Our Eco Home Cleaning Essentials

Plastic-Free Washing Up

One of the first places we recommend looking to if you’re on a mission to cut back on plastic is your sink. Conventional cleaning tools like sponges and washing up brushes are made of 100% synthetic, plastic materials that when discarded will pollute landfills and oceans for thousands of years. There are lots of plastic-free, biodegradable alternatives that clean just as well so you can completely rid plastic from your sink area!

Here are some of our favourites:

Non-Toxic Cleaning Products

Refilling is a great option, but only if you have easy access to a refill store! We also believe it is important to ensure that the product itself you are refilling is non-toxic and as natural as possible, to protect both our health and the health of the planet. Chemicals found in conventional cleaning products can irritate or cause sensitive skin problems like eczema and even respiratory problems like asthma (Source: Tincture London).
