No Liquid Things
We will never ship water.
Our Impact
The world is bonkers. A typical cleaning spray is 95% water packaged in a plastic bottle and we’re using billions of them to clean our ‘homes’. Even the ‘eco’ brands are selling us single-use plastic sprays, dishwasher tabs wrapped in plastic and laundry detergent bottled in.. you get the picture. Where’s the method in that madness?
It’s no use covering up the problem by saying “just recycle” (when only 9% of plastic ever has been) it’s time to Rethink What’s Under Your Sink. So we’ve made powerful and actually eco things that, when you run out, you Just Add Tap and keep on refillin’. Again + Again + Again.
Our mission is simple: powerful, planet-positive products that make sense, keeping your home (and our planet) clean.
No Single-Use Plastic
We will never use single use plastic.
No Nasty Things
We will never use harmful ingredients *see banned list *
No Greenwashing
We will never use claims that we believe to be misleading.
No Animal Products
We are always vegan + cruelty free certified.
No Unknown Things
We will produce our formulas with manufacturers in the UK and EU and know the source of our raw materials.
This year we're launching Carbon Labelling onto our cleaning products, starting with our refillable cleaning sprays and eco washing-up liquid. Rather than just offset our carbon emissions and call it a day, we've decided to take it one step further and do a full "drains-up" on our products, breaking down the carbon footprint of the product bit by bit. Our aim at Homethings to clean up cleaning isn't just a great tagline but also a commitment to be aware of our own environmental impact.

LEAPING BUNNY
Being a cruelty free brand means that you stand against animal testing of cosmetics or (in our case) household products on animals.
Homethings is a cruelty-free brand. We do not test on animals during product development or production - or allow any third parties to do so with our products. We will not sell our products in jurisdictions that require animal testing.
We hold ourselves accountable to being a cruelty free brand by certifying our compliance to the third party, Cruelty Free International accreditation standards, that are globally recognised as best practices for brands in regards to animal testing.
Certified since: September 2020
THE VEGAN SOCIETY

This includes, but is not limited to, ingredients such as honey, tallow, lanolin, collagen, albumen, carmine, gelatin, urea etc.
At Homethings, we use the definition of Vegan as provided by the Vegan Society. Our products have been proudly certified by their accreditation programme since we launched in 2020 and we are commited to ensuring that all products we produce are vegan.
