BIOLOGICAL SOAP LIQUID

we love this product. if you only buy one cleaner this is it. we bought the cheap washing machine brand from the basics shelf at the super market and went to work.

1. place 2 capfuls in a running bath of water. add all your solid bric a brac, ornaments plates vases add enough water to cover them and leave them to soak for 10 or 15 minutes longer if you like. go from room to room gather them up put them in the bath and let them soak.

2. while they are soaking dip an old sock or tea towel into the bath and ring until almost dry. all those empty shelves corners and units get a wipe. glass may need a dry with an old newspaper to shine. as you walk past picture frames run your cloth over them. wipe down each door as you go through into a room and wipe inside door as you leave.

3. pull out the plug and drain the bath with ornaments still in. hose down ornaments with cold water and leave till drip dry while you have a wee break.

4.place a bath sheet or towel on the floor place each ornament ect onto the towel and drip dry on the floor. now the fun starts. get a tray or a bucket carefully place your ornaments into them and carry each load to their room

as you pt them back in place a quick wipe with a clean dish towel adds shine.

5.clean out the bath wipe dry with the towel and look at how much you have just done in an hour. this method is good for you .you can bulk clean and not worry about room to room.

dont forget that now our garden is an extension of our home we asked eddy what bargains we could offer our readers and he came up with some amazing ideas and changes from the usual DIY store stuff that all the neighbours have.

who hasn't heard of these 2 wonderful women? do you need their help or a helpful hint to someone?

ok ladies we found this thought you would appreciate a little challenge all you have to do hoover around their feet...............

clean up training.

when was the last time you actually sat down with a list of things to do in each room.

start with the smallest room. write a list of ALL the things needing done. move on to kitchen,bedrooms,hall,livingroom and dining room. with list at the ready work out exactly what cleansers you will need.

BIN LINERS, DUSTERS, DISPOSIABLE TOWELS, SPRAYS, DETERGENTS.

lets pick a room a morning afternoon or evening and just do the list.

once it's completed put it to the back of you mind and lists and the next one at the top gets done tomorrow so on and so on.

as you feel the presence of clean living and organisation you will find that it only takes a morning or afternoon or evening to complete as each room gets regular tidy time and has an allocated time date and list of acheivements.

work out the best time to suit you. i know that while waiting for eastenders to come on after the news i can clean the bathroom. hoover the hall and do the dishes. i have been known to do this and put out the dinner too. look at your routine find out were you are wasting time and energy and get more control over your life and home.

don't work hard hardly work THINK IT THROUGH. once you know where your going wrong FIX IT.

while making a coffee wipe down thw work surface, using the bathroom tidy the towels,wash the sink and change the loo roll if needed.

going out of the house TAKE THE RUBBISH WITH YOU

all these simple tasks can save a build up of chores.

putting a little effort and thought into something takes the big effort out of everything?don't think of it as a chore it's a job and you need to work at it for a day off. if your not under a mountain of mess don't let it get to that stage.

when our little group of friends had our toddlers at school or nursery one of us would take the other 5 children for a morning while the other 4 went on a cleaning spree, shopping what ever and out of the 5 days a week you had 4 free mornings we all met up on a friday night if we could at one of our houses had a bottle of wine and chilled. organise yourselves start a group of parents work team and see how great you work as a team.simple business practices that work even better in the home.
