, if you can't remember to or if you want to improve any household habit, eg. reducing computer hours away from Muffy, a cheap trick is to make cheap labels out of paper (masking) tape. And I use a medium permanent marker that's both easy to see yet narrow enough to have good reflexes, to improve handwriting to make it look beautious, go over in pencil, edit if needed, then the marker, cut to fit, plus the heavy transparent tape over to seal it. It has more space to put your label than store labels, it's not too red or green, and it's vastly cheaper than label makers at like 2 or 3 dollars a label overall cost! WOW! What's the probability of UFO's Out of this arena! Handwriting improves your personality, and like TV that reduces life expectancy by 30 minutes for each hour watched, I wonder what computer drudgery and grief does to us? DSL helps a lot no doubt, even so it has sitting and stress combined, and this is reminiscent of TV, TV what is it? I couldn't find sites yet about computers and life expectancy yet, when they arrive I'll be so high speed I'll be aware!

It might seem the easy way to reduced use for cleaning the kitchen would be just to eat out all the time, but this is expensive and unhealthy, great to be rich, or almost amazin, no doubt, I remember the 20 I owe her, she'll make sure I live to 1000!
Since even with reduced use I still have to clean the one kitchen shelf of all the food packages, it's of worth to reduce use by putting as much of the stuff of one type in one container, especially to have just one water jug, one salt shaker, and so on. Wide mouth canisters are a good solution for powdered stuff like flour, instead of five unbeautious boxes of flour to sort you just have one that matches the rest.
.. Much of this is about decluttering as you see on declutter sites; even so a second important trick other than Reducing Use is to use shields, like sealing the bathtub away after you clean it for the boss with the curtain, and using burner shields that never need cleaning because you never use them once clean for the boss. A box to store things is a sort of shield to reduce complex randomness, useful like for the kitchen table where I put my food in unbeautious jars or containers I've bought the food in while I eat them for a day or so. My kitchen table where most of the daily complexity is to clean looks clean because all the random food is in the box on the shelf so the ants can't find it (see Bees Ants and Other.... on link list to left for how to..) Other food shields are a removable poly box lid in the bottom of my refrigerator so if I drop food its much easier to clean (Even so by Reducing Use this is less common.) A good poly table cloth is both easy to machine wash and matches your box, and if you choose a weave that's with many motifs and decorations, the stains won't be so obvious,so you don't have to squeegee your shelf so often by reduced use and it will last. (As I say about saving 1000's on outfits buying clothes or other fabrics like bedwear, a deep hue with patterns to camouflage stains for long use yet light enough to be beautious and with durable stuff like poly for the tablecloth makes it cheap. More below.)
This shelf of the kitchen table is where I do all my sorting, eating and washing, to clean all I have to do is sort and polish this one shelf and this is much easier to achieve each day than the entire apartment when I wake up while I do push ups, when I run around the room for exercise cleaning. (To remember to exercise while I clean I think of the exercise as to continue and cleaning as second till my time is up; counting the number of reps is good to keep remembering to exercise to both be clean and fit multitasking, via Twice a Day or 20X a month vitamins!)
For an easy centralized simple easy way to clean and lots of extra energy left over by way of Reduced Use one advantage is you always know if you have to clean that hour or no, and if you must it's lots more easy. Most like life near the shore where most of the life is (even most fish are five miles from the shore) it's much better exercise in moderation than cleaning a room of unsorted stuff, a simple reflex arc of evolution, problem, solution, a problem much easier to solve with Reduced Use than without.
. One good advantage of just using one shelf like this is because food is on merely one shelf, you have all the other shelves clean and unused, so ants bees or spiders are outdoors (Aunt Bee is Merry to be nearer!) if you ALSO put the food on a table with just one center post because as I say on my ant page, ant science tells us the ants feel by sense of antenna not by ant nose and can't find the food by walking upside down on the shelf by luck, (they have small hooks on their feet to walk upside down, but not on smooth shelves). Combining this with ammonia in a spray jug labeled "AMMONIA FOR ANTS, DO NOT EAT, ANTS!" is a complete method when combined with Reduced Use of your shelves. Ammonia both washes away ant trails and has anti ant power too, much safer and cheaper and easier than harmful toxins, also is good to reduce spiders when the boss is near if I must although I sympathize as often as I'm allowed. Click Here For My ant and bee site and exactly why a one post table with Reduced Use and ammonia and how to use is better to stop ants and spiders.
