Our number one priority is to only use products that are safe for your home; safe for you, your family & your pets; and safe for our environment.Whenever possible, we do try to purchase Australian-owned and Australian-made environmentally‑friendly products.Unfortunately, this cannot always be the case.Even though the majority of the products that we use are currently all Australian-owned, not all of them are Australian-made.
We use general household white vinegar & water solutions for removing grease from benchtops and splashbacks.We also use a solution of tea-tree oil & water which is great for cleaning floorboards and other wooden surfaces.
Please be assured that we only use products that we truly believe are best. Our professional and personal integrity wouldn't allow us to recommend any product that we did not believe in 100%. We use all of the products listed below in our own homes and we refuse to use any product that we wouldn't let on our skin, inhale, ingest or consume - not that we'd be likely to drink any of them no matter how great they smell!
Here are a few links to some of the branded pre-packaged products that we use:
We believe that Earth Choice has one of the best range of products that we use.They
are Australian-made and Australian-owned, contain plant-based
ingredients, are Cruelty-Free (Choose Cruelty Free ("CCF") Accredited),
are Vegan-friendly (they do not use any animal bi-products whatsoever) and are bottled in PET bottles.We highly recommend Earth Choice products.
Available from most of the larger supermarkets although we have found that the larger Coles stores have more of a variety.
I just recently tried the Earth Choice Shower Cleaner (paid less than $4.00* for a 600ml bottle) and it has become my new favourite product (as at the time of publishing this page!). It removed calcium build-up and soap scum with minimal scrubbing. It has a lovely citrus smell and it is a very powerful cleaning product. Excellent stuff!
We also use the Earth Choice Laundry Liquid and the Purity Sensitive Laundry Liquid at our own homes.They not only really clean your clothes but leave them feeling soft and smelling gorgeous!For less than *$2 (for 1litre of the Earth Choice Laundry Liquid) and less than *$4 (for 1.25litres of the Purity Sensitive Laundry Liquid) they are great value.
The Earth Choice Green Tea & Lime Dishwashing Concentrate is also fantastic. To those of you who have tried the Earth Choice Dishwash Liquid (1litre bottle) - please try the concentrate. It may cost that little bit more but - in my opinion - it cleans better, you use less liquid and therefore I consider it to be better value for money, and it leaves less residue on your dishes.
Nature Organics have a new Shower Milk - Creme Brulee. It smells like a Cowboy... the shooter type (mix of Baileys and Butterscotch Schnaps) not the type that wears chaps and spurs! Absolutely divine!
On a personal note, (and at the risk of sounding like an Infomercial!) I am a Vegetarian and I also have very sensitive skin. Therefore I only use the very best plant-based products on my hair and skin.The Organic Care Daily Lift Shampoo & Conditioner makes my blonde highlights (and many a grey hair!) shiny and smells delicious.I also keep a bottle of the Sandalwood (with Tea Tree Oil) on my kitchen and bathroom benches - brilliant! Also, both Janine and I suffer from asthma & bronchitis so we certainly would not use any product that is likely to trigger an allergic reaction.
Tri Nature is one of my favourite product lines. I was introduced to them by a client
and since then I cannot stop raving about them. Not only are they
natural, environmentally friendly, they are great value for money, they
really, really work and you only need the tiniest
amount. I believe in their products so much that I have become an
affiliate. My favourite is the Sphagnum Moss Herbal Disinfectant;
followed closely by Supre Multi-Purpose Cleaner. Please click the link
above to be taken to their website for ordering. They truly are
fantastic products.

Great tips on using Bi-Carb of Soda around the home.Available from any supermarket in the Sugar/Flour aisle.Bi-Carb

on food from saucepans and cook-tops, and for removing greasy marks
from splash-backs.We also use it for removing built-up "grime" from benchtops.It is a great natural room deodoriser as it absorbs odours from around the room.We also use it to sprinkle on carpets before vacuuming to absorb odours.Fantastic stuff!
A great range of environmentally-friendly products.The Super Fast Oven & BBQ Cleaner is a must!It smells like Passionfruit! No toxic fumes here!
