Homethings-Our Impact
LET’S CLEAN UP.
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’.

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.
