With great sadness Merici College announces that Mrs Loretta Wholley will conclude her time as College Principal at the end of 2020.

Merici Green Tip #25 - How to make your household sponge better for your wallet and the environment...

It was recently pointed out to me that what I do at home is not common practice and that it would be beneficial to share this knowledge to increase the environmental savings.  So, I wash my household sponges in the dishwasher at the end of the day along with the days dishes.

Tips, tricks, life hacks... whatever you want to call them, they will reduce your environmental impact and save you money by keeping your household items working better for longer.
