Stumble It!I reuse carrier bags as kitchen bin liners because I do fling some yucky stuff in there and to be honest it does make life easier. But the more I reduce my rubbish the less bin liners I need, and the more I’m thinking about what is going in my bin.
Ethics Trading’s best seller continues to be the wonderful Soap Nut.
Essentially you can do ALL your cleaning using soap nuts. Yes, ALL. It’s perfectly possible to clean your home, your laundry, car, curtains, children, floors, windows, patio, garden furniture, well everything really. If it gets cleaned with some sort of wet detergent, or detergent and water then soap nuts can do it.
If you need a Soap Nut Solution then the instructions for making one can be found as part of the Soap Nut Information PDF file.
They’re also good in the garden, not only for cleaning your patio and garden furniture, but as an insect repellent. Plants sprayed with a mild soap nut solution have much less green and black fly and don’t get seem to be eaten as badly by slugs and snails. In fact, soap nut solution appears to kills slugs and snails while it drives away the greenfly.
Oh and a mild soap nut solution in a spray bottle works well for damping down wall paper for stripping if you’d normally use soapy water - I’ve just done my bathroom.
How much more versatile can you get?
