Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast. This is episode number 146. We're back. We're talking the

wonderful world of home cleaning. We've gone through some cleaning products that we've used

over the past couple of episodes. But this week we're going to concentrate on actually minimizing the

clutter of cleaning. Yes. And the wastage of cleaning. And sort of maximising the life cycle

of the things that we do bring into our house. Yeah. So we've kind of developed a bit of a cycle

of things that means that they are basically really used up before we have to dispose

of them, which has cut way back on having to purchase specific cleaning items and all that

kind of stuff.

So I figured that that's something that could be really helpful for people and something

that's really actionable.

It's such a small change to make in what you purchase and how you use it.

It actually does have quite a flow-on effect, which surprised me when I first started making

the changes.

But yeah, so I figured that that would be worth talking about.

What is the single most important tool, I guess? Yeah, I found probably

two things. One's really recent. I found a, like a wooden handled pot scrubbing brush that is

really great for the kitchen. But the other thing that I've discovered was that our local supermarket sells compostable,

like kitchen cloths.
