Being a parent for almost seven years, I have often found brown patches on the bathmat after someone earlier was getting changed while sitting there. Each time, I have to name and shame one of my children and keep telling them how to clean themselves after going to the toilet.
In fact according to Andrex®, 34% of parents rate teaching their children how to be clean after going to the toilet as the most difficult parenting task, beating teaching them to brush teeth (15%), holding cutlery (5%) and blowing their nose (3%). So I am not the only one facing the same problem. Therefore Andrex® wants to start a conversation around what being clean really means and demonstrate that how we clean and care for our intimate areas can make a huge difference, not only to our physical wellbeing but to how good and confident we really feel. It’s done this by creating the Andrex® Clean Routine and this is the guide.
Earlier this month, I was invited to an Andrex® event but unfortunately I could not make it. They have kindly sent me this informative new health report that revealed an estimated 15 million Brits are unsure how to clean themselves properly after going to the toilet.
Have you ever thought of getting a steam cleaner? You might be wondering what the benefit of owning one is. The reasons are very simple.

If you have been following my series of Chinese New Year blog posts, you may have seen that I mentioned Spring cleaning. We have to clean the house before the New Year to wash away the bad luck and welcome good fortune into our home. There is one traditional that I still believe in which is we are not suppose to sweep/mop/clean the floor during Chinese New Year day as it will sweep away all the good fortune. So if you happen to drop/smash something, remember to say 歲歲平安 (Suì suì píng ān) immediately, which means “everlasting peace year after year”.
In August, I remember sitting in the living room with my husband watching Dara O Briain’s Science Club. I cringed when I saw Dara and his team taking sips of water out of the LIFESAVER Systems water purification bottle. I was amazed to see how the water from the River Thames turned into drinkable water in just a few pushes of the bottle. The water was so brown and dirty and within a few pumps, the water turn out clear.
