18.01.2022 New Antibacterial Spray & Gel. Buy now: https://www.washpool.com.au/face-bath-body/hand-sanitiser/ Handwashing with soap and water is the single most effective... way of avoiding Covid-19. However, when you're on the go it can be really hard to find a tap and place to wash your hands properly. This is when an alcohol-based gel or spray comes in really handy. Is Squeaky Clean always the best way to go? At Washpool we've long held an 'as natural as possible' position when it comes to formulation. However, we have ALSO prided ourselves on being deeply thoughtful in our choices, basing our ingredient selection on quality research, years of experience, formal study and consultation with experts in the field. Sometimes there's an overwhelming argument for including a synthetic ingredient in a product and hand sanitisers are a good case in point. Simply put, if we want the product to be as effective as possible we need to utilise a proven, skin safe (synthetic) ingredient rather than put ourselves, our loved ones or our community at risk. Safety is the higher value, so we choose the best formulation for the task rather than hold doggedly to an 'only natural' rule. The last thing we want is for people to be placing faith in formulas that may be 'all-natural' but run the risk of causing skin sensitization or not working as they're claimed to do. So - what are the critical factors needed in a good hand sanitiser? We need a high percentage of alcohol (ours is 70%). Lower and higher percentages of alcohol have been demonstrated to be less effective. We need the formula to spread easily and stay on long enough to be in contact with the organism we're trying to destroy. This is why our sanitiser is formulated as a gel. We need it to coat the hands and stay reasonably wet for at least 20 seconds to be effective. This is where the synthetic gelling agent comes into play. There are not many options for creating a gel naturally in a high alcohol formula so the best choice is a skin safe synthetic gelling agent. When it comes to a sanitising spray, the formulation is not gelled because it's designed to be spritzed on hard surfaces. It still has the ideal alcohol content of 70%. Limit: 5 per customer. @ Ballandean, Queensland, Australia

14.01.2022 Today is R U OK day. Many people around our home base on the granite belt probably are not ok today with everything that's been happening along with many other people after the weeks events It's been heart-warming to see the community spirit in action on the granite belt and from even further away as the week has progressed but it's important to remember that people may still not be coping with what's happened and other things going on around them. ... So it's important that you are not feeling ok please talk to someone. More importantly ask others if they are OK today and every other day, as that is what today is all about

13.01.2022 Had some very noisy guests at granite belt honey this weekend. We can only hope they are a sign of rain to come.

13.01.2022 Don't forget that the Bush Christmas market is on this weekend and all the coming week. There is a great selection of products from the Granite Belt and other regional areas including our full range of currently available honey products.

13.01.2022 #FastFactFriday Bees are one of the most important animals on the planet they pollinate about a third of everything we eat and about one sixth of flowering pl...ants worldwide, their honey contains antibacterial and antiseptic properties and their wax is used in all sorts of daily products. Did you know that Australia has over 2000 native bee species? Comment below if you can identify this native bee?

12.01.2022 First load going west let’s hope the western country looks after us

10.01.2022 From our friends at Sweet Little Honey Shop in Victoria comes this great recipe.

09.01.2022 A few days ago my lovely winemaking friend Paola came to me with an idea for a t-shirt that's a little cheeky & I love an opportunity to create a new design and... get printing. Then I thought, what if we make a whole range of tees from which we can donate proceeds back into the community? So today we're launching our new Save Water range where $5 from each sale will be donated to Granite Belt Drought Assist. Why am I doing this? See that behind me? That's one of the empty dams on my property and every week my husband fills our 10l drinking water bottles at H2O Headquarters - thank you GBDA . . Head to our website (link below) and find the range right on our homepage. The range includes 'save water drink beer/wine' and other water saving tips Stanthorpe residents can skip shipping costs and collect in town . . @paolasthewinemaker @paolathewineeducator @granite_belt_drought_assist #stanthorpe #stanthorpedrought #queensland #australia #drought #savewater #watersaving #savewaterdrinkwine #savewaterdrinkbeer #customtees #customprints #water #h2o #drinkingwater #buyfromthebush #buyfromthebushqld #supportrural #supportruralremote #givingback https://www.tillyandwilbur.com.au//granite-belt-drought-as https://www.facebook.com/granitebeltdrought/ #buyfromthebush

09.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW THIS TREE KILLS NATIVE BEES? It may look very pretty, but it's flowers are toxic to native stingless bees. It is the African tulip tree, and is con...sidered to be a serious environmental weed. It's fast growing and it out-competes native vegetation. Biosecurity Queensland recommends that if you have one in your garden, you can help by removing it and then treat the stumps with herbicide. Biosecurity Queensland
