Challenge: Throw away all old unused cleaners

Congratulations to Kristine, you have won an ENJO pack from Jenny, enjoy!!

I love this challenge.  I had a cupboard full of unused old cleaners that I had been meaning to throw away.  I either purchased them and used once, they didn’t do their job efficiently, or I found a better product, any which way they made their way to the back of the cupboard taking up space, that could have better uses. 

This week Jenny, independent ENJO consultant is sponsoring our challenge.  ENJO’s range of microfibre gloves and cloths provide a safe, effective alternative to harmful chemical cleaning in the home, and with a small amount of water, gives you a better clean with no harmful chemical fumes or residues, and no going through bottles of chemicals to get washed into our waterways or countless cloths or sponges that end up in our landfills. ENJO’s range last on average for 2.5 – 3 years and can save you hundreds of dollars on chemical cleaners and sponges, as well as saving you time on your cleaning and most importantly, save yours and your family’s health. By hosting a demo in your home, you and your guests can see the benefits and effectiveness of ENJO for yourselves, and hosts can earn ENJO products for free. If you live in the Melbourne area please give me a call on 0428 115 733 or email jenenjo@gmail.com for more details on seeing ENJO in action or to book your own demo.

 THE CHALLENGE:

1. Grab a bag, fill it with all your old unused cleaners from the kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, garage, shed etc.
2. Don’t empty bottles down the drain, this is hazardous.
3. For chemicals that are labelled ‘Poison’, ‘Caution’, ‘Warning’ or ‘Danger, dispose of them in the hazardous waste bin at your local rubbish tip.
4. Other cleaners such as those you use in the kitchen, laundry and bathroom can be thrown into your outside household bin.  Remembering to keep them out of reach from children.
