What our clients would like to tell you about our products, service and visiting our distillery.
Dishwashing Liquid
On a trip to Victoria several months ago, I purchased a Dishwashing Liquid from a Restaurant/Store in Gundagai. It is, without doubt, the best dishwashing liquid I have tried, in all my years, and there have been quite a few!
I no longer have a problem with my hands after washing the dishes, and I no longer have to use rubber gloves, which Ioathe, and of course, it does an excellent job of cleaning the dishes!!
As well, it has been very economical.
So it scores on all fronts!!
I also bought your Woollen Wash and that too is excellent, in fact, you make a very good product, keep up the good work.

Amazing Products
Dear Andrea & Paul
My husband and I purchased some products from one of your events and just want to say a big thank you!
I have tried the squish and yes, it "blows gumption out of the water", just as you said, Paul.
The spray cleaner is fantastic and I tried the shampoo for the first time this morning and really like it.
I am so impressed with the washing powder and I am only sorry that I didn't pick up some of the Aqua Fresh whilst I was there.
Thank you once again for a brilliant line of products. I never expected, in my 34 years of marriage, to say good bye to an old partner, but Gumption and I must now part ways.
Kind regards

Visiting the Distillery
Andrea & Paul
Thank you so much for welcoming us yesterday.
We had a lovely day (weather was perfect).
The talk by Paul was very informative & explanations & uses of products by Andrea was great.
I am sure all our homes will be spotless & smell great.
Having the fire going (great hot plate for our lunch) & hay bails a nice touch.
People who had not been up that way before could not get enough of the scenery.
Nobody complained about the roads, they gave the old cars a good workout.
Once again THANK YOU both.

Hi Bill & Janet
The pleasure was all ours to have you all the other day. It was indeed a perfect day and we are so glade that the dirt roads did not offend anybody and hurt the old cars. We are only sorry that we didn't get to spend time with each of you for normal chit chat.
Thank you all and anytime. Andrea & Paul - Yesteryear Plantations - May 2015

Goats Milk Soap
To Paul & Andrea
I was wondering if you could send me 2 pkts of Goats Milk soap.
We both my husband and myself use it and find it very good for our ageing skin (84 yrs & 82 yrs).
Our daughter in law from Queensland uses it for her psoriasis and it is helping her rash.
Many thanks

Dishwashing Liquid & Eucalyptus Laundry Soap Powder
Dear Andrea,
I would like to order some more dishwashing liquid and laundry powder.
I still have some laundry powder (rationed out) and a bit more dishwashing liquid left in a container.
I break it down with water in a smaller container.
It's is a great favourite and the laundry powder really cleans the sheets or pants - jeans etc.
Thank you very much.

Best Wishes & Happy Easter

Eucalyptus Oil Aroma
Dear Andrea,
Please send me 1 litre bottle of Radiata Eucalyptus Oil.
I did enjoy our phone call.
I have enclosed a cheque, hope it is right.
I will be able to splash it around the house & think I am back in the bush.
Many thanks for a great oil.

Automatic Dishwasher Powder
Dear Andrea,
I look forward to receiving my order!
I wanted to let you know that automatic dishwasher powder is fantastic!
We have a half size machine so we use 1/4 teaspoon per load.
I was finding it left white coating on the glasses but when I reduced the amount too much it didn't wash the pots properly.
I've taken to using 1/4 of your powder with 1/8 teaspoon of Morning Fresh dishwasher gel and the combination works a treat!
I'm recommending your products to my friends and family.
Thanks

Lemon Myrtle Soap
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for persevering with my phone message, & for taking my order for 2 x 1 litre bottles of euco oil and a box of your beautiful lemon myrtle soap.
And you really needn't apologize for the cost of the lemon myrtle.
How could anyone complain, when we just have to think of the magic of myrtle being grown, let alone harvested and then captured in lovely soap!
Keep on with your good works!
Cheers for now