To reduce use of my sinks like in winter actually eat over one of my kitchen sinks, leaving the other two unused, It's easy to then clean out any food I spill with the sink sprayer, thus no kitchen shelves have food on them no food on the floor and the other sinks are clean too, reducing use.
To reduce use of the one kitchen sink, I use the screen drain food holder, though you see them for 10 or 15, there are good screen drains at the dollar store for just 2. I used to use lots of mouth wash and constantly floss and brush for how I CURED my gingivitis with probiotics with 5 years of search in 3 days Click Here. Good germs like acidopholis and others like bifidium (not just acidopholis) replace the bad germs, putting you in a much better general position. Brushing and flossing still recommended. I seems important to get nutrients from otherwise healthy foods with sugar. If you have sugar issues like 1 in three who will get diabetes yet need fruit, a formula called New Greens has little sugar, but 20 servings in a one dollar dose that is just one 10th the amount I spend on food anyway, so it may be worth a lot more than fast food alone and a wise way to get good nutrition without sugar. Like the surgeon general would say, vitamins and nutrition are of real value, since just a little goes a long way, so it's good in general, and sugar is now believed to be a slow poison. "Sooner or later if you live long enough you're guaranteed to get diabetes if you eat sugar." New greens are a good cleanser, I feel good right after I eat the dose, and it doesn't taste too good or bad just mildly nice, so it's not tempting to eat it all, wasting the cost, yet still improved over other green formulas. Clay is not famous here in the US but it's so absorbant it even absorbs out heavy metals and radioactivity, and it's great for allergies, ect. Clay seems to absorb out fat sugar and and salt too, perhaps it is evolutions dish. As I say on the page Clay is cheap and has literally 1000s of benefits because the food has no minerals and you only absorb 10 percent of vitamin minerals, ect. ect. Brewers yeast has lots of fiber, it's cheap, and a big dose of chromium, and it's much more delicious than fiber like wheat fiber, for brewer's yeasts they'll think you're a beer, taken with sugar it may make the difference between whether you get diabetes, because it actually rebuilds your cells insulin receptors. It's now found that 1 in 3 will get diabetes, and this is a fun cheap insurance you won't. Developing countries don't get diabetes because they have fiber in their diet of unprocessed foods. Even people who eat sugar and work in the sugar plantations don't get diabetes because there is fiber in unprocessed sugar plants. Here's My Health Disclaimer. Please read.
***To clean out the colanders in your sink if you have no dishwasher, a good method is to tap them, soak them, then clean them through the wires with a toothbrush used for this, and then disinfect them with hydrogen peroxide. A larger brush is better yet, wash after use. Putting a wad of recycled paper towel to fit in the central Reduces Use of the area to clean out, then just tap it out with the food and I clean the rest by turning it upside down over the drain and spraying the wire left, not even touching the strainer to cleanse it with ease.
To stop ants also a method of Reduced Use of food you may drop that are a multitude like chips or crunchies in a bag is to pour them with a funnel into a jug with a handle and a lid that's wide enough to pour either into your mouth or the bowl when you eat without spilling. Ants love food with sugar.
. To prevent food from spreading on the floor Reduced Use is to hoover regularly but it's a great chore compared to endless sorting and scrubbing without Reduced Use, especially around doors and on your shelf you use the most...
Reducing Odor by Reduced Use..If you wonder like I did sometimes why my house had odor, you may realize most house odor is from clothes or food, liquid food in particular, like leftovers, as in the refrigerator and in the drain. To solve for food it's good to remove the odor and not throw it away in your trash cans. Instead it's good to use wide mouth containers to store the semi liquid stuff with a lid in cycles of full to empty and throw them away when full. I use the larger cottage cheese type jugs, you can just store them in the icebox, I use a cheap tape mark of paper tape to make certain I don't have an amazing lunch in the county ER! Reducing Use here also helps completely stop ants when combined with the methods on my ant and bee site, and no bees will fly in your door as you open it because they otherwise smell jugs of honey when they buzz for the gusto! Another advantage is, you don't have to clean out the drain and your house smells great. If you can't wash clothes right away, a good way to reduce house odor and reduce clothes clutter in the meantime is to store them in poly bags, see below, CLOTHES.
