In this episode of the HerStory Podcast, host Kylie King is joined by the energetic Margaret King, an ENJO consultant with an incredible 15 years of experience in the chemical-free cleaning industry. Margaret shares her personal evolution from a “clean-obsessed” nurse who once relied on every harsh chemical on the supermarket shelf to an eco-warrior dedicated to protecting her family and the planet. She candidly discusses the “lightbulb moment” when she realised she could clean her entire home using just specialised fibers and water, sparking a decade-and-a-half-long mission to eliminate domestic toxins.
Margaret opens up about the realities of balancing a long-term business with family life, including the “not-so-funny” side of being a full-time granny to three toddlers—and the importance of setting boundaries. She reflects on her biggest professional hurdle: pivoting her entirely face-to-face business to a digital model during the COVID-19 pandemic. From starting a business at age 50 to becoming number one in the world for converting homes to “ENJO Pure,” Margaret’s story is an inspiring example of how passion and persistence can lead to global success.

Guest: Margaret King
Before I found ENJO I used every chemical on the market to “protect” my family from bacteria. My background is Nursing so it was all I knew, and I was also encouraged by TV advertising!
I felt sick after cleaning the showers with Domestos for up to a day later. I also had 30 years of the worst dermatitis on my hands and used to sleep with cortisone and cotton gloves on my hands every night!
A friend suggested ENJO, so I called a consultant and he came to my home and showed me how I could clean the shower with water on a glove and a drying cloth. Nothing else!
I had to share this with my friends so I hosted my own demo and got heaps of free products. Two months later after seeing the outstanding results, I decided everyone needed to know about these amazing products and how easy, safe and fast it is to clean with ENJO.
Now it is my passion and purpose to share it and my legacy is that my grandchildren have been conceived and are living in an ENJO home. They love using their own ENJO!
The benefits of ENJO to the planet will leave it a better place to live in the future.
