How to Get Awkward Things Clean and Sparkling Again!

Here are some green and eco friendly ways to care for things that can sometimes be awkward to clean!

Your computer keyboard becomes dirty after a while, but it's awkward to clean. There are commercial cleaners available but they're expensive and contain chemicals.

So here's a better, natural, easy and chemical free solution.

1. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a small bowl. 
2. Dip a clean rag or cloth into the solution, and wipe the keyboard clean - your computer should be switched off, of course! 
3. Use a Q-tip or cotton bud dipped in the solution to clean in between the keys.

If you practice Yoga and use a Yoga mat, it can become dirty after a while. Here's a lovely all-natural solution to keep it in top condition:

5 drops eucalyptus essential oil

10 drops Tea Tree Oil

15 drops lavender essential oil

¼ cup / 60ml witch hazel

1 cup / 250ml water

1. Mix all the ingredients in a spray bottle. 
2. Spray directly onto your mat - preferably immediately after your workout. 
3. Wipe it down with a clean rag or cloth.
4. Let it dry for a couple of minutes before rolling it up.

Want Deep, Healthy Sleep? Here's How....

We all need deep, healthy sleep. 

If you can't sleep, choose green remedies instead of medication - better for you, and for the planet!

Do you suffer from insomnia?  

If something is worrying you, do you sometimes find it difficult to sleep?

Natural remedies are always good to try, and many are easy and quick. And of course, they're green and eco-friendly.

Many people find that warm milk with a little honey puts them into dreamland. 

For me, warm milk brings back childhood memories, and the addition of honey adds a little sweetness to make it more attractive.

Alternatively, these teas all contain natural relaxants and can be drunk before bedtime:  

• chamomile tea 
• passion flower
• lemon balm. 

They can be made with fresh leaves or from a tea bag.