Of course just opening the windows when the boss or companys will visit, is cheap and easy and the number one red=commended way to reduce house odor by websites who kno!
To save on trash bags and help the ecology poly grocery bags are of worth by nails on the side of my one beam kitchen table to loop the handles of the bags. To clean off all the dry stuff like crumbs on the shelf, just move out the bag and swipe it in there, then I wash and squeegee the shelf with alternating spray jug soaks. Since the bags have no liquid trash they don't have odor and they are light to carry, otherwise you have to use the tall kitchen bags that take up floor space and cost 25 more a year.
Sometimes I miss my aim and some of the food on the floor while putting in trash to solve this a moderately dark floor rug that's easy to clean by Reduced Use and simple to toss in the washer, no floor to scrub.
BEDWEAR HAS A COAT Of SATIN MOORES To not have to wash pillows, use of a folded moderate weight blanket is of worth instead, I think this may give my brain more fitness than a pillow that's too easy on the shoulders for a third of my life in bed, more like evolution. The blanket won't wear out like a pillow and saves money. The shield here is a good pillow with a good pillowcase I use only when the time rolls around to see if I'm clean by the landlady in March or so.
.To not have to make my bed so often I use a heavy blanket of deep beautious weave and the sides are beneath the legs of the bed so they won't slide around. If you need to in winter the arch of the bed makes a good blanket holder so you're in reach of the rug. The blanket above the heavy one is for heat, and the heavy blanket insulates you better from the cool air in the cushion. How to have clean sheets, I buy more! Reduced Use saves.
Actually you can use like clips like the silver handled black paper clips that I unclip the handle, thread through both the sheet edge and reclip it and the mattress underneath where I want to stabilize it with the sheet in place on the top and the mattress upside down, and then turning it back over, this stabilizes the sheet as long as you like.
To make my bed in summer I have the base rug and sleep with a good sheet above it, to not have to fold a sheet, the "base coat" looks fine and I just make the sheet that goes with and contrasts the blanket in a tube at the foot of the bed, so it looks good enough without folding and the good side up. In winter a good sleeping bag is cozy to save heat (keeps your ears warm and easy to breathe not around your nose but reradiant) and doesn't have wrinkles so it's easy to make, a darker deep color is easier to keep clean.
When the inspection arrives a good trick is to use the blanket on your sofa for the top blanket on the bed, no one sits on so often so it's always clean.
CLOTHES
Reducing use can also be used to save on buying clothes. I have some older clothes that I've had for more than 15 years, and I noticed what these clothes have in common with other clothes that "don't wear out". First they are usually durable, like synthetics, and second they're light enough to be beautious and not to be tossed out in a few months because of looks yet dark and of complex and beautious motif enough to not show many stains. Generally I buy clothes that go with other clothes in modular ways, with some sharper ones for real life. Even so to Reduce Use the clothes I notice that are the best most for Reduced Use are also with enough moderate camouflage patterns. To maximize reduced use, these clothes I wear around the house, while the lighter clothes that seem more sociable I wear to go out for visits or appointments where I won't spill anything on them (lots of my neighbors wear lighter clothes, and indeed research shows the road where you live has influence on how fat you are, Lois Lane Superwoman! Is the woman up the road!). Thus the house clothes are saved because they don't show stains while deep and beautious, and the clothes to wear out for business or pleasure aren't stained either, I would spend 3/4 of my money on clothes on stains before reduced use. Another way to reduce use in winter is to wear an outer durable moderate hue or other outer synth coat and an inner coat that costs more but that won't wear out for many more years with more insulation. Also, see above about how to stop spills, using the bib methods.
Reduced use can save you thousands on clothes (even at Goodwill) and months of shopping for new clothes otherwise. They match together well because not too dark or light and you have to wash them less often.
