I'm now stocking it on this website. Go to Shop Now and you can order. Or else try your local health store.

Soda ash is a finer version of washing soda. You can sometimes find it on Trade Me or you can buy it online at www.lotusoils.co.nz

Most bulk bin stores including Bin Inn are now stocking these products. Also washing soda is available in the laundry aisle of your supermarket, and borax can be bought at the chemist although it is very expensive bought this way. I've found borax listed on Trade Me.

You can buy Prussian Blue pigment from good art stores. Make sure you get the powdered pigment, not the paint.

It is very gluggy, that is why I store mine in old 2 litre milk bottles, then I give it a good shake and squeeze a dollop in. Depending on what soap you use it can vary from being really liquid to solid as a rock - with Sunlight soap it is just gluggy. If it is too solid, heat it up again on the stove and add some more water.

Certainly, and please do try other soaps. I have found the vegetable oil soaps from Trade Aid work really well and are a far more green alternative to Sunlight. A bar of Sunlight is 125gms so half is approximately 60gms. Happy soap making.

Most ethnic stores have it as Indian and Asian cuisines use it a lot. Some supermarkets and delicatessans also stock it.Your chemist may have it but check it is pure rosewater and doesn't have additives.

For bad soap scum spray on neat white vinegar and leave for about 10 minutes then get a non scratch scourer and rub off. You may need to repeat this several times. For general cleaner please make up my glass cleaner which you will find in the cleaning recipes section.

Yes, please look under beauty recipes.

Yes you can. It has no chemicals to make it bubble so is ideally suited to a front loader.

I buy all my lavender oil from North Canterbury - please contact Charlotte Brown at www.hvlavender.wetpaint.com as this is the best lavender oil I have found. For the rest of my oils I buy online at www.lotusoils.co.nz. I find their products really good and they also have supplies for other things like soap making and aloe vera gel.

You'll find it at the hardware store as a drain cleaner. Just check on the label that it says 100% sodium hydroxide - which is what caustic soda is.

That will be because you didn't wait until the bowl was full and agitating for the final rinse. I set the time on my stove to tell me when to add it.

We have been so embarrassed about this. Penguin are the publishers and we have no control over the quality of their book making, but they will send you out another one if you send it care of Jeff Atkinson, Penguin Group, 67 Apollo Drive, Rosedale, North Shore 0632. Please let us know if you don't receive one.

Rub the inside with baking soda mixed to paste with water. Or some people find salt works better for harsher stains.

Yes, please see cleaning recipes.

I don't have a front loader but I tell people to put it in the fabric softener compartment and they tell me this works well.

As far as I know they are as they don't contain chlorine which I understand inteferes with the natural bacteria of the tank. Please see cleaning recipes section for my septic tank bacteria booster.

Certainly. It doesn't bubble or suds as there are no chemicals in there to make it do that.

Sprinkle liberally with baking soda so that you have it about 2 ml thick and mix with a little water to a paste. Leave overnight. If the burnt matter hasn't lifted repeat but with washing soda instead.

Castile soap is made out of olive oil. This is preferable to beef tallow or other ingredients if you are wanting to be completely green. I find all sorts of 100% vegetable oil soaps in ethnic shops, Trade Aid stores and health stores. However Sunlight is just as good, if you don't mind the beef tallow.

Yes, please look under beauty recipes.

Most councils allow 6 hens and no roosters in city areas. Check with your local council. It is good to have a group with a minimum of three as they get lonely otherwise.

For most stains I advise neat white vinegar, poured on, rubbed around and left for about five minutes. Once the stain has lifted please rinse thoroughly with water to neutralise the acidity of the vinegar so that it doesn't harm your carpet.

You need to use Brewer's Yeast as it is a nutritional supplement, not something designed to raise bread! Healtheries have stopped making the one I have been using so I will do some research to find out if anyone else is making it. Meanwhile most health stores will sell flaked yeast which is fine to use. As long as the yeast is for nutrition, not a raising agent your pet will be fine.

Yes I do, please see beauty recipes.

I have just added them all on the pet recipes tab.
