I am a big fan of e-cloth. I love their range of environmentally friendly cleaning cloths and products for the home and for personal use (the hair turban is still one of my favourite beauty must-haves!)
I have been trying out two new products in the range, the Kitchen Whizz and the Natural Mineral All Purpose Cleaner.
The Kitchen Whizz is a handy little pad made with long fibres and scrubbing stripes that is ideal for a quick clean in and around the kitchen sink, taps, draining board and work surfaces. You simply dampen it, wring it out and then give it a whizz around the surface that needs to be cleaned. Like other products in the range, you don't need any harsh chemical products as the fibres pick up dirt and residue and remove 99% of bacteria using just water. It can be machine washed to keep it hygienically clean and is guaranteed for three years.
The Kitchen Whizz resembles a scouring pad but it much softer and nicer to use. It really does a good job of cleaning, and gets into hard to reach areas. I love how it brings stainless steel up to a lovely shine. It was also great for whizzing over the hob, bringing it up clean and shiny.
At just £2.99 it is a real bargain.
Sometimes, you get a tough stain that nothing seems to shift. I sometimes find such marks on my work surface made by a rusty can that has been put down for recycling or a glass ring stained with red wine. There are also sometimes hard to shift stains on PVC door or window surrounds or water marks in the enamel sinks. When you need a little extra cleaning power, the new Plus by e-cloth Natural Mineral All Purpose Cleaner is a natural and bio-degradable product with the power to remove grease, stains and stubborn dirt with ease.
The tub of cleaner comes with a sponge and a red general purpose e-cloth to make cleaning up really simple and effective. You simply clean with the damp sponge, making a foam with the paste and rubbing in a circular motion, wipe away the residue and then buff dry with the cloth to get a sparkling finish. The cloth also removes over 99% of bacteria.
The product dissolves and lifts away stubborn stains brilliantly and impressively. It's great on stainless steel, enamel, ovens, pots and pans, showers, bathrooms, BBQ's, garden furniture, cars, caravans, trainers, plastic...in fact it'll tackle loads of household cleaning jobs.
The paste cleaner lifted some really stubborn stains from my outdoor PVC window sills. Ian had tried to use a spray cleaner before with no effect, but the paste and cloth worked a treat. I powered through the water marks and limescale build up around the sink and on the shower screen and tray and even shifted some pen from a doll's face. This cleaner really works.
At £9.99 for the 300g tub of cleaner, the 32cm x 32 cm general purpose e-cloth and the sponge, it is a great value buy, which will last for ages and make your chemical kitchen cleaners redundant!
Both products along with the full range of excellent e-cloth products can be found at
www.e-cloth.com where postage and packing is free on UK orders over £10.

Testing some new products from the E-Cloth range.

Ebody - Clean and Exfoliate the Natural Way
I am a big fan of the e-cloth brand, which uses the latest fibre technology to offer a great alternative to conventional, chemical based cleaning. We already use e-cloth to deliver chemical free cleaning in our home: polishing windows, cleaning our TV, wiping down surfaces and mopping our floor. We even use the e-cloth oven cleaning cloth to help keep our oven clean.
Now, we can also deep cleanse and exfoliate ourselves without the need for harsh chemical scrubs using the brand's ebody Spa Collection. This is great news for people with sensitive skin, allergies or for those of us trying to minimise the use of harsh chemical products in the home. Using micro-fibre technology, the cleansing fibres work with just a little face wash and water to create a rich lather, while cleansing pores and exfoliating the skin. ebody also utilises micro-dry technology on a range of towels, which absorb four times the moisture of cotton at twice the speed. The ebody towel range is a perfect time saving addition to a beauty regime and ideal for sports use or travel.
I was sent a Face Cleansing Mitt and a Hair Turban to try out.
The ebody Face Cleansing Mitt has fine weave fibres that gently but effectively clean your face. It can remove make-up, even mascara, without the need for harsh creams or lotions. Just add a little lather from a mild cleanser to create lots of fine bubbles that lift dirt and grime from the skin leaving it smooth and feeling clean without the need for specialist wipes, lotions or exfoliators.
The mitts cost £6.99 and are guaranteed for 300 washes meaning they will last for ages. They make your cleanser last for ages too, generating lots of lather from a small amount, making them cost effective in the long run.
The hair turban is a must have product as far as I'm concerned. I swear by them as I have long, unruly hair that needs to be restrained after a shower! The ebody Hair Turban is a really good size and is made from soft waffle-like material. It fits securely on the head with a button up fastening. It really does work fast, absorbing the dampness from the hair.
It costs £12.99 but with the 300 wash guarantee it will last for years. I think it is a great product that is comfy and secure to wear, and which dries the hair fast.
All e-cloth products including the ebody range can be bought directly through the e-cloth website where delivery is free on orders over £10.
I think the ebody range would make brilliant stocking fillers for older kids and teens or could be used in a pamper hamper for a loved one.

