Energy Efficiency Saves on Two Fronts!


There are more ways you can be green then just switching your products. A great way to save money and energy is to turn your washing machine down to 30°c when doing a general load. This can save up to 40% more energy then if you were to wash at 40°c

Kids Cleaning Ideas


With the weather being less then fabulous, you may spend a fair bit of time at home and as a result, things can get untidy very quickly!
It can be a bit of a challenge getting your kids to clean up after themselves but I have found that if you turn it into a game you can get the job done a lot quicker. Also positive reinforcement goes a long way (in adults and in children!), praising your child for doing a good job will hopefully encourage them to do the same in the future!

The Big Freeze is On!


Brr! We had thought that we had just about got away with it this winter. With all the bulbs coming up early it definitely felt as if Spring had sprung. But alas, Bristol got a dusting of snow this weekend and we have experienced some very low temperatures indeed. It's the perfect time to snuggle up in front of the fire and count down the days until Spring!
