Natural Washing Soda (sodium carbonate) – extend the life of mops and dishcloths by soaking in washing soda and hot water; cut through ground-in dirt on your floor tiles; de-slime your patios and pathways; de-grease the barbecue; use it to clean your bath, basins and more.
Natural Pure Borax – mix with hot water as an all-purpose cleaner and store in a spray bottle ready for use; loosen toilet bowl grime with a cup of borax overnight and scrub out the next morning; inhibit mould and mildew, a common problem in New Zealand, with a borax paste; use it to stop invasions of fleas, ants and more.

And remember, if you really can’t face the cleaning today, why not run yourself a bath with a cup of our organic bicarb in it instead – this multi-use wonder soothes your muscles and softens and deodorises your skin. Then cleans the drain for you when you’re done! A double dose of good news!
One last thing: I mentioned the not so pleasant aromas of cleaning products. When you make your own, you get to choose the smell. Something citrusy to perk you up; something soothing like lavender…a couple of bottles of essential oil will do the trick, and often add to the natural cleaning power, making your home, and you, healthier.
We (Charles, Dionne, 2 boys and Baxter the crazy labradoodle) love that these products came into our lives. Not just for cleaning! Epsom salt baths for aiding our gut health and improving our sleep, Dead Sea salt scrubs for our dry winter skin, bentonite clay masks for pre-teen (and middle-aged!) breakouts, and magnesium oil for sore muscles after exercise are now part of our daily lives. And we feel so much better for them. We hope our products can help you and your family too.
We aim to keep prices low, enjoy helping our customers, and have fun along the way.
