12.01.2022 THURSDAY TIP: Make your own washing powder and cleaning products at home. This can be as simple as using cheap ingredients from your pantry - Bicarbonate of Soda, Vinegar or Lemon Juice, and grated natural soap all work a treat! Combine them with cut up old clothes or linen (pinking shears are the best for this!) to use as household cloths you can even run a hem around them or just leave as is ... These simple swaps allow you to ditch plastic bottles that don’t get recycled, brushware and cloths that shed plastic microfibres into our waterways, as well as toxic cleaning products that poison our homes and families by using simple single natural ingredients and repurposing items you already have at home We offer handmade Kitchen & Laundry Soap by Washpool - Skin Wellness, metal soap savers by Radha Handmade Organics & Naturals, as well as cloths, brushes and scrubbies made from natural plant based fibres by the Textile Enthusiast and Eco Max Brushes, to compliment your home made cleaners on our website here: https://www.greendandelion.com.au/collections/cleaning Or please contact us for more information about our full range of pure, simple, and natural Cleaning and Laundry products

12.01.2022 #ThursdayTip Refuse single use plastic by choosing lunchboxes with layers and compartments. These can be used instead of a whole heap of disposable wrapping and ziplock bags For a completely zero waste lunchbox, add small containers, glass jars, or beeswax wraps for small or snack items, or dips, sauces, and dressings eg nuts & seeds, hummus, tomato sauce, cut fruit and veggie sticks, small salads ...

03.01.2022 No matter whether you make your own Beeswax Food Wraps (like a true Craftivist!) or purchase them ready made (Kitchen Ecowarrior!), you will need to know how to look after them to make them last Here’s our TOP TIPS: USE the warmth of your hands to gently mould the wrap around the food item, jar, or bowl. DO NOT SCRUNCH your wrap or you will damage the coating WRAP cut fruit and vegetables, mushrooms, cheese, snacks and sandwiches, plus use to cover small jars and contai...ners, salad bowls, leftovers, plates and platters of food. DO NOT WRAP RAW OR DELI MEATS KEEP YOUR WRAPS COOL - hot water, food, ovens and microwaves will melt the wax coating WIPE OVER OR GENTLY RUB with cool-warm soapy water and soft cloth to clean and AIR DRY. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER unless absolutely necessary to clean USE DILUTE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR SOLUTION for an extra clean. DO NOT USE ANYTHING ABRASIVE OR PUT IN DISHWASHER OR WASHING MACHINE! STORE WRAPS FLAT to prevent permanent creases. Some clever people wrap them around an old cling wrap cardboard roll. Your Beeswax Food Wraps will last a good 6-12 months following these tips. They make handy pot plant liners or use in the laundry or tool shed when too old for kitchen use. As long as they are made from pure cotton fabric, they are also fully compostable at the end of their life
