<p>Banish moths, bugs be gone,  let the gentle fragrance waft over you from the new Anti-Moth and wardrobe care items in store!</p>
<p>Every year I have increasingly become more enthused about the Spring Clean &#8211; and this year I have even more reason to be excited!!</p>
<p>Cue the beautifully packaged range of sweet smelling <a href="http://www.extinctdesign.co.uk/products/22/485/anti-moth_hanging_sachet_with_essential_oils/" target="_self">anti-moth</a> and wardrobe care products now in store!</p>
<p><img src="http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c7/morefoto/caringforvintageclothes.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>The moth season starts end March/April so you should be preventing now and getting your wardrobes ready to avoid any nasty surprises later on!</p>
<p>Click for more information on the blend of essential oils used in the products and my <a href="http://www.extinctdesign.co.uk/docs/18/guide_vintage_clothing_care/" target="_self">Guide to Vintage Clothes Care</a>. Why not treat yourself to the lovely items as your special reward for your Spring clean!</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">Betty Grable &#8211; The original pin-up girl advertising Lux Flakes.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.wikaniko.com/index.php?un=1003476 " target="_blank">Wilkaniko</a> have a great range of <a href="http://www.wikaniko.com/index.php?un=1003476" target="_blank">eco-friendly products</a> for your laundry as well as your house to get you ready set for the big clean!</p>
<p>I especially like the <a href="http://www.wikaniko.com/wexec/order.exe/list?s_cat=5" target="_blank">Soap Flakes</a>. I have a vague recollection of seeing these ads in old, old magazines. Do you remember Lux soap flakes? These soap flakes are made by the company that used to make Lux! Soap Flakes are predominantly pure soap – with no added perfumes,  enzymes, bleach, phosphates or additives, so you can be confident that they will degrade harmlessly without damaging watercourses and aquatic life. They have not been tested on animals and far less likely to cause skin  irritations than regular detergent washing powders. The packaging is made from 80% recycled  board.<br />
These flakes are perfect for your vintage garments, gently handwash or pre-wash out any stains with the flakes before putting really delicate items on a cool delicate wash.</p>
<p>Top Tip! Try a homemade laundry recipe &#8211; easy on the pocket and your  conscience.<br />
Simply add 16 tablespoons of Soap Flakes, 8 tablespoons of Borax  substitute and 8 tablespoons of Soda Crystals &#8211; all available at <a href="http://www.wikaniko.com/index.php?un=1003476 " target="_blank">Wilkaniko</a> to an  airtight container and shake up the ingredients. Use two to three  tablespoons of the mixture in your washing load. The washing powder will  last for approximately ten washes, with the average cost of about 20p  per load.</p>
<p>Need a little help? If you can&#8217;t get your clean on to these 80s babes nothing will get you grooving!</p>
<p>Lets hear it for the Pointer Sisters!!<strong> I said TURN IT UP! </strong></p>
