This area is the “How to” guide on cleaning plus some tips that may make the cleaning job a whole lot easier. Each part will give you detailed instructions on how to clean things really well. All methods are tried and tested in the Domestic Guru’s home.

You may noticed that I lean towards “Green Cleaning”.

Why is that?

We only have one earth. When it’s destroyed – that’s it.
We are caretakers of the earth, and we are responsible for it. So where we can, we should save water, make better choices for the good of the earth and all the people in it.

Also…if cleaning products are bad for the environment, think about what kind of effect they have on humans! It hit me as I was scrubbing my shower with bleach, and feeling my lungs burning – what is this doing to my body? I think these cleaning chemicals will kill ME before it kills the mold. I wouldn’t set up house in a chemical factory – why use chemicals to clean when there is a better way? Better for mine and my family’s health as well as the health of the earth.

Sure… it’s a little more inconvenient – but using greener choices to clean greatly reduce the risks of alkaline burns, skin reactions, respiratory problems, headaches – the list could go on. But most importantly – even more important than the environment – are the lives of our children. You greatly reduce the risk of poisonous cleaning chemicals being ingested by little ones. It doesn’t matter how careful you are with your cleaning products, it’s always a risk.

Also it’s cheaper!! DEFINITE plus!