To reduce use of winter boots a good pair of durable PVC "overshoes" makes them last much longer and you can just buy a cheap pair of warm boots that won't wear out for years that otherwise would, this can save you hundreds over years and it also makes your boots waterproof and with rubber heat insulation.
Socks last much longer by the same trick, inner socks for insulation, outer shield, strong synths for reducing wear. You can buy lifetime sandals, silicone oven mitts for winter that are real cozy and never wear out, how are lifetime mits, ask customer reviews! Bass Pro Red Head socks, made of real cozy thermolite and nylon, also have a lifetime guarantee.
To sort clothes, another good way to reduce use of clothes in your house is just to use one set of the more deep hued clothes as I say this way I don't hang my outfits most often on the floor! For reducing perspisation parsely and other herbs also reduce use too.
Outfits with durable cloth that has patterns and are also light enough to be interesting not only save 1000s even at Goodwill, but they match together well because not too dark or light, and you have to wash them less often. I wear lighter clothes when I go out to be with my neighbors who wear lighter outfits, even so people will unconsciously think of you as smarter for wearing this type of outfit that are dark mysterious and light too because they sense you have mystery and power of interesting outfits while saving too. To reduce use of outfits it's good to find like 3 of your best outfits and then alternate them perhaps two or 3 days each. I would find that I spent too much time sorting my clothes after I had gone through say 10 outfits to find the ones that matched best sometimes. Folding in the labeled totes is a mere two hand operation, not the complex rocket science and optical recognition and 10,000 dollar computer arm needed to hang outfits on the hanger because you have to find the hangar, the clothes...often hangars aren't seen.. Folding takes about 3 seconds and no wait.
Using fewer outfits in rotation and combination both Reduces Use and randomness, speeding your time finding and sorting clothes, and storage of items like unwashable shoes in poly bags if needed reduces house odor. Febreeze is a good additional boost. I wash outfits 1000% when the manager arrives. The ruse is just to use a few outfits at a time.

.. WINDOWS
A squeegee cleans a window or shelf fast with Reduced brush to clean, and to finish I put the pane up on my stove with the light and can go fast back and forth both sides with a semi dry paper towel with the rest of the water so it dries just right and fast without streaks. To clean both sides for remaining dots, a good trick is to scrub on your side. If it isn't clean, mark it and others like on your side with finger and spit, go to the other side and clean if the dots are on the other side, then return and remove all the spit. I also use a scrap of blue painters paper tape to make with the arrow, masking tape leaves a bit of adhesion. A squeegee is good for cleaning other planar areas like walls or shelves fast after you spray with water, no need to wait for the soak.
All other windows other than the front door, Reduce Use by using the venetian blinds as a shield.
Another good trick to reduce use is to just use the front door and to tape a poly shield on the storm door you use so your hands won't dirty it. This is good for other realms where you must often open or close. The van of my local house of worship is so clean it has those Tiffany lights when they drive by!
.FLOORS
. To dry rugs or clean a wall or sink out fast and dry it much faster without streaks if already mostly clean, a heavy absorbent towel like a batch from a sidewalk sale when life's a beach in the heat is fast to use like to clean out the refrigerator, and just toss in the washer and dryer for indefinite use and reuse. Use the heavy cycle for better clean. Be careful of no contamination, use mostly for one use. A good trick is to use just white towels for bleaching floors like linoleum, and colored towels for all other uses so bleach is guaranteed not to be used where hazardous. Your rugs may definitely or perhaps be non bleachproof. Paper towels are good for general small scale cleaning, towels for larger scale nontoxic cleaning/drying, and rags are for toxic cleansers so I throw them away after use because they aren't easy to store and reduce the risk of blending the wrong one.
For rugs it's good to use heavy nonslip washable rugs in the kitchen, and only walk on these, this way you can just toss them in the machine for a fast clean up without huge scrubbing labor if you watch to not drop and or always clean up spills.
