Alrighty guys! Thanks for your patience as I took a bit of a break while we moved house! We recorded this fun episode with Rita Pitlo before the move and got chatting about all the things!

I'm so glad she did, because she had plenty of practical tips to share! I especially loved how she went into more detail on her washing system and the simple products she uses! I'm sure you'll also love her recipes, cleaning tips, and even some op shop recommendations near the end - stick around for that!
