This week I thought I’d do a little bonus blog about household cleaning. This isn’t exactly something I’m particularly passionate about! However I’ve come across a brand that I love which has definitely made me feel more interested in the topic!
Splosh
We started using Splosh in September last year. The idea is pretty simple, by creating a reusable bottle for household cleaning products you save on recycling. By creating refills that can be delivered through the letterbox you save on transport costs. The products don’t contain water so are up to 95% less bulky than other options on the market, reducing CO2 emissions by lots!
Through the letterbox
I have really enjoyed the ease of using Splosh. I order refills through their simple app which take less than 30 seconds. The package which drops through my letterbox a few days later is about the size of a DVD case. Each box contains enough refills for 2-4 bottles depending on the product. You pop the sachet in your bottle, fill it up with hot water and let it do it’s thing. The products smell great and we particularly like their all-purpose cleaner. I’m not sure the washing up liquid goes as far but they recently emailed to say they are working on that.
The Splosh range keeps growing and now includes hand wash, kitchen cleaner, fabric conditioner and lots more. The bottles passed the acid test of been approved by my graphic designer husband, and even I have to admit there’s something satisfying about the co-ordinated, non-shouty bottles lining up in the cupboard together!
Overall the thing I’ve most appreciated is their customer service. When they realised that the cap on their toilet cleaner wasn’t quite right they re-designed it and sent an email letting me know I could request a new one free of charge. Little extras like that make me feel like I’m dealing with real people who are passionate about their company being the best, real people who are trying to make a difference.
Cutting out waste wherever we see it is definitely something I am more enthusiastic about since starting this blog so Splosh get a big thumbs up. Reduce, reuse, recycle…
