Once a month I used to swipe my arm along the Domestos shelf in my local grocery store and dump bottle after bottle of that bug killing potion into my trolley. Ok slight exaggeration, but I did buy a hell of a lot of that stuff and used it liberally like I tend to do with my anti aging wrinkle lotions - cause everyone knows more is more effective right? ummm yeah.....
Then somewhere along the way I saw something on TV about going green in the house and protecting your children from harsh chemicals. Yikes! I thought sterilizing my house from top to bottom with bleach WAS protecting them.
Nope Vinegar apparently was the way to go according to this TV show. And so back to the grocery store to do a sweep of the vinegar shelf and before I knew it I was happily spraying away my own mix of "Green" cleaner and making my house smell like a Fish and Chip Shop (sales of frozen chips may also have increased at my local grocery store during this period).
So imagine my horror when I was recently invited to attend a demonstration event by ENJO and Method and I discovered that the amount of vinegar my kids were absorbing by touching and walking on all my clean surfaces, could possibly be doing more harm than good. You could hear my halo ping as it bounced off my head and on to the floor from miles away.
Did you know that if you stand in a shower and rub a piece of garlic on the soles of your feet within minutes you can taste that garlic in your mouth! That is how quick our feet can absorb chemicals into our body. Eeeeek!
With their combined powers at work they, they set out to save the world one kitchen, one home at a time, by creating an entire line of home care products that were "more powerful than a bottle of sodium hypochlorite. Gentler than a thousand puppy licks. Able to detox tall homes in a single afternoon."

My favourite cleaning tip is - to clean the microwave put a cup of water in it and nuke the beejeebus out of it. The inside of the microwave will easily wipe clean! True story! xxxxx
