Easy Guide to Zero-Waste Cleaning

Just when you thought our cleaning products could not get any better, our range has had a glow up! Not only have we added beautiful scents to our entire range of zero-waste household cleaners, but all our products are now also more concentrated. This means less water, which is better for the planet! (And a little goes a long way with our products). More concentrated = less water transportation & CO2 emissions = less waste! Produced in Northamptonshire by a local family-run business, we think you are going to love our new and improved range!
