Non Toxic Spring Cleaning with Kinfill

Kinfill’s Story

The Kinfill team believes homes hold great meaning for their residents. To create a cleaner planet, we must start with our actions at home. When we make thoughtful choices and take positive actions, we spark change. This inspires others to join us in creating a cleaner planet we proudly call home.

Reda Jouahri founded Kinfill to change the cleaning industry. He focused on reducing its environmental impact and promoting responsibility. Kinfill created a line of refillable non toxic cleaning products and supplies. These are 100% biodegradable and mix easily with tap water at home. This approach cuts out single-use plastic and avoids extra water transport. Kinfill is setting a new sustainability standard in the industry. All products use clean, safe ingredients. They are vegan and cruelty-free, too.

Why choose non toxic cleaning product and supplies?

Many cleaning products have harmful ingredients. These can be bad for our health and the environment. They often have toxic chemicals like ammonia, chlorine, and phthalates. They also contain volatile organic compounds, such as formaldehyde. These can irritate your skin and eyes. They may cause dizziness and headaches. In addition, they can lead to serious respiratory issues. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful chemicals. They easily evaporate into the air at room temperature. You can often find them in regular cleaning products. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. It can cause cancer and is in some furniture polish and air fresheners. You’re exposed to these chemicals while cleaning. They also stay on surfaces, especially in closed spaces with poor ventilation.

Long exposure to these harmful chemicals can be especially dangerous for people with health issues.

Non toxic cleaning is a win for your home and the environment!

The production and disposal of regular cleaning products can greatly harm the environment. Many chemicals in these products come from non-renewable resources, like petroleum. Extracting, refining, and transporting petroleum causes greenhouse gas emissions. Also, it releases harmful chemicals into the environment. This leads to water and air pollution, along with soil contamination.

When these products go down drains or toilets, they can release petroleum-based chemicals. These chemicals can pollute water sources, gathering in rivers, lakes, and oceans. This poses serious risks to aquatic ecosystems and wildlife. Most cleaning products are made from plastic, a petroleum-based material. This plastic can take hundreds of years to break down. Non-recyclable materials in landfills release toxic greenhouse gases. These include carbon dioxide and methane, which harm the environment.

Refillable Options

Something we love about the Kinfill non toxic cleaning supplies is their commitment to sustainability throughout all aspects of their production processes. Not only are Kinfill’s products plastic-free, but they also offer refillable options, a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to traditional single-use products. This significantly reduces waste by allowing you to re-use the same bottle time after time, saving companies the need to manufacture new packaging with each purchase.

This approach not only helps to reduce the amount of plastering entering our landfills and oceans, but also promotes a more circular economy where resources are conserved and reused. Kinfill’s Glass Forever Bottle speaks for itself! These refillable bottles are made from Italian glass and have been developed to be fully and easily recyclable, ensuring materials are properly disposed of and do not end up in landfills like many conventional cleaning products. The caps used for Kinfill’s refill vials are also recyclable. Refillable bottles encourage us to think more mindfully about the products we buy and the effect these everyday products have on the environment. 

The refillable vials couldn’t be easier to use… All you have to do is pour the entire refill vial into your Forever Bottle, and fill the bottle up with tap water. Twist the trigger spray back on and you’re ready to go!

Other Sustainable Swaps For Your Spring Clean

Opting for refillable and eco-friendly cleaning products is a great way to reduce your own plastic usage with the environment in mind, but there are also some other ways for a more sustainable Spring Clean!

Reusable Cleaning Cloths / Sponges 

We’d always encourage people to opt for reusable cleaning cloths that can be washed and reused multiple times, instead of using disposable paper towels. Despite being made from paper, disposable towels are not necessarily eco-friendly due to their single-use nature and resource-intensive production process. They are also often treated with chemical additives to enhance their absorbency, which can be harmful to human health and the environment, particularly when released into the air or water during their production and disposal. Choosing cloths and sponges that are made from natural materials such as plant fibres can be a great way to reduce your environmental impact. Natural sponges are biodegradable and can be composted at the end of their life. 

Donating or Repurposing Items 

If you are having a clear out of any of your old unwanted items, we’d always encourage people to consider donating them to charity or repurposing them for new uses. By donating or giving away household goods, it extends the lifecycle of products and is a great way to reduce the amount of unnecessary waste ending up in landfills. It’s a simple yet impactful way to make a positive difference while decluttering your home! 

Sustainable Hand Wash 

The annual spring clean is often associated with renewal and fresh starts. If it’s something you were already considering, It’s an excellent time to declutter your space and introduce some other sustainable, reusable products to your home. Kinfill’s refillable hand wash is a fantastic alternative to traditional hand washes which contain ingredients that are harsh or drying and filled with artificial fragrances. This Wild Peony Hand Wash is infused with plant-based extracts of chia, ginseng and shea butter, designed to hydrate, protect and nourish your skin. This formula is free from mineral oils and silicones. 

Kinfill’s Soap Bar Bundle is another sustainable alternative to conventional soaps. Included in this bundle is the Hand Soap Bar in Lavender Fields, a hydrating hand soap infused with jojoba oil and other natural hydrating ingredients. It contains antibacterial properties to cleanse and nourish your hands, particularly after a day of cleaning. This formula not only saves at least six plastic bottles due to its long-lasting nature and plastic free packaging, but also offers safe, gentle ingredients for sensitive skin. The Soap Bar bundle also comes with an organic shampoo bar and natural body bar!

Conserving Water 

Using our water consumption mindfully is another easy way to make your spring clean a more sustainable one! Practicing water saving techniques throughout your everyday activities is a great cost-efficient way to minimise your resource consumption and environmental footprint. While cleaning, consider using a bucket instead of running water from the tap.

Sustainable Reed Diffusers 

Conventional reed diffusers are not considered sustainable due their reliance on synthetic fragrances and chemical additives. These fragrances and additives are often produced using non-renewable resources and can emit volatile organic compounds into the air, which we are also exposed to. They also usually come in single-use glass or plastic bottles, which means once the diffuser liquid is depleted, the entire product is discarded rather than being reused or recycled. 

Kinfill offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional reed diffusers, which are thoughtfully designed to fill any room with refined scents. Their reed diffusers come with a 250ml refillable fragrance in a glass bottle along with a ceramic tray, and 5 natural bamboo sticks. Ethically crafted in Portugal, this composition combines glass and ceramic for a unique and durable design, adding charm to your space without compromising the planet. The Reed Diffuser in Flowershop offers a blend of bursting blooms, freshly cut stems, crips greens and crushed petals, perfect for a refreshing spring scent. 

We think these reed diffusers also make a great gift to encourage family and friends to opt towards living a more conscious lifestyle!

By integrating more sustainable products into our everyday lives, we can embrace a more conscious way of living while minimising our impact on the environment. Kinfill’s cleaning range provides an eco-friendly alternative to conventional cleaning products, while also ensuring we are not exposing our bodies to harmful chemicals, commonly used in traditional cleaning formulas. We thought a Spring Clean was the perfect opportunity to try some conscious cleaning products!
