About Kirby: A busy mum of two, active in her community and living with her disability makes deep-cleaning tasks painful and difficult.

The Challenge: Although Kirby keeps on top of basic tidying, heavier jobs—like scrubbing the bathroom, degreasing kitchen surfaces, spot-cleaning walls and thorough floor work—were triggering arthritis flare-ups. These tasks left her fatigued and posed slip hazards for her and the kids.
