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?
Bike Belles is a cycling website designed to encourage all of us girls to get out and about on our bikes. It's a mine of information with tips on cycling safety, fashion and maintenance. My Green Cleaner was delighed to get a mention on the website after they discoved that all our staff use bikes to get around. Have a look at the full article on the Bike Belles website here.
Many people switch to natural cleaning due to the health risks associated with having toxic chemicals in their home. But the products we use have a much longer life span than just within our home, working their way through the water cycle and ending up in the environment. 
I prefer to use the carrot rather than stick when it comes to flying the flag for ecological cleaning, but sometimes highlighting the nasties in non-eco products has more impact than extolling the virtues of lemon, lavender and vinegar!
And so to this extract from Easy Living magazine. The three health and fertility experts all agree that household chemicals can have a harmful impact on fertility. Two of them refer to perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are commonly found in food packaging and pesticides but can also be found in shampoo and household cleaners. To prevent exposure to PFCs avoid any products that contain fluoro or perfluoro in their ingredient list.
