Day 5 of our 12 days of circularity is about cleaning. We tend to want to have a home that is s**c and span for the holidays, and there are many options for what to use for cleaning products. Some circular choices you can consider include using reusable cleaning cloths or fabric rags instead of paper towel or cleaning wipes, you can use natural cleaning ingredients such as baking soda, lemon and vinegar instead of chemicals. You can also buy your cleaning products in bulk (including baking soda and vinegar) from refilleries in town, such as Canary Goods and . Feel free to share other tips in the comments below!

Day 4 of our 12 days of circularity is around fashion. Everyone wants to look nice or festive for special parties and celebrations, but that doesn't mean you have to default to buying a new outfit.

And if you must have a new item, consider thrifting or upcycling. I'm sure many of you may have your own tips and tricks so feel free to share below in the comments!