My Green Clean Challenge Round Up
I Went Green With E-Cloth...And I'm Impressed!
Throughout the month of June I have gone greener than I've ever gone before! Thanks to the lovely people at e-cloth, who provided me with a selection of their cloths and natural cleaning products, I have not had to use any nasty household chemicals in my home at all! I am so surprised at how easy it has been to say bye-bye to bleach and ta-ta to toilet cleaners. E-cloth unleashes the ionic cleaning power of water which is perfect for lots of household tasks. The concentration of special fibres make the cloths able to pick up and hold grease and grime more effectively than other cloths. 480,000 fibres per square cm provide a huge surface area of cleaning edges, picking up germs as well as visible dirt. Other jobs can be taken over by using environmentally friendly alternatives, whether that is a purpose made cleaner or by using salt, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda or lemon juice. I've learned tricks and tips to save time, money and the planet. I have revolutionized my housework!!One of the most impressive cleaners that I discovered over the four weeks is vinegar. It has disinfectant and deodorizing properties so is useful for drains and toilets when used neat. In a solution, it makes an excellent spray cleaner for most surfaces, windows, mirrors, taps and sinks. It is as good as anything I've ever used before, and that includes the top brand sprays that claim to clean everything in a single spray. The best bit though is just how cheap it is. Economy Malt Vinegar works just as well as the more expensive vinegars and it costs pennies. The smell disappears as soon as it is dry. Using it with the e-cloth makes surfaces smear-free clean with ease. I can't recommend the General Purpose e-Cloth and the Glass Polishing e-cloth enough when used in conjunction with a light spray of vinegar solution for surfaces and windows.
Oven Cleaning is a horrible job but using the Hob and Oven Pack and a bicarbonate of soda and vinegar paste certainly did the trick. I found it actually worked better than a top brand chemical oven foam cleaner that I had previously used. Not only was the end result better, the green way also did not smell for hours or destroy the skin on my hands. In fact, when my son Joe and his girlfriend Jade moved house last weekend, I used my new found green oven cleaning technique to get their oven clean. I used environmentally friendly Astonish and the oven cloth to scrub the oven after scraping off the layer of grease with a plastic pan scraper. Jade had actually bought an expensive chemical oven cleaning kit, but it went unused...I am that much of a convert to going green! Glass doors on ovens and microwaves polish up a treat with the glass cloth.
Laundry products have been replaced by environmentally friendly versions that are readily available and similarly priced to top selling brands. They are just as good yet kinder to the planet. Vinegar can even be used as a fabric softener, although I didn't try this myself.
We have laminate and stone tiled floors in our downstairs rooms. The e-cloth Deep Clean Mop is excellent for both surfaces using just water. The large mop head is very absorbent and works quickly and easily to clean hard surfaces. It breaks down, picks up and holds the dirt and grease which can then be rinsed away. It worked really efficiently and the telescopic handle made it height adjustable to avoid back breaking mopping issues!
Washing-up is so easy with the Washing-Up Pad which at £2.99 is a real must have. It is big, thick and has two different textured sides to tackle both grease and dried on food. It is very robust and after a few weeks shows no sign of deterioration at all. For lightly soiled washing-up I use just water and the pad. For greasy dishes I do like to use a squirt of environmentally friendly washing-up liquid. A dash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of salt in hot water can also be used to assist in washing-up the green way. The E-Towel is a drying up phenomena, drying four times better than ordinary cotton. I love how efficient it is to use, no more smearing damp cloths over my plates! And glassware comes up streak free and sparkling. It is an excellent addition to my kitchen.
Overall, going green was not difficult at all. In fact some jobs were much easier and quicker thanks to the brilliant e-cloth products that are designed for specific cleaning jobs. I loved the fact that all my cleaning jobs were safer for my household and the planet. The money saving aspect of not buying in chemical cleaners was a real eye opener. Every year over £100 is spent per household. Investing in a selection of e-cloths will prove cost effective over time. E-cloths outperform and outlast ordinary cloths.
E-Cloths can be kept clean by regular rinsing, but can be washed in a washing machine with a little detergent according to individual washing instructions. This maintains their performance at its best. They can be washed 300 times without losing their effectiveness!
Taking the green plunge really is a win-win situation. Your family is protected from the chemical residues from cleaning products that can trigger asthma, allergies and skin problems. The planet is saved from the disposal of harmful chemicals. Not using impregnated wipes and cutting down on shop bought bottled cleaning products reduces the impact on landfill sites. Money is saved in the long run by using just water to clean. Your house will be hygienically clean and many tasks will be made quicker and easier.
Whether you want to make one small difference or whether you want to go completely green, every step you take has benefits that positively impact both personally and globally. Take a look at the e-cloth website to peruse the purpose designed cloths, mops and pads. You will also find more information on how e-cloths work and advice on their care and use. Delivery is free on orders over £10.

