This eco-friendly cleaning starter kit contains everything you need to begin your sustainable house-cleaning journey. This cardboard box contains zero waste tools to last you years. And at end of use, all safely biodegrade or compost back to the earth. The box includes:
- A wooden dish brush
- A dish brush holder
- A replacement brush head
- A bar of biodegradable dish soap
- A pair of natural latex gloves
- A pot brush
- A scrubbing loofah
- Compostable cloths
Together, this box works out way more affordable, than if you bought items separately.
