Show #481. PJ Harlow: Turn your home cleaning, disinfecting efforts into health-building rituals

           

About this show:

Be prepared to be excited to clean your home. I’m not joking, PJ, this week’s guest will have this effect on you!

So chill, so relaxed, so non-judgemental about your priorities and situation, yet so incredibly knowledgeable and nerdy when it comes to the finer points of what effectively cleaning parts of your home really entails.

PJ Harlow is a long time online friend, both having gone through mould illness and become gravely ill due to ongoing hidden exposures. She is an incredible consultant now in the building and remediation space and is also trained in biological and forensic cleaning.

We cover

  • Cleaning tools – tips and tricks for having the right tools for the job.
  • The difference between cleaning and disinfecting
  • The level of ‘clean’ you should be aiming for in a regular home
  • Engaging professionals to clean your A/C systems – red flag/green flag tips!
  • Dust busting
  • Areas in your home you may have missed!
  • Cleaning product ingredientsfor effectiveness – and what to avoid
  • Cleaning mould out of clothes

And… somehow even more!

I hope you love the show – share it with a cleaning friend nerd!