E-Cloth Green Clean Challenge Part 4
Ever since starting the E-Cloth Green Clean Challenge, my eyes have been opened to the benefits of ditching chemical cleaners in favour of natural alternatives or simply using e-cloth products with water to tackle household cleaning jobs. It is amazing how good a job you can do without having to resort to using products that can damage the environment and cause potential harm. Plus you can save money. Going green with your cleaning really is a good choice to make.
By using the e-cloth range I've got sparkling stainless steel and glass in my kitchen. My work surfaces are hygienically clean. My bathroom mirrors are shiny and my sinks and taps are looking good. My laminate and tiled floors are being kept clean with the e-cloth mop. It's all very quick, easy and effective!
This week I'm focusing on washing up. We used to have a dish washer but decided that after our two eldest kids left home, that we should go back to washing up by hand as we were creating far less dirty plates etc. I believe that our decision has reduced our water and electricity consumption, plus we no longer need to buy expensive dishwasher products. Could we go any greener?
E-Cloth has a Washing Up Pad which is a good sized pad with a cloth side and a scouring side. The scouring side is for scrubbing off stuck-on food and stains, while the cloth side cuts through grease and grime using just water. They also have an E-Towel for super fast, streak free drying up.
We have been using the Washing Up Pad to tackle our washing up. For lightly soiled crockery or glassware, it works brilliantly with water alone. When washing up greasy pans it worked really well with a squirt of environmentally friendly washing-up liquid. I must admit that having the lemon scented bubbles made it feel more satisfying, because that is what I'm used to.
The abrasive side was really good for scrubbing away burned on food and stuck on stains. It was excellent on my husband's stained coffee mug! The size of the pad is excellent for making short work of washing up and it feels very sturdy in your hand. I hate scouring sponges where the abrasive section peels away or disintegrates with use. The pad is still perfectly intact.
Using just hot water and the pad for much of our washing up is working really well and has made our bottle of environmentally washing up liquid, which we use for greasy plates and pans etc, last much longer. This is very cost effective.
The E-Towel is a tea towel that is made with a material with super absorbent fibres that is four times more absorbent and effective than regular cotton drying up towels. It came in a Country Classic design and was 70 x 40 cm in size. I didn't really appreciate just how poorly cotton tea towels perform until using this! Just one wipe leaves things dry, streak free and grease free. It is exceptionally good on glassware. I hate it when glasses get smears and white residue on them from being washed up. The e-towel literally left them crystal clear, completely dry and sparkling with one quick wipe!
The packaging says you will never use an ordinary tea-towel again. I can see why! It also wipes down surfaces to a dry, streak-free finish with a single, once over! It is definitely a very effective cloth! Ian was really impressed with the e-towel as it cut the drying up time down considerably and left everything completely dry ready for putting away in the cupboard.
The Washing Up Pad is £2.99 and the Country Classic Tea Towel is £4.99. A small price to pay to revolutionize the way you wash up!

