Don’t you hate it when your towels just don’t smell fresh? It’s not usually until you start to dry yourself when you realise they need re-washing! Maybe you want to freshen up some old towels, or you’d like to really kill any dirt/bacteria trapped in your towels? It’s easy peasy and here’s how… Instructions: If […]
I wrote a post a few months back on the importance of editing your home, and I am determined to stick to it. For me, less clutter and mess means a clearer mind. Some people like to go for a run – I like to clean out my fridge haha! Today I thought I’d put a […]
You’ll probably do a little ewwwww in your head when you read this post today. I’ve included 9 things you should think about replacing in your home.

After a very hot and dry summer my deck around the pool was in need of some desperate TLC before the freezing winter hit. We usually prep and clean our deck twice a year and it can be quite a process. I was keen to try Cabot’s ‘Finish In One Day’ system. A big job suddenly […]
There are many things we can live without in our homes. You can still live comfortably and not miss them at all. If you prefer to feel like your home has grown in space (rather than feeling like you’ve outgrown grown the space) never has there been a more motivating time (thanks to the internet) […]

My Facebook is always swamped with ads and promos for this ekoWorx cleaning product. I am a sucker for stuff like this, and it was 40% off a pack just before Christmas so I thought I’ll buy some and see what all the fuss is about. I paid for these goodies, not sponsored and this […]
I do not profess to be a gun at keeping on top of my washing. It really is a suckful job and I am not a fan of it. I would rather clean the toilets than get super fussy about the washing basket. BUT the reality is it has to be done, and pretty much […]
Welcoming ‘Rob’ to our family! I was soooo happy when the delivery guy knocked on my door with this parcel. It’s the new iRobot Roomba 980 and I was tickled pink to be giving him a go. I always get too excited when a new cleaning product, white good or technical gadget enters my home…. especially when […]
Not a very glamours post today! But there has been a brown ring around my bathroom sink which has been really annoying me. I tried bleach and jiff, but it just wouldn’t budge.
