"Just got back from a knackering weekend but my spirits were uplifted by my lovely clean house - what an amazing job, thank you so much. I could get used to this very quickly, you've made me very happy!"

Kirsty, Clifton (one-off spring-clean on 26th September 2010)

Organic Fortnight

Organic Fortnight started on the 3rd September and runs unil 17th September. If you're looking for an organic treat of the non-food variety you could do a lot worse than a bar of Organic Lavender and Rose Geranium soap from Cornwall Soap Box (£450 for 100g). Hand-made in Cornwall using organic olive oil this soap smells devine and is available to order on-line.

Eco cleaning keeps you fit...

My Green Cleaner got a name check in the August copy of Health and Fitness, along with The Green Housekeeper, who make fab eco cleaning products. It's always great to get a mention in the press and I'm now thinking of organising a photoshoot so I can get some more interesteing pictures together to send to journalists when they get in contact.

Lovely client feedback

When I set up My Green Cleaner my aim was to provide a great cleaning service using natural eco friendly products. As I've mentioned before, one of the great things has been receiving feedback from our clients. One of my clients wrote to me saying I ought to have client feedback on my site and wrote a review for me. I'm so grateful - thank you Nicola! Here is what she wrote:

About Me
Mum a.k.a taxi service, tutor, chef, social secretary and nurse (I have my moments, both inspired and those never to be mentioned ever again!!)
Wife (feedback tends to be good!),
Full time worker (surprisingly organised and together but have been known to try and hide in the stationery cupboard at moments of stress!)
Friend (always there for them, like they are for me!)
Housekeeper (completely PANTS! Don’t get me wrong….I love my home, I have great pride in decorating it and filling it full of beautiful things that I probably don’t need. I could identify a Farrow and Ball colour from 50 feet. However, for all the reasons above I find that I have little time left to keep my home tidy, clean and generally presentable to the general public!
This is where My Green Cleaner came to my rescue! They have helped me get my life back in order giving me back some much needed quality time. I now come home to a beautiful clean, tidy and calm home. Madeleine comes once a week for a few hours and let me tell you, those few hours last the whole week! My home smells gorgeous due to the Green Products used and I feel happier knowing that I am helping the environment and my family.
I cannot recommend My Green Cleaner enough. They have given me back a bit of my life that was lost somewhere under the sink, between the hoover bags and soap powder!

THANK YOU NICOLA! {blush}

Free P&P at Trevarno Skincare

Jamie is from Cornwall and one of the places we visit regularly when we're there is the Trevarno Estate & Gardens. It has beautiful gardens with a Victorian boating lake, Yew tunnel and a vintage soap museum! They make their own organic soaps and skincare and at the moment they are offering free P&P on their website. I love their Organic Lavender and Geranium Soap (£3.50 for 75g).

Which one to choose

I've been searching for a practical solution to our Green Cleaners carrying around our eco-products as easily as possible on their bicycles. I spotted the Cycle Chic stand when I did Bristol's Biggest Bike ride last year and have been waiting since then for some green panniers to come in stock.

Finally they're here and I'm spoilt for choice! I've narrowed them down to these two. What do you think?

Lovely handmade dishcloths

I've neglected my blog recently as My Green Cleaner has been so busy with spring cleans and end of tenancy cleans booking up the diary. But I thought I'd re-start my regular posts with these lovely hand knitted dishcloths from Magpie and a Dove on Folksy (£5.00). Enjoy!
