Tradition Meets Modern Methods
Blending Past & Present for a Healthier Tomorrow
At The Prairie Home Services, we often get asked, “What makes your methods different?” The answer: it’s not just about what we clean with—it’s about why and how we clean.
We draw inspiration from traditional homesteading methods that have stood the test of time—natural vinegar rinses, lemon oil polishing, and garden composting—not out of nostalgia, but because they work. What makes us modern is how we blend these old-world principles with today’s green science.
Here’s how we bring the two worlds together:
- Our general cleaners combine the purifying power of vinegar and baking soda with biodegradable surfactants.
- For kitchens and ovens, our degreasers pack a punch with citrus oils and naturally derived solvents.
- We tackle mildew and mold with tea tree oil and hydrogen peroxide—a potent, non-toxic combo.
- Our antibacterial solutions avoid harsh synthetics in favor of thyme oil, a proven natural disinfectant.
- Stubborn calcium buildup? We use citric acid to gently break it down without harming tiles or pipes.
- In the garden, our fertilisers are compost-based, supporting soil health while feeding your plants.
- And for pests? We believe in balance—not poison—so we use neem oil, garlic spray, and diatomaceous earth to safely deter intruders.
Every product we use reflects our belief that what’s good for the earth is good for your home—and for you.
Join us in creating spaces that feel loved, lived in, and totally toxin-free. Because clean isn’t just a look—it’s a lifestyle.
