About the Green Cleaning Workshop
Green cleaning doesn’t have to be difficult nor spending hours scrubbing with ineffective alternatives.
This education-based workshop empowers attendees to confidently switch to DIY green cleaning alternatives that are just as effective as chemical-based products. Participants will discover eight powerful natural ingredients commonly found in the pantry, explore how to create simple and affordable cleaning solutions, and understand why these choices are better for our health and the planet.
NB – This workshop focuses on all the everyday green cleaning we do by hand—like wiping benches, scrubbing sinks, washing dishes, and cleaning toilets—not machine-based tasks like using the dishwasher or washing machine.

Impact of a Green Cleaning Workshop
The impact of a Green Cleaning workshop goes beyond simply showing how to make DIY products. As one of the most popular workshops, it helps communities to confidently switch to safer, low-tox alternatives for everyday cleaning.
Participants often arrive full of questions and leave with practical knowledge and confidence to make simple switches that don’t mean more work. They become ingredient checkers and reconsider the products they use and share what they’ve learned.
Because cleaning is a part of daily life, this workshop has long-lasting relevance.

Workshop Facilitator
This personalised workshop is facilitated by eco living educator and approved low tox coach, Mardi from ReNewy Living. All recipes included in the demo workshop have been tried and tested by our family and these are the ones we’ve stuck with, as we know the power of their clean!
I’m local to the Newcastle region NSW and am passionate about reducing the toxic load in our homes and our bodies by helping you make your own low tox cleaning products.
I hope you’ll leave with at least one cleaning product idea that you’re keen to embrace, letting this be the impetus for everyday conversation about choosing a low tox, sustainable lifestyle.