Reduced Use has value for rug shields, if you buy small rugs and only step on these from rug to rug you'll save your big rug and not have to clean so often. Where you don't yet have rugs and you must walk, just put down a clean dry towel, then pick it up when you're finished. You save a fortune on expensive rug care. You can get rugs at the discount store. Like for clothes the best value by Reduced Use seems to be deep mysterious hues like for outfits with patterns to camouflage any stains yet with light e.g stripes so they're good for 10 years not months of wear. When you wear outfits like this others may unconsciously think better of you because you know how to get the better value for clothes, somehow you're saving 1000 a year but how? By reading my site like I am you are and always will be! I use cheaper rugs for common use and some more luxuriant ones for the visitors, saving the Reduced Use by Reduced Use.
RUG CLEANING CHEAP
In 15 years I've learned to no doubt toss floor rugs in the washer for cleaning the wall to wall. (Even with Reduced Use it needs some care.). No doubt hoover it up.Tthen I use two special tricks. First I go over it with a brush like a self cleaning pet brush (easy to find in Pet supplies in stores like Wal Mart cheap. The pet brush has deep cleansing rubber tipped bristles that rapidly dig out dirt while fluffing up your rug without harm to it-much faster than sweeping with a broom, vacuum often while you clean in alternate cycles. After brushing fast you can then sweep otherwise buried dust that's out of the rug to a dust pan. Believe me to fluff and cleanse your tired rug (combined with the towel method see below) this works better than anything other than a professional, it's fast and just costs 5$ If you can't find a pet brush with stiff rubber type bristles though this isn't self cleaning ("clean...out with a comb") and I don't know if this is of worth.
To clean put the dust pan on the floor to the left aimed right, put your left hand on the floor for level zeniths above and then sweep from right to left into the dust pan while on hands and knees. This method is the most labor saving because it's an action reaction power saving mode. For higher speed, sweep larger areas then channel into the dustpan.
For the second trick I get some towels and moderately moisten the side say 4" and scrub out more of the dirt then dry real fast with the towel If there's more dirt on the towel keep cleansing till no more. the rug doesn't have much risk of mildew if you clean dry it clean faster. Why not just pay for a rug shampooer? The brush towel method is cheaper, takes less time, perhaps and hour, and is good exercise. If I have more time I use cycles of vinegar, baking soda, "wet towel" and dry towel plus perhaps more of the pet brush ect. vino and baking soda are great for for rugs, no powder to remove like baking soda alone and much cheaper and safer than carpet cleaning fluid. If powder remains after drying use more vino and scrub. Your time is twice till dry so as I say water may be best.
Have you ever wanted a self cleaning mop that is? A good trick is to buy two or more durable rayon mops (I think rayon is the best value overall, because unlike flimsy cotton mops won't fall apart in a week or two; even though a bit unabsorbant, rayon costs about the same). To make them self cleaning I just put them out in the weather, the rain cleans them, reducing use because no buckets and tubs to wash out. To wash the patio too move the mops to the side with each cleaning cycle. Or you can add water to the floor via a plastic broom, if you spray like using a hand spray jug it would take years of tweezers to trim your lawn like some cheap lawns. To clean out the broom when you're done, just squeeze in the sink with the pressure of the handle, and it's good to wash the broom outside. Two or more mops are better, because although not much water us needed after you add water with and loosen dirt by edging via the broom, two mops finish up better than one, and you have an extra mop for other cleanup and drying. Though you can't use this if you live in the desert, with enough mops in reno you'll stay ahead of the bet.
The main cause of floors to clean is tracking in from the outside and food "leftunders". Of these for me at any rate the outside great indoors is the main one to clean. I thought of business like a powered welcome rug or a door that scrapes clean the mat each time you walk in, this is possible to engineer by choosing the right level of your door and rug. Or perhaps a computerized footwear sprayer. Till 19.97 Ad (when all this and the year 2050 arrives!) a good solution for me has been just to tie a line around the door on the inside to the outside door and leave a line from the outside too for returns to help me remember to wash off and clean my feet especially good for rain and mud, and also may save you from the heavy metal problem most rugs have via tracking in from the outside. Mostly just walking on the rug shields helps a lot.
The best cleanser by far for water stains I've found in 20 years by far is baking soda plus lemon juice, wait a few hours, wash up with wet towel repeat if needed. No scrubbing, no fumes, best I've ever seen, also a great bleach for clothes, sunlight boosts the safer bleaching, antibacterial power. Not for use on wood finish surfaces.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES
To not have too many books and magazines I read the web, bind my magazines with twine in numbered batches to reduce clutter, and read my encyclopedias, and no doubt the computer see the marms at the shush room is a good way to find books or software you like most before you buy.
