When choosing an everyday home cleaner, it is so important to read the label and use the ingredient list to guide you. Most typical home cleaners contain a mixture of industrial chemicals that are cheap and good at getting the job done, but with no thought for the health of the user or the toxic effect on the home environment. It is these chemicals repeatedly released when using cleaning supplies that contribute to chronic respiratory problems, allergic reactions and headaches, amongst other health issues. Most chemicals used in typical home cleaners are not thoroughly tested for safety and New Zealand has poor standards when it comes to chemicals used in the home.
New Zealand company Figgy & Co makes it easy to choose cleaning products that are truly non-toxic. The brainchild of two mums from health backgrounds while on maternity leave, they advocate for cleaning products with ingredients that are long tested and known to be safe. When it comes to your health, what you are exposed to and what you do most often matters most. A great place to start is your everyday cleaners.
It is their mission to help you keep your home clean and your air fresh. Their thoughtful formulations bring together ingredients that are safe to use in your home as part of your daily cleaning routine, using only ingredients that are easily recognisable as those safely used for generations. You’ll find soap, baking soda and vinegar, formulated to cut through grime and scented with pure essential oils. Figgy & Co believe that knowledge is empowering and that when you choose non-toxic, detergent-free home cleaners, without the burden of unsafe or untested chemicals, you are casting a vote both for the health of your family and the environment.
When it comes to the environment, they want products that will drain away without harm to the planet. It’s important to the Figgy & Co team to help source safe and effective cleaning supplies from one place for a great price.