Everyday Anti-Bacterial Spray & Wipe Cleaner
To make an anti-bacterial spray & wipe cleaner you will need a 500ml mist spray trigger bottle then add the following
5mls (1 teaspoon full) of Pure Tea Tree Oil,
60mls of Pure 'Dives' Eucalyptus Oil,
60mls of Methylated Sprites (Metho speeds up the drying time. If you do not have Metho you can use White Vinegar)
Next step is to have a smell of the mixture (your nose is the best indicator you have)
If you like the aroma, fill to the top with water.
Shake well before use and every so often to keep the four ingredients mixed.
This will give you the best of both oils with the dives eucalyptus oil as the antiseptic and deodoriser while the tea tree oil delivers it's great anti-bacterial and fungal qualities. It can be used in communal areas and on plenty of surfaces like kitchen bench tops, toilets, telephones, computers etc....
Very easy to use, just shake, mist spray then wipe with a paper towel or chux cloth.
TIP: Keep with the cheap spray trigger bottles as over time pure eucalyptus & tea tree oils will weaken the inside of the spray trigger head to cause leaking. Once leaking starts go buy or find another cheap one. Don't spend big money on spray trigger heads.
HINTS: When cleaning communal telephones and computer keypads spray mixture into/onto the cloth first then wipe over the surface.
Visiting Yesteryear
Dear Andrea and Paul
We are still thinking about our visit to Yesteryear and the magnificence of your piece of paradise!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Everyday Eucalyptus Spray & Wipe Cleaner
For a cleaner, sanitiser and deodoriser I use the following mixture for everything.
In a 500ml spray trigger bottle add
60mls of Pure Australian 'Dives' Eucalyptus Oil,
60mls of Methylated Sprites (Metho speeds up the drying time. If you do not have Metho you can use White Vinegar)
Next step is to have a smell of the mixture (your nose is the best indicator you have)
If you like the aroma, fill to the top with water.
Shake well before use, turn the trigger to mist spray and every so often to keep the three ingredients mixed.
This is my one and only quick house cleaner.
TIP: Keep with the cheap spray trigger bottles as over time pure eucalyptus oil will weaken the inside of the spray trigger head to cause leaking. Once leaking starts go buy or find another cheap one. Don't spend big money on spray trigger heads.
HINTS: I use this and paper towels to clean my windows, mirrors, stainless steel, grease off the cook top splash back & free standing range hood, bench tops (I have Laminex), tiles, front of the oven & microwave oven doors and white goods in the kitchen. I change to a chux cloth to spray & wipe any marks off kitchen cupboard doors, walls while moving into the bathroom to do muchly the same surfaces in the same way.
Been on septic I do not have toilet blues or any other toilet cleaners.
I only use the euco spray & wipe by spraying inside the toilet then scrubbing with the toilet brush, flushing then spraying all around the outside including the seat and lid then wipe with a chux cloth.
You can even do the inside of your car, leather/vinyl seats plus windows and mirrors.
A good pure Australian eucalyptus oil will not streak or stain, it's non-residual making it an excellent natural cleaner.
Batlow Day View Club
Dear Andrea,
Just a short note to thank you for your time yesterday. It was appreciated.
Everyone on the bus back to Batlow spoke of their enjoyment of the day and their interest in all you are doing.

Visiting Property
Hello Andrea and Paul,
Thank you for showing us your distiling place and property. We are impressed with your life surrounded by the great nature.
I hope that my daughter learned something from the experience.
The Eucalyptus Drops are very nice. Thank you for them. In winter (in Japan) I will order some from Japan.
Thank you for taking time to see us. I can introduce your oil with more confidence - the highest quality products come from family concerns I feel.
Kind regards,

Thank You For Your Products
Hi Andrea
I was at your plantation, a couple of weeks ago with the Batlow Day View Club.
I tried your hand cream and my hands felt so much better, for a day or two, and now I know why. You said that you come to Baltow on Tuesdays, and you could deliver some products if we needed something. I would like to have two tubes of hand cream with eucalyptus, peppermint & rosemary and also a tube of 5% tea tree oil cream.
Thank you and thank you for your products.
I am yet to clean my carpet with your squish product. Will do in the next couple of days.
Regards
Maria, NSW - June 2018
