1. Are natural cleaning products as effective as conventional cleaners?
Yes—they’re proven to be just as effective. Many natural cleaners leverage powerful, non-toxic ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, essential oils, and castile soap, all of which tackle grease, stains, and odors effectively. Studies show that natural cleaning ingredients and products match or even outperform conventional options without harmful chemicals.

2. Are they safe for families and pets?
Absolutely. Natural products avoid toxic chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or phthalates, making them a healthier choice for children, pets, and people with allergies or sensitivities.

3. What are your key ingredients?
We use pantry staples and natural cleaners such as:

• Cleaning Grade Baking Soda

• Cleaning Grade Vinegar 9.9%

• Castile Cleaning Soap

• Oxygen Bleach

• Essential Oils (e.g. lavender, tea tree)

These ingredients are biodegradable, effective, and eco-friendly .

4. Do natural cleaners disinfect or remove germs?
Yes—ingredients like Cleaning Grade Vinegar 9.9% can kill many household bacteria and viruses, though higher concentrations and longer contact times may be required compared to harsher chemicals like bleach.

5. Can I make my own eco cleaners at home?
Definitely! We have simple DIY recipes in our eBook of Natural Cleaning Recipes that are cost-effective and empowering. Otherwise we have a range of ready made options on our website.

6. How do I care for my beeswax wraps?
Rinse with cool (not hot) water and our Castile Cleaning Soap, gently scrub if needed, then air-dry. Avoid heat (like microwaves or dishwashers) to maintain the beeswax coating.

7. How long do beeswax wraps last?
With proper care, they can last up to 1–2 years. Over time, they may fray or stiffen but can be refreshed by warming slightly or replaced when worn out.

8. Are natural cleaning products regulated or required to list ingredients?
In New Zealand, cleaning products do not require full ingredient disclosure by law—but they must include hazard warning labels if they contain powerful substances. Labels typically display hazard pictograms, signal words (e.g. “Warning” or “Danger”), and safety instructions, but you won’t find a full ingredient list on every product

9. How should I store natural cleaning products?
Store in a glass jars or airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from children and pets—similar to conventional cleaning products. Proper storage helps them last just as long, usually several months to a few years.

10. What’s the difference between regular Baking Soda and Cleaning Grade Baking Soda?
Both are fundamentally food-grade sodium bicarbonate, so the base ingredient is the same. However, our Cleaning Grade Baking Soda is clearly labelled “Not for consumption” and is packaged specifically for cleaning use. We take full responsibility for how our products are used, and labelling helps prevent confusion and ensures people don’t accidentally ingest it when using it for household cleaning.

11. Why should I choose natural cleaners?
Natural cleaners are better for your health & better for the environment. They reduce indoor air pollution, avoid harsh chemicals, are biodegradable, and support low-waste living. Plus, they often offer cost-effective, refillable, and safer alternatives to conventional products.
