How does the refill scheme work?

You can buy 500ml glass amber bottles (don’t handle with wet hands) for everyday use (and retail sale). Then you can buy refillable items in 5 litre and 20 litre containers. Just return empties for sanitising and reuse, as simple as that! You can buy bundle sets to save money, with the refills included with your first order.

Use with one-time purchase pumps for easy use and refilling.

What’s wrong with conventional toilet brushes?

Most toilet brushes are made with nylon (plastic). So each time you brush the toilet, you leach microplastics down the pan and out to sea.

Most toilet brushes are also cheap so bristles flay off easily. If you do use one, choose a quality brand like Joseph Joseph (partly silicone and the bristles should stay put).

Toilet brushes are also pretty yucky, and not very hygnenic to use. You’re better off with a plastic-free cloth and rubber gloves and some eco-bathroom cleaner).

Where to recycle cleaning products

If you have some toxic products that you no longer wish to use, don’t pour them down the sink, as this can harm waterways. You can recycle empty containers with household waste. With bottles still containing product, your council should be able to collect via the hazardous waste department. The fact that this is where they should be taken, is good reason to switch to a more natural brand!
