THOUGHTS

I honestly love these products and totally recommend them to anyone wanting to switch up to eco items.

If the fumes from commercial cleaners containing synthetic chemicals make you feel a little ugh or you wish to be able to start making small changes for the world then cleaning products using essential oils derived from plants are perfect for you!

With all this collection you can breathe in chemical free air at home, sleep on sheets that have no chemicals lurking in the fibres potentially irritating your skin, wear clothes that have a soft smell of lavender and clean, have chemical free dishes to eat off and drink out of and eat fruit and veg whose nasties you can’t see have been rinsed away. 

Essential oils are all natural and biodegradable and many contain powerful antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties that make them remarkably effective at household cleaning PLUS essential oils from orange fights against viruses, bacteria, and fungus while imparting the loveliest of smells. 

You should go eco-friendly – as all natural products ensure safety from all dangerous chemicals and allows families to avoid risky additives that can cause any of these issues.

Using eco-friendly products improves quality of life in terms of mortality, age, diseases, and illnesses – they ensure the safety of families and the planet!

Price wise yes they are more than normal products, however, we all know natural products such as these will cost that slight bit more but these last long and affordable prices.
