IT WORKS!
Green cleaning is a vastly more sustainable and safe approach to tackle that “mother of household chores”: cleaning. We’ll use the most simple and accessible materials, a little creativity, some basic scientific explanations and we guarantee NO extra elbow grease. You will soon be knocking over the housework in no time and with extra money in your pocket! Did I mention NO EXTRA ELBOW GREASE?
What will we cover?
- What is green cleaning (vs ordinary commercial/store bought cleaning products)
- Environmental and health benefits
- Safety
- Well researched ingredients/materials, their application, why they’re effective
- Recipes and how to’s
- A run through of nearly every cleaning activity in a standard home (including the oven) – and how to do it greenly, like a boss
- Cheats
- Myth-busting
If you think green cleaning takes a lot more energy and elbow grease – put simply, you’re doing it wrong.
Once you understand which materials go with which application/task you’ll see just how effective cleaning with cheap, simple, home-made products can be.
WARNING: previous attendees have contacted GG to advise they have developed mild cleaning addictions. It’s a thing. Just putting it out there.

Who will be teaching it?
The Green Genie (GG for short) is all for empowering healthy people for a healthy planet. She loves to share her wealth of experience in small space gardening, food foraging, green cleaning, DIY cosmetics & perfumes, quality self-care and massage. Let her lead you up the garden path to a fresh, fun approach to sustainable living and self-sufficiency. She’ll probably want to stop to smell all the flowers on the way (maybe even pilfer a few) but apparently vegan chocolate helps her maintain focus … (ahem).
