This naturally abrasive cleaning powder will leave surfaces clean, shiny and deodorised. Use it to clean your oven, sinks, tubs, toilets, tile, grout and more. It's especially useful in the bathroom to remove water stains and soap scum from the shower. You can even use it as a stain remover for your laundry and to remove sticky labels.

Lightly scented with Lemon and Tea Tree essential oils.

Handmade in small batches Wales.

Instructions For Use:

Sprinkle onto surface, add a dash of water, then scrub and rinse. For an extra deep clean, leave on surface for 10 minutes before scrubbing. Powder can also be mixed with water to form a paste. Contains powdered hydrogen peroxide - do not mix with vinegar or ammonia.

Ingredients:

Sodium Carbonate (also known as soda ash or washing soda) is used as a builder in detergent powders and tablets for water softening in the washing process. It also effectively tackles dirt and works as a potent antibacterial. Its abrasive nature cuts through grease and grime and can be used to clean various items around the house.

Sodium Bicarbonate (also known as baking soda) is a very effective abrasive cleaner and deodorizer with antibacterial properties that replaces many chemical-laden, lab-derived ingredients in our daily lives. We use 100% pure, naturally sourced sodium bicarbonate that is environmentally sustainable with minimal CO2 emissions.

Sodium Percarbonate (also known as oxygen bleach) is made from sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It is an environmentally safe bleaching agent that offers many of the same functional benefits as liquid hydrogen peroxide. It dissolves into water rapidly to release oxygen and provides powerful cleaning, bleaching, stain removal and deodorizing capabilities in addition to being effective at killing bacteria, fungus, viruses and algae. It has the added advantage of having no odour and is colour and fabric safe. We use 100% pure sodium percarbonate.

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside (<5% Non-Ionic Surfactant) is a highly effective, plant-derived biodegradable surfactant that is also used to emulsify essential oils. It is ECOCERT Certified.

Essential Oils - Citrus Limon Peel Oil (Lemon Oil), Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil (Tea Tree)

*Naturally Occurring Allergens: 

Citral, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool

A quick note on naturally occurring allergens: virtually all essential oils and some natural preservatives include naturally occurring allergens that, according to EU legislation, must be listed on cosmetic and detergent packaging. All Lavender & Lemon products use <1% essential oils and preservatives and strictly adhere to IFRA and preservative regulations, so they should be safe on all skin types, but please be mindful that these naturally occurring allergens may cause irritation, particularly if you have sensitive skin. This information is shared for your peace of mind and the sake of complete transparency.

Packaging Information:

Shipping Boxes: We source our shipping boxes from a certified carbon neutral supplier. The 100% recycled and recyclable materials are also home-compostable and biodegradable. The vibrant sleeve is created with eco-friendly, water based ink. 

Aluminium Containers: Aluminium is the ultimate zero-waste, sustainable packaging. It's lightweight and, unlike plastic, retains its quality indefinitely no matter how often it is reused and recycled. It won't break if you drop it, and it won't rust, so you can reuse your bottle or tin forever safe in the knowledge that you are significantly minimising your impact on the planet. Furthermore, because of the intrinsic value of metal and well-established recycling channels, metal packaging has one of the highest recycling rates with a global average of 60% – 70%. In the UK, 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still used in some form which is fantastic because producing recycled aluminium uses 95% less energy than producing primary aluminium.

Product Labels: A lot of time and consideration has gone into Lavender & Lemon labels. Initially, we hoped to use biodegradable film labels across the entire product range. However, when we tested biodegradable labels on our containers, they began to lift and degrade (as they should) after a short period of time. Given this, they aren't suitable on a bottle or tin that is meant to be reused indefinitely. Biodegradable labels are relatively new, so future development of the material will hopefully increase its durability.

Next, we considered not labelling the reusable bottles and tins, but cleaning products are regulated under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulation and must be properly labelled.

That being the case, we needed to pick a label material that would stand the test of time and meet all regulations, so the black labels on our reusable bottles and tins are high-quality vinyl. They are weather and waterproof and will last the lifetime of your container no matter how many times you refill and reuse it.

Although vinyl is difficult to recycle (but not impossible - check with your local council), it's important to remember that an essential aspect of decreasing a product's environmental footprint is extending its usefulness by closing material loops. This means, if a material cannot be recycled, it's vital that it retains its quality so it can be reused, thereby decreasing the need to produce more material and significantly reducing its environmental impact.

Our purple refill labels are biodegradable and printed on certified compostable film with biodegradable adhesive made from renewable materials. In addition, they are certified to EU standard EN13432, which means the adhesive, label and ink breaks down naturally into water, CO2 and new cell biomass within six months and does not leave any toxic chemicals or harmful particles behind.

The benefit of biodegradable labels (when disposed of properly) is that they improve the soil's health and strengthen ecosystems. One important note: these labels cannot be recycled or composted at home. Please remove the label from the refill packaging and put it in either your kerbside garden waste or your food waste bin for industrial composting. Failing that, put the label in your general waste bin. 

We are working very closely with our label supplier to ensure our labels are as eco-friendly as possible while guaranteeing a quality product that can be reused and refilled for many years.