E-Cloth Green Clean Challenge Part 3
Oven Cleaning The Green Way!
I've been challenged to switch my chemical cleaners in favour of natural alternatives and harness the cleaning power of water with e-cloth's great products! Up until now, most household cleaning products have been easily exchanged. I am amazed by the effectiveness of vinegar solution as a cleaner for most surfaces when used with a general purpose e-cloth. Environmentally friendly laundry tablets and washing-up liquid are just as good as my usual brand. Going green is proving so much easier than I thought it would be.
But this week, I needed to turn my attention to the interior of my oven. This is a horrible job! Chemical cleaners are so harsh. They stink out the house and are terrible for my hands. They are generally very expensive and also don't live up to the promises on the packaging. All in all...this makes oven cleaning very high on my list of least favourite jobs!
The e-cloth hob and oven pack consists of two clothes. One is heavy and slightly abrasive for tackling burnt on grease. The other is a light cloth for shining up the stainless steel and glass.
Using just water, the heavy duty cloth picked up a lot of the grease and black deposits from the walls and shelf edges of the oven. It is far less mucky using the Oven e-cloth than when cleaning with a spray on chemical foam cleaner. The bottom of the oven had some really stubborn marks. To assist in the job, I made up a paste of bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to help shift the burnt on grease.
Using the bicarb and vinegar paste really helped cut through a lot of the muck. It fizzed up, eating through the grease. It was odourless once dried and did not effect the skin at all. After a quick scrub, a wipe off with an e-cloth cleared away most of the mess. As it is not toxic, I didn't feel paranoid about any residue remaining in the oven and was happy to cook again straight away.
The end result as you can see was pretty good. There are some slight burn marks still visible in the enamel, but there is nothing nasty lurking at all. It was much simpler using the cloth and some bicarbonate of soda paste rather than a shop bought chemical oven cleaner. The peace of mind knowing that it was 100% harmless was a real bonus...I hate those smelly, expensive, noxious, toxic, psoriasis inducing oven cleaners!
The oven e-cloth rinsed clean with some hot water and once dried was ready to put away, ready for the next oven cleaning day.
The polishing e-cloth was really effective in buffing up the stainless steel and glass door.
I also used the oven clothes with plain water on my microwave which was a much easier job than cleaning my oven. The heavy duty cloth lifted off the food spatterings really effectively and the polishing cloth made the exterior shine.

E-cloth Green Clean Challenge Part 2
The Power of Water and Vinegar For Cleaning
For the last week I've been switching my usual washing and cleaning products for a natural, environmentally friendly approach. With support from e-cloth, I have discovered that you don't need to spend a fortune on harsh chemical cleaners to do a good job when it comes to housework. In fact water alone is an excellent cleaner when used in conjunction with an e-cloth product. There are also plenty of natural plant based cleaners, laundry detergents and washing up liquids available on the market, however using some simple everyday products such as lemon juice, vinegar and Bicarbonate of Soda can produce excellent results for a fraction of the cost.
E-Cloths are specially designed to use the power of water to clean your home. This means that you can do away with the harmful chemical cleaners that are damaging to the environment, can effect your skin and be harmful to pets and young children. The secret lies in the fibres of the cloth that lift dirt and germs away from your surfaces. I've been using various e-cloth products for my cleaning jobs as part of the E-Cloth Green Cleaning Challenge.
To enhance your performance for tougher cleaning jobs you can use the disinfecting and deodorising properties of vinegar. Simply make up a solution of one part vinegar to one part water in an e-cloth spray bottle. It is safe on most surfaces (not marble though!)
For this week's post I'm focusing on cleaning surfaces using an e-cloth with a vinegar solution.

| Ready For Green Cleaning |
I set about cleaning the kitchen counters, surfaces, paintwork and appliance doors using my vinegar solution and the General Purpose e-cloth. At first the kids thought it was very funny that I was using vinegar! Each squirt reminded me of a fish and chip shop, however the smell disappeared as soon as the solution dried and did not linger at all. Thankfully!
![]() |
| A Helping Hand |
The spray and wipe technique really was simple and yet extremely effective. It cut through grease, even on the cover of my extractor fan, which is usually a cleaning nightmare. Freddy is always keen to join in with chores and for once I could let him loose (under supervision) with the spray bottle without worrying about him coming into contact with harmful chemicals.
![]() |
| My Helper Spraying |
The front glass door and stainless steel of my oven is not easy to clean. So I was really interested to see how the e-cloth and the vinegar/water solution would fare up to this challenge. To say I was amazed is an understatement. Even the older kids had to agree that this cleaning was working!
![]() |
| So Clean you can See your Face In it |
The smear free finish I achieved was so impressive. You could see Freddy's reflection so clearly! It also worked brilliantly on windows removing the sticky Freddy sized hand prints. Ian gave the car windows inside and out a clean with the spray and cloth and said that they cleaned up a treat.
Using the Bathroom e-cloth and the spray vinegar solution, I cleaned the bathroom sinks where there was some light limescale build-up. Adding an old toothbrush to my cleaning tools I was able to scrub the bottom of the taps really easily removing any build up of soap scum and lime-scale. The cloth brought everything up to a good shine. It is a really effective way to clean the bathroom too.
Vinegar can also be used neat for drains or toilets to deodorize and disinfect. It is a versatile product...I am definitely impressed by how good it is for cleaning. If you can get over the initial smell, I'd say it is every bit as effective as anything I've ever used before.
To think that a bottle of economy vinegar costs just 13p from supermarkets, this is an incredibly cheap way of cleaning your kitchen and bathroom really effectively! I am already committed to doing away with those overpriced trigger bottles of harsh kitchen cleaners in favour of vinegar, water and my e-cloth!

