Kleeneze’s Autumn / Winter 2010 catalogues are out now.  The new catalogues contain over 1,000 innovative and useful items for you and your home, including over 100 brand new products.

To get your copy of the new catalogue just submit your details and your local distributor will deliver one to your door.

A brand new recipe book has been launched by  Kleeneze with the help of award winning celebrity chef Nigel Smith.

The Ezecook recipe book contains 25 recipes devised by Nigel that range from simple everyday dishes to more impressive meals for special occasions.  Each recipe is presented with recommended products from the Kleeneze range that Nigel uses in the preparation and cooking of the dish. 

There is an accompanying DVD containing nine of the recipes from the book and a further 11 video exclusive recipes with Nigel demonstrating how to cook each dish.

Nigel said: “Kleeneze has a fantastic range of kitchenware products that are ideal for cooking and baking, plus lots of time and space saving gadgets that make the job easier.

“This recipe book is designed to give people a selection of simple, tasty recipes and show them the right tools to use for the best results.”

The book, which is priced at £2.95 (€3.50), is available through Kleeneze’s nationwide network of distributors.

A new study by Kleeneze has shown that a typical family can be paying 30% of its disposable income on the costs associated with simply going to work.

High childcare and commuting costs, added to the extra costs involved with eating out for lunch and buying work clothes, can amount to £5,796 a year per worker the research shows.

Based on an average individual net income of £18,897, this means that almost a third of a person’s salary disappears before they even get to enjoy it.

It seems that this fact isn’t being lost on the estimated 681,000 people in the UK who mainly work at home and are able to largely avoid these costs. 

Jamie Stewart, managing director of Kleeneze, says: “We have been able to grow by explaining to new recruits the many benefits of working from home, one of which is the financial saving that can be made by working from home. 

“This is especially true for families trying to juggle childcare commitments who can often arrange their time to avoid expensive nursery fees, or for those facing long and expensive commutes to work.”

Kleeneze are launching a new mentoring campaign to help over 50s fight back against the effects of the recession.

The move comes after research by Kleeneze revealed that 42% of over 50s claim that the recession has had a negative effect on their income, with 22% of those aged 55 or over suffering from reduced income from pensions and savings.

Kleeneze distributors across the country will be working as mentors for fellow over 50s who want to find out more about how they can start their own business.
