Our exciting trip to the Clean & Tidy Home Show

Wow we had a fantastic time last weekend…

Setting up

Last weekend four members of our team travelled down to London for the Clean & Tidy Home Show. Arriving at the show excited we unpacked and set up our stand. We wanted our stand to reflect our eco-friendly values so we reused banners we had from previous events, hung up paper decorations and used wood craft boxes to display our products. We wanted it to feel friendly, inviting and reflect our values of sustainability.

Meeting our customers

We loved chatting to so many people who loved and used our products. It’s inspiring to see so many people care about making greener choices in their homes. Hearing from our long time customers about how much our products are making a difference to their plastic waste is the reason we go to events like this. We even met someone who has been using our products since our launch…that’s 5 years worth of cleaning bottles saved from landfill woo!

A great thing about being face to face with customers is that it’s far easier for us to showcase our fragrances. Watch our reel here of people reacting to the smell of our Sweet Lavender Toilet Gel. We also gave a demonstration of our new Sweet Lavender toilet fizz in action, showing people in how high it does foam and explaining the cleaning properties.

Making Friends

An unexpected highlight for us was making lovely connections with other businesses at the show. It was inspiring to share stories, exchange ideas and hear how other businesses are pushing boundaries in the household cleaning space. The days at the show are long and can be tiring so it was great to have fun neighbours on the stands around us who kept the moral high. Some of these connections we will be collaborating with over the coming months so keep your eyes peeled on our socials.

Winning Cleaning Product of the year

Without a doubt the highlight of the event was winning Cleaning Product of the Year! This award is a huge honour and as a small business this really does mean the world. Having our products celebrated this way isn’t something we will be forgetting anytime soon. We’ve worked hard to create products that yes, are sustainable but also that are really effective. Winning Cleaning Product of the year at a cleaning show where we were up against some really well known brands is a huge win for us.

What’s next for us?

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, cheered us on and bought our products. And a big thanks to everyone who has used and loved our products over the years. We really appreciate it!

With the momentum of this award and the encouragement from so many of you at the show, we are more driven than ever to continue developing innovative, sustainable products. We are excited to keep expanding our range and keep creating products that clean well, and are plastic free. Keep an eye out for new products coming soon!

Stay clean, stay green,
