This month I'm loving... Maison Belle's cleaning products with gleaming green credentials. OK, maybe 'loving' is too strong a word. I humbly admit I  am no match for Kim and Aggie (right), and Anthea Turner could keep herself blissfully busy for a week tidying up after my family (particularly scraping up all the glitter trapped between our floorboards – I say life's too short!), but the Maison Belle products do actually make me smile. Even when I'm using them. I'm a sucker for a sweet logo and the delectable scents (thanks to essential oils) are a wonderful distraction from the task at hand. If your nose thinks you're in a spa having a massage, the rest of you can blithely get on with the scrubbing.
 The brainchild of Denmark's Isabelle Smith (left) Maison Belle has a squeaky clean green CV: the cleaners are completely natural, non-toxic and fully biodegradable, with no bleach, ammonia or phosphates. Yet (shock!) they work.
I have taken a real shine to 'Glass', as natural glass cleaners can be a little tricky, requiring more elbow grease than might be comfortable (unless like  me, you still haven't joined a gym so count window cleaning as an essential part of your workout regime). This one works a treat, offering a guilt-free – and streak-free – shine and a refreshing Green Tea/Sage scent. So far (fingers crossed) the Apple/Thyme washing up liquid (right) has meant I'm less tempted to leave the washing up until morning. (We're not a sexist household, but as he does the cooking it's only fair...)
The All Purpose cleaner's dreamy orange, lavender and clove scent makes spring cleaning just that little bit nicer. And that's all you can ask. Try the entire range, from Maison Belle Kitchen to floor and toilet cleansers and even gentle hand soaps.
