Find the resource behind an old Healthy Interiors link, or choose a practical starting point for your home. This directory separates historical references from new Simply Maid guides so you can see what each page is for.
Looking for the former shop or resource library? Healthy Interiors previously hosted books, paid resources, a room-assessment app and interior-design information. Simply Maid now publishes this directory. It does not restore the former shop, memberships, app accounts, purchases or consultations.
Find the resource you came for
If you were looking for… | Start here | What you will find |
|---|---|---|
The Smart Living Handbook | Authors, year, ISBN and an independent route to find a copy | |
A healthy-home checklist | A new Simply Maid worksheet for observations, household tasks and follow-up | |
CSIRO's $12 billion indoor-air figure | The historical reference, archived page and limits of the estimate | |
Everyday home-care guidance | Dust, damp, airflow, product choices and maintainable rooms |
The original catalogue changed over time. A link to it may have meant the handbook, a checklist or another resource. If the item you expected is absent, do not assume it has been renamed or incorporated into a Simply Maid product. The old library also covered subjects beyond the scope of household cleaning.
Plan a useful first pass through your home
Choose one room and write down what you notice before buying anything. “Dust on the bedside shelf each week” is a clearer task than “make the bedroom healthier”. “Condensation on the window after showers” gives you something specific to discuss and revisit. Neither observation diagnoses a health problem.
Use the checklist's follow-up space for the task, person responsible and date to check it again. Keep ordinary cleaning separate from a repair, a product question or a specialist assessment. If you share the home, agree which tasks each person can manage and keep the plan somewhere easy to find.
Our indoor-air guide helps you choose between source, ventilation and maintenance questions. The product-label guide helps you work through a cleaner's instructions before use.
Official sources to read alongside the guides
- Australian Government: Indoor air. Useful for identifying the historical Brown/CSIRO citation. Check the dates on its underlying references.
- US EPA: Improving indoor air quality. Explains the roles of source control, ventilation and filtration. It is US guidance, not Australian building requirements.
- NSW Health: Mould. Australian public-health guidance on dampness, mould and when to seek help.
- ACCC Product Safety: Chemicals and children. A household product-safety reference, especially useful when reviewing storage.
Keep the right detail with each resource
For a book, retain the title and edition. For a research figure, retain the source and year. For a household product, retain its original label and instructions. For a maintenance task, keep the appliance or finish model with your notes. That makes a future question easier to answer than a saved image or a headline on its own.
This directory was prepared with AI assistance for Simply Maid on 14 October 2026. Sources were checked on that date. It is a curated starting point, not a complete reconstruction of the former library or an endorsement by its authors.
