Saturday: Dry-Area Blitz (Bedrooms & Living)
Bedrooms
- Strip linens; start a hot wash.
- Rotate or flip mattress; vacuum with upholstery tool.
- Wipe skirting & switch plates with microfibre + diluted eucalyptus.
- Sort wardrobe—winter coats to the back.
Pro tip: Place charcoal deodorisers in wardrobes; humidity spikes in October.
Living & Dining
- Pull furniture from walls; vacuum edges, then centre.
- Dust louvres and ceiling-fan blades with an extendable pole.
- Spot-clean carpets (recipe: 1 tsp eco dish soap + 1 cup warm water).
- Finish with a floor mop using pH-neutral cleaner safe for jarrah.

Eco-Friendly Product Picks for Perth Water
Hard water (≈ 240 ppm) can leave streaks. We tested 12 cleaners; these three stood out:
- Method All-Purpose Pink Grapefruit – great on benchtops.
- Koala Eco Glass Cleaner – peppermint oil scent; streak-free on bore-water windows.
- Eco Store Bathroom & Shower Cleaner – citric-acid base dissolves calcium.
