Are You Making This Common Laundry Mistake?

Image
Not so long ago the majority of Australians used twin tub washing machines to do their laundry. Now more and more households are moving away from tops loader washing machines and choosing front loaders instead as they use less power and water and are generally acknowledged as better for the environment. In fact, according to Savewater Alliance Inc. a front loader machine can use up to 70% - or 36,000 litres less water than a top loader per year for a typical household! However, one of the most common complaints about front loaders is that a full wash cycle can take up to 2 hours or more. Of course, the reason for the lengthy wash time comes down to energy efficiency. In order to achieve a lower energy usage the washing time has to be increased and laundry has to be agitated for longer to achieve the same super-clean results.

I get this question often. And I understand why. Dominant has such a wide range of laundry powders and liquids that it can be a little overwhelming at times. But it doesn't need to be. By using the following chart and 3 simple steps bellow, you'll soon know just which product is right for you. 1. Determine what kind of washing you do , including what type of washing machine (ie. Top or Front Loader) 2. Determine which product meets your specific concerns , whether it's one that's suitable for delicate fabrics, works in cold water or will tackle tough stains. 3. Lastly, consider whether you wish to recycle your grey water onto your native plants or not. If so, you need a product free of phosphate, therefore would be best to avoid using Gold or Clinic Laundry Powders, or at least not use the rinse water on these particular types plants. Of course, eventually you might find you come to use more than one type of laundry product. For instance, you may w...

The Benefits of using Dominant

Image
So you've never tried Dominant home care products before, perhaps you've never even heard of them. But now you know a little more, you're probably wondering -  What makes them different, and most importantly, eco-friendly and safe? Well in several significant ways. Let me tell you. = ) Economical Dominant produces highly concentrated products and that means great value for money. This also means less packaging, and therefore less waste. Their refillable tubs, spray bottles and pumps will last for years.  Additionally, many of their products are multi-purpose, so you don't need to buy a separate product for every job and therefore can save some cupboard space (and possibly trips to the supermarket).

And more importantly, find it useful. = ) Here I look forward to sharing more fully some really helpful home cleaning & organizing tips, plus of course, all the great benefits of using Dominant products. I also look forward to hearing your thoughts and any cleaning/organizing challenges you've been stumped with, and how you've possibly dealt them. Perhaps I'll even be able to help you overcome some challenges you thought were just too hard.. But first, who am I?  Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Suzie and a couple years ago I decided to take over from my mother as a Dominant Independent Home Care Consultant. She had started in the mid-90's and had introduced much of her family & friends to Dominant - after my brother discovered their laundry powder on his travels - but now was too sick to carry on. So, though, I'm relatively new in the role, I've ...