MISCELLANEOUS.. To not drop my beard while I shave, I shave over the kitchen sink with mirror and shaver both stored in a nearby bin. To clean up I just wash all the cut beard down the tube with the sprayer. This makes it so I don't ever have to clean the bathroom sink and it has no sprayer like the kitchen sink so it's easier to clean the one sink in the house I use so no more than one sink to clean by Reduced Use.
...Dropping the shaver is a major cost with shaving. To solve this loop a shoe string through the handle or punch a hole in duct tape after you tape it around the machine. Then tie the shoestring if it reaches all the way around your shoulder so you can loop it up there and you'll never drop your cutters, just your beard!
Another good way to save on shavers is by Reduced Use with the same shaver used to also cut hair. This can be achieved by using just one of the sideburn trimmers with the linear (oscillation type) blade. Because it's cheap it won't much cause nicks and it will cut your hair pretty well Click Here for how to. I've saved about 800$ and with practice like online instructions you can do more with a beautician than cutting out.
.. The majority of people take suppliments and perscriptions for health. Click here for ways to find and not drop vitamins or herbs in the bottle thus Reducing Use by not having them fall on the floor, and how to research your alternate herbs.
Reducing Use can be used for personal cleaning of other types. To cleanse fast, I turn up the heat and remove my clothes, spray somewhat with Hydogen Peroxide and scrub dry with a towel which I later wash. My bath is in a jug! Hydrogen Peroxide is a deodorant and anti bacterial, it gives oxygen and mice given hydrogen peroxide live 1/3 more in mouse years, it completely dissolves tumors in research and builds up lean muscle while reducing fat. This is fast, saves hundreds a year in hot water and no bathtub to clean. Even so hydrogen peroxide isn't for continuous use of for use on large areas of the body. Water and liquid soap in a spray jug alternating say one day a week is best. Always read and follow instructions.
To keep your teeth clean, a good way is by Reducing Use of sugar. If you reduce use of your teeth by reducing sugar, you have no pain and your teeth are yours to keep, plus you lose weight, your heart is saved, and so on. I think of sugar as fat, and a they find it's a slow poision. To achieve better you may blend aspertame in a jug of water with cinnamon or the other herb of the week, let simmer overnight in the refrigerator in hot weather and then anytime you're hungry, you have delicious water anytime you might otherwise overeat. [Aspertame may not be completely safe, but using it in the jug is 30 times cheaper than diet sodas, other cheap sweeteners may be best, but the water in jug method with herb and sweetener instead of the aspertame seems of real worth. The cinnamon lowers the cost of the aspertame by adding it's own "sweetness" and it lowers blood sugar (caution if you have blood sugar problems, aspertame is "safe" and safe for blood sugar though you may find a better sweetener yet for this plan.).To save 10x more on aspertame and reduce risk if there is, to use with your food, put some of the powder in one hand, eat food with the other and then the powder, then more food and so on. This is better for the reduced dose because if it's unblended with the food it has much stronger flavor, and your tongue "remembers" what you ate on the other bite so you use less] Use of this method will augment your interest in water which is healthy like for UT, you lose weight and it's much easier to eat with no additive foods like oats so you can reduce fat salt, sugar, and cholesteral. If you drink more than about 8 ounces of water before, you'll not be able to overeat, and with fiber, best yet.
DOORS, WALLS AND HALLS
My walls needed cleaning a lot the first time so I asked my landlady Ronnie R Realtor to paint them for me, have no fear, your lease may often help. Here where I live my rental agreement often may say that repairs like painting for common use are paid for by the the owners and if I made the goof, I have to pay for the cost of replacement. They also may replace older appliances. They also replaced my refrigerator, toilet, and faucet at no cost when needed after years of use, and my heat pump. If you make small holes in the wall or if your windows have condensation you didn't cause, you may not have to pay for any mistake you didn't make, I made the goof, so I would have to pay, sooner or later I would anyhow (justice is clean because what a realtor knows is 37 floors higher!).
