        Toiletries

        We are lucky that there are already lots of plastic-free alternatives for keeping ourselves clean.

        It is just a matter of trying them and finding the ones that work for you. Often plastic-free alternatives use far less chemicals, so it is better for us as well as for the environment.

        Cleaning

        In supermarkets you can buy so many cleaning products available for every job you could possibly imagine. Each of them tends to come in a big plastic spray bottle.

        Actually, the basics of cleaning are in two plastic-free products – clear malt vinegar and bicarbonate of soda (also called baking soda). You can buy clear malt vinegar in glass bottles in most supermarkets. Bicarbonate of soda is sold in cardboard boxes in Savers.
