A girls guide to cycling

It's been great for My Green Cleaner to be involved with Sustrans as I'm a big fan of cycling. They've produced a leaflet aimed at getting more girls cycling and I was delighted to be a part of it in their feature on cycling whilst pregnant. Can you spot me?

Gold stars for our cleaners...

One of the lovely things about running My Green Cleaner is the feedback we get from our clients. We get lots of great comments and I'm currently putting together a testimonials page for the website. In the meantime I have to give Zofia a gold star for the work she did for a client last week who followed up with this e-mail. Nice.

" I wanted to get in touch sooner to say thank you and to let you know that Zofia did an absolutely FANTASTIC job - I am so pleased. She did a thorough and professional job and was a really lovely person on top of it. She was totally reliable and trustworthy (I popped out for an hour or so and left her alone in the house and she just got on with everything - just perfect)"

Fairtrade cloths

It's coming to the end of Fairtrade Fortnight and this year's theme has been the Big Swap with the idea being that you swap your normal product for a Fairtrade one. Easy swaps to make are bananas, coffee or tea.

Here at My Green Cleaner we can do better than that. All the cleaning products we use are handmade in the UK and without the use of poorly paid or treated labour. If you're looking for some Fairtrade cloths to kick-start your spring cleaning then then I'd rcommend Minky's (£1.49 for 2 from The Ethical Superstore). They are made in the UK using Fairtrade certified unbleached cotton from West Africa.
