Say Goodbye to Toxic Cleaners: What I Use for a Greener, Cleaner Home

June 09, 2025 0 Comments

Okay, this isn’t about skincare - but it’s something I get asked about all the time.

You already know I care (a lot) about ingredients and what we’re putting on our skin - but I also care about what’s in the rest of my home too. And over the years, so many of you have messaged to ask:

“Camilla, what do you use for eco-friendly cleaning?”

So I thought… it’s about time I just wrote an email about it.

Here’s the short answer:

🧽 SMOL.

And the long answer? Well… I’ve tried loads of the more natural, plastic free, eco cleaning brands out there. Honestly? Most didn’t stick.

Some didn’t actually work that well.

Some cost a small fortune.

Some only did one or two things and I still had to piece together the rest.

But I needed something that actually cleaned, ticked the eco boxes, wasn’t extortionate and could just turn up when I needed it.

Hello SMOL.

We use their stuff every day - the dishwasher tabs, laundry pods, sprays (kitchen + bathroom), washing up liquid, and their foaming hand wash too (confession: even though I make lovely natural soap, my kids are way more likely to wash their hands with foam 🤷).

And it’s not just about convenience - they’re:

    •    Super effective (like, actually clean things)

    •    Non toxic, vegan + cruelty free

    •    Totally plastic free packaging

    •    Lower carbon emissions than most supermarket brands

    •    Dermatologically tested and kind to skin 

I’ve been using them for years on subscription - no stress, no running out, no last minute dashes to the shop when the dishwasher’s already full!

And yep - I do now have a little referral link. I get a teeny kickback if you use it (thanks in advance!), but you know I only ever share things I genuinely use and love.

Give it a go - honestly, they make cleaning way less annoying, and makes your home more healthy and happy. PLUS it saves a HUGE amount of plastic waste!

And if you want to chat through which bits to try first or have any questions, just send me an email (camilla@conchus.co.uk) or drop me a DM on Instagram. 

Happy to help, as always 💛