E-Cloth Green Cleaning Challenge
Time To Come Clean and Go Green!
I am not one of these women who dons a pinny and headscarf and effortlessly floats around the house making everything sparkle and gleam with a smile on my face. I am instead someone who finds housework a necessary evil! I hate the idea of using gallons of chemicals to keep my home spick and span. Everytime I pour some harsh cleaner down the loo or down the plughole, I wonder where it is going to end up and what effect it is having on the environment. I also suffer from psoriasis on my hands which flares up whenever I so much as look at a bottle of bleach!
Last year I discovered e-cloth and was impressed that I could clean my home using nothing more than the power of water! 99% of germs can be removed without having to use chemical cleaners. Using my e-cloth to clean up the bathroom sinks and polish the taps has been my contribution to green cleaning. I feel like I am doing my bit, I'm saving money on cleaning products and it is quick, easy and effective on everyday messes. However, I've not been brave enough to completely turn my back on the off the shelf products that temptingly promise to turn your greasy kitchens and limescale ridden bathrooms into sparkling clean spaces.
This year however, my dedication to going green is being tested further with the e-cloth Green Cleaning Challenge. Can I say good-bye to chemical cleaners for a whole month? Using a range of e-cloth products along with a host of natural alternatives to chemical cleaners, can I keep my home hygienically clean?
E-Cloth have sent me everything I need to go clean and green for the next four weeks. Using some everyday items such as lemon juice, salt, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar, alongside some eco-cleaning products and my e-cloth collection, I'll be testing just how easy it is to go green.

| Coming Clean and Going Green! |
I'll be sharing some hints and tips on how you can clean your home naturally. I'll also be interested to see how much I could save from my weekly shopping bill by making the switch. Apparently we spend on average £109 a year on cleaning products. The initial investment in e-cloth products could soon pay for itself several times over! So wish me luck as I embark on this challenge!
Take a look at e-cloth's website to see the range of products specific to different household cleaning needs and maybe do your bit in coming clean and going green.

E-Cloth
E-Cloth is a range of environmentally friendly cleaning products that allow you to clean around the home using nothing more than water! Research has shown that using an e-cloth with water removes over 99% of harmful bacteria. This is excellent when you have small children in the house, keeping things hygienically clean without the need for harsh chemicals.
If you were to ditch the chemical cleaning products you could save over £100 every year! Using an e-cloth is quicker, easier and more environmentally friendly.
When I was sent an e-cloth to try Inside the Wendy House I was a little sceptical. We are so used to using chemical sprays, creams and liquids that the thought of using water alone to clean seems quite strange. However, I was more than willing to give it a go, especially as I suffer with psoriasis on my hands which is made worse on exposure to cleaning products.
The General Purpose Cloth costs £4.99 from stockists including John Lewis, Lakeland, Homebase and Tesco. It is suitable for cleaning all hard surfaces and can tackle thick grease. It is a versatile all round cleaning cloth.
I've been using it instead of using chemical cleaners. This video shows how I've got on.
As you can see I am really surprised at how well it did the job using only water. I've used it on a whole range of different surfaces and it is really effective. It even removed the grease on my extractor fan. Impressive! It saves time and money, is kinder on my family and the environment and gives great results, killing over 99% of bacteria. They are machine washable.
For more details visit the website where you can also purchase from the range. (Free p&p when you spend over £10).

The General Purpose Cloth costs £4.99 from stockists including John Lewis, Lakeland, Homebase and Tesco. It is suitable for cleaning all hard surfaces and can tackle thick grease. It is a versatile all round cleaning cloth.
I've been using it instead of using chemical cleaners. This video shows how I've got on.
As you can see I am really surprised at how well it did the job using only water. I've used it on a whole range of different surfaces and it is really effective. It even removed the grease on my extractor fan. Impressive! It saves time and money, is kinder on my family and the environment and gives great results, killing over 99% of bacteria. They are machine washable.
