Green Tip of the Moment

DISHWASHING TIP! Did you know that dishwashing by hand uses 15 to 20 Litres of water per sinkful? Instead of rinsing off the suds before placing them on the drying holder, invest in biodegradable liquid detergent. Skip the rinsing step - let your items air naturally. And the next time you use your plates, cups etc you know that you're not consuming any chemical 'nasties' as well as saving water! ECOSTORE's Dishwashing range are fantastic. A gentle, effective formulation combining simple mineral salts with plant based ingredients derived from coconut. Citrus oil provides extra grease cutting strength as well as a fresh clean fragrance. The natural blend of ingredients and mild pH are gentle on the hands as well as the environment. Economically concentrated - more than 60 washes per 500ml.
