More than somewhere to park the car

Thu, Mar 24, 2011

With so much focus on outdoor living, the days when driveways were simply a place to park the car are now well gone.

Investing in the great outdoors is now so important as people are improving their existing homes rather than moving.

Galway-made natural weedkiller offers organic solution to weeds

Wed, Mar 16, 2011

Irish Organic Weed Killer was developed in 2009 by Galway businessman Oisin Concannon. Conscious of the dangers of chemicals to children and pets, he was looking for a non-toxic weedkiller in his local hardware stores. He discovered that no 100 per cent natural weedkiller existed in the Irish market and set about developing a natural Irish-made alternative to chemical weedkillers.

He then set up Irish Organic Weed Killer, which developed and launched Ireland’s first 100 per cent natural weedkiller in 2010 and is now one of Ireland's leading brands in the herbicide market. Irish Organic Weed Killer first entered the market with a one litre ready to use spray bottle and has expanded its range to nine pack sizes spread across three different products. With the introduction of a new three litre pack size in a handy ready to use bottle, a three litre refill, and a 100 per cent natural path and patio cleaner, Irish Organic Weed Killer has cornered the market. The company now also produces 10 litre and 20 litre sizes to cater for the amenity market.

Bee Green – professional garment care

Thu, Feb 17, 2011

Bee Green at Briarhill Shopping Centre (next door to KFC) is the first professional garment cleaner in Ireland to offer a revolutionary, safe, environmentally friendly, option for cleaning clothes. The 100 per cent non-toxic cleaning service ensures that your clothes are safely and thoroughly cleaned. Bee Green only uses detergents that are fully bio-degradable, making them good for you, your clothes, the environment, and future generations. And of course the most important point is that it is no more expensive – in fact when you take into account the broader benefits for your safety, it is a positive saving for all.

“As our service is so environmentally friendly, and as people are making conscious decisions not to use harmful chemicals, we did extensive research across Europe and America in search of a better and less harmful process than dry cleaners are currently using,” said Paul Langan of Bee Green. “During our research we accidentally happened to be watching The Early Show on CBS News in 2007. We were shocked to learn of some of the dangers associated with dry cleaning solvents such as perchloroethylene (PERC), etc, and the fact that several American states had banned its use. This made us think even harder and led us to do much research to find a safe and a more positive solution. I’m glad to say that we found it and that we can stand proudly on our Bee Green mission statement – our detergents are safe for you, safe for your clothes, and safe for the environment.”
