Late sunrises. Crisp air. A bite in the breeze. Layering yourself like a croissant, only to end up puffy but still cold. And after shivering through the working week, Saturday rolls around – cue the cleaning soundtrack.

Let’s be honest. Cleaning on a cold, rainy Saturday? Absolutely not. Not when your couch is calling, your blanket is whispering sweet nothings and that one tearjerker movie (you know the one I’m talking about) is lined up, ready to play.

Now, a couple of weeks ago, I shared a way to make cleaning slightly less eina. Because – let’s face it – whether you’re scrubbing with the great choice of eco-friendly products or just because the smell is getting weird, cleaning is still … well, cleaning.

What if you could clean in your gown without leaving your snuggle paradise? No need to deep-clean like your house is going on the market tomorrow – just 5 gown-friendly tasks you can do in under 90 minutes to add some sparkle to your home while staying cozy.

1. Toilet troubles 

We’ve all heard the saying ‘out of sight, out of mind’ – but when it comes to toilets, it’s more like ‘out of nose, out of mind’. One of the quickest ways to freshen up your home is by starting with the bathroom. And the best part? It’s a ‘place it and forget it’ job.

Yes, I’m talking about the Evolve Cistern Block. Just pop one into your cistern and let it work its magic – keeping unwanted smells at bay.

Want to take it off your to-do list for even longer? Use the Sani-Klo device – it holds the block in place and extends its life to 6–12 weeks, depending on how often you flush.

After everything your toilet’s been through – from fiery meals to flu seasons – giving it a little backup is just good manners.

⏱ Estimated time: 5 minutes

2. Door handles and light switches: The touchiest subject in your home 

You swear that when you moved in, the door handles weren’t matte. And those light switches? They definitely weren’t brown. Right?

Right. They weren’t.

They’re the unsung grime collectors – touched dozens of times a day and quietly gathering bacteria like it’s their full-time job. Bleh.

But enough is enough.

Just spray Evolve All-Purpose Spray onto a cloth, give those switches and handles a quick wipe, and suddenly your space feels fresh again – like a low-effort makeover.

For tougher, stuck-on grime, dab a bit of Evolve Power Clean onto the cloth (never directly on the surface!) and wipe it away with ease.

⏱ Estimated time: 2 minutes per switch

3. Newsflash: Your plants don't like dust

Plants quietly breathe life into a home – not just by looking great, but also by improving air quality. Even the hardiest ones need a little TLC.

To give your leafy friends a little love, here’s how to use Super Clean safely on plants:

• Grab a soft cloth
• Take 50ml of already-diluted Super Clean from the 750ml Super Clean spray bottle (The yellow bottle).
• Dilute it further with about 400ml of water
• Gently wipe the leaves clean

This mix also helps with that annoying white powdery fungus that often shows up uninvited. Leaf it to your plants to brighten the room – just don’t forget to return the favour.

Important: Do not use Power Clean (the white one) on plants. Super Clean is tested and safe to use as per our above instructions.

⏱ Estimated time: 10–15 minutes depending on the number of plants you have in your home.

4. The collection in the corner 

What’s hiding in your corners? Dust bunnies? A 10c coin? A piece of bread from 10 years ago? Before another corner bites the dust, take a dustpan, sweep it out and reclaim your space. No more wondering what your toe just touched in the middle of the night.

⏱ Estimated time: 10 minutes

5. Time for a fridge refresh  

Have you ever stood by the fridge as a kid, mesmerised by the glow of that little light? You'd close the door, only to peek back to see if it stayed on, as though somehow it held the secrets of the universe.

Fridges have always fascinated us – probably because food does too. Food holds memories, and fridges keep those memories fresh. So, why not give the fridge a refresh?

A quick shelf wipe with a Evolve Hand and Surface Sanitizer spray doesn’t just tidy up – it makes those fridge moments even better next time you open the door.

⏱ Estimated time: 20–25 minutes

As easy as that!

An equivalent of two episodes of Gossip Girl later and your home smells of essential oils, the dust bunnies that once lurked in the corners are now history and your bathroom is no longer a biohazard zone – all from the comfort of your gown.

But as much as we love these cozy moments, winter's just getting started – and we haven’t even begun to tackle the dreaded laundry during these cold, rainy months. Stay tuned for our next blog, where we’ll be sharing tips to help you beat the winter laundry blues.
