conserve water, re-use your greywater
Improve the quality and usability of your household greywater by using our safer, healthier household cleaners and body care products.
What is greywater?
The household wastewater from your sink, bath, shower, washing machine and dishwasher is called greywater. Many homes produce up to 200 litres of greywater per person, per day.
It can be re-used on your garden or lawn or even to flush your toilet. Greywater varies quite a lot in quality and toxicity but in general the greywater from your washing machine or shower is of good re- usable quality.
By using greywater instead of sending it down the drain, you can save water, reduce wastewater charges and cut down on demand for water supplies in your area.
While we don't recommend re-using your kitchen waste water we do believe that - with proper care - the greywater from your washing machine and your shower/bath or handbasin can be safely re-used on your garden or to flush your toilet.

Health benefits
My granddaughter aged 11 has suffered from eczema since birth. Many chemicals later she is now clear of the embarrassing lesions on her fingers and body, thanks to your products.
Two weeks after changing to your washing powder and dishwash liquid there was a huge improvement in her skin and now 6 weeks later she has been healed. Well done!!!!! Brilliant products.
