More and more people are realising the damaging effects that synthetic chemicals are having on the environment and our health. Using eco-friendly cleaning products that work by absorbing and lifting the dirt from the surface, rather than stripping the dirt and the finish like synthetic cleaners is much more in a satisfactory way. I use fresh fruits, plants, malt solutions, minerals and essential oils, which used correctly, are harmless to me, my family and the environment.

I currently make a range of different eco-friendly cleaning products.

Anti-bacterial Cleaner

Great for in the kitchen or any where life makes a mess. With powerful antibacterial properties it will kill germs and bacteria, leave your surfaces clean and your house smelling beautiful. Just spray where needed or on to a cloth and clean. It is made from natural ingredients, minerals, fruits, plants and essential oils.

Anti-bacterial Bathroom Cleaner

A great all purpose bathroom cleaner for grime, lime scale and germs, a strong antibacterial solution to tackle every bathroom’s needs. I am using spray where needed or onto a cloth and clean. Made again from natural ingredients.

Surface Cleaner for Wood and Granite

I am using cleaner created with wooden and granite work tops in mind, using a seed oil base to care for your surfaces, and with minerals, fruits, plants and essential oils to clean. This puts back in what naturally should be there and my wood never looks dull. Just use as a normal surface spray and spray where needed or onto a cloth and clean. It is made from a traditional recipe (you can’t beat a classic) this leaves your glass smear free and shiny. It is also suitable for use on windows, mirrors, stainless steel and chrome.

Glass Cleaner

That’s my favourite cleaning product.  A beautiful blend of seed oils to care for and protect the furniture so they never look dull whether they are sealed or open wood. For use on varnished, waxed or open surfaces. Like the other products, I’m just spraying onto surface or onto a cloth and wipe, you may find you need a bit more on open wood as it soaks in.

My advice to you guys is to use more environmentally ingredients and production. The natural ingredients are bio- degradable and better for the water supply systems. They are safer and less toxic, though they shouldn’t be used in high doses. They won’t irritate skin, to provoke allergic reactions and usually smell nice.

I will agree with some of you that they are normally more expensive than the standard products, but to my mind we and the environment deserve better life.

Always be methodical in your approach to cleaning. Pick a task or two that you know you will be able to complete within the time available or can abandon easily if necessary. Even if you only do a few minutes here and there, you will start to notice the difference in time. It is very important to keep your home clean and free from waste food to keep unwanted vermin away. If you follow the advice given below, you will have no problems working towards achieving this.

Waste food should be disposed of in waste bins. These should be empty daily to your outside bin. It is also not a good idea to leave food on worktops; these should be covered or placed in the refrigerator. Food can also be placed in airtight containers and place in your cupboards. When your worktops are cleared you can disinfect them with a good cleaning product. This is good to do last thing at night before you retire to bed, so you know all germs will be killed while you sleep.

The above also applies to all rooms in your home, clean away snacks you may have been having while watching television. Don’t take food to bed as this will encourage mice into your bedroom.

Clothes need to be put into wash bins when they are dirty and hung in wardrobes or put in drawers when they’re clean, as mice will use these to make bedding for their homes that they are making in your home. Clutter is always a good hiding place for mice and other vermin so keep your home inside and out free from this.

Keeping your outside space is also important to keep clean and tidy. No food rubbish to be left around your outside bin area. If you have pets keep their food bowls clean and make sure there is no food left lying around them.

If this is done, you should find you have a vermin free home.

So let’s list what we need to do.

Clean up any food straight away.

Put all food away in fridge or airtight containers.

Don’t take food to bed.

Empty bins daily.

Wash worktops and floors with good disinfectant.

Keep floor clear and clean.

Vacuum.

Keep outside area clean.

Hope you have a mice free home.