.. Reduced Use for walls. Once clean for the boss or by after you have a Heavenly Houscleaning Wench visit and your walls are completely clean shelves and other furniture are useful to save and shield your walls. Also it's good to consider room dividers for areas where a stove fits in my blendor!
To find stuff in boxes like in your storage room if you must, move the box away from the wall not toward it as you move to open the box, reducing use of your wall.
..One of the best things thing about Reduced Use is, instead of being an hour or two from complete clean, you're always just 10 or 15 minutes away.
STORAGE
As I say, it's actually easy to not use the utility room or storage closet by just using the computer for like reading magazines you have stored or using the washer on the site and not mine to wash clothes, heck the clothes wire is both a washer in the rain and uses rain and solar power to dry it out! The rain lady adds the soap dish right!
Even so good would be to both have and hold what's in your storage boxes. The problem with the boxes is if they're stacked high like mine, you have to move the top boxes and then dig through the stuff. Often all my stuff would be randomly moved out of my boxes. I thought of the transparent shelves but they cost and don't hold thousands of bills in cost. Who has time to count 10,000,000 saved. The best trick I've found is strong shelves with transparent boxes plus the paper labels, fast to edit for inventory. so if you have say have five boxes it's easy to find and reach the 2nd box up.
A good cheap storage trick I use to store stuff of the size of like vitamin bottles, socks or Reader's Digests is green tea jugs about the size of a milk jug. I used other opaque type jugs to store like telephone wires for my 900 MHZ, funnels, and so on. I still have them, even so better after 10 more years of trying stuff like small boxes or zip locs I could never open or close using one hand, all the jugs are out, ect while I'd search is gree tea. Green tea is a super cheap non edgy anti cancer non hormonal influencing stimulant, and it's a delish dish you can find at any store like Wal Mart or the dollar store. The jugs are essentially no cost, and I use them like a transparent box with a handle. I used other jugs that were not transparent but you can see the socks. I cut the side out of the jugs to make a small opening with lid and put my socks or other stuff inside. To find them, I look on the label on each handle in the drawer and use one hand to access the jug and sort through the socks in and easy method. My socks are all orlon wow mom! Vitamin G, life path more a boost to orbit than vitamin R! Poly boxes cost a lot, they have no handle, they're non transparent, and the stuff falls out often. In order to reduce use I had no socks or vitamins; it was inside the shelf but I didn't want to have to take all the stuff out and drop it to just find a vitamin. This use of green tea jugs like 128 ounces is also useful like for storage rooms or anywhere like inside shelves where it's not so visable, ect. And the time saved sorting and with 1/3 more vitamins and socks, makes it worth the secret saved. The jugs stack more vertically for better use of shelf space than say just jugs have a low profile and green tea boosts metabolism, good for weight loss, and it's the cheapest stimulant I've seen by far, just pennies a month. So the jugs don't cost with fast access via operation control, only YOU are the power. The green tea jugs fit just one general size for storage, so to be more sharp it's good to use other sizes of transparent jugs, large ones like bottle water jugs with handles via walmart store stuff like empty jugs for optimal use, and smaller transparent jugs are good to store inside medium jugs so you can store stuff like pencils and pens ect. The best for kitchen or other drawers about say 3 inches high I found were the jugs of shredded like parmesian cheeze, from the discount store. General to sharp, then you can label them all ect, but this is cheap no cost, and if you put the jugs with the lids at the top like in a cloth store shopping bag with handles, and label the lids with a permanent marker (an easy built in label for white caps) you can then just read the labels fast to find the right jug with the subset of smaller jugs if
needed, and it's easy to move the bags around fast. It's cheap and cleans up about 3x the speed, and for me it's like getting 150 a month mostly because I can find all my old audiocassettes where all my mp3s crashed for 200$ and old audio lives on and on, without a crash sooner or later. Finally I found that the cellulars have the SD to not lose the memory (good improvment, hope so!)and, to revive my audio, the Coby cassette players are just 12 on Ebay so I don't lose all my old tunes cheap.
I hope this page is of real worth to you. Good News! This site is to help us realize no one is permanently unclean. There's hope for us all in reduced cleansing. Reduced Use-there's so much more to it!
