The Green Co.: eco-friendly cleaning for the home and laundry

The Green Co. is a UK-based online store that sells household cleaning products formulated to reduce plastic and waste. Its catalogue is organised into four main areas: laundry, surface cleaning, dishwashing and hand soap, with concentrated and refillable formats.

Laundry: detergent and fabric conditioner sheets

GreenSheets™ detergent comes in sheets packaged in biodegradable boxes, as an alternative to liquid or powder detergent. The company describes it as an award-winning product. GreenSheets™ fabric conditioner is offered in the same sheet format, with the aim of keeping laundry soft without residue or mess. Catalogue prices start at £14.95 for the detergent and £0.95 for the fabric conditioner.

Dishwashing and surface cleaning

GreenTabs™ dishwasher tablets are marketed as a concentrated formula delivered to your door that tackles grease. GreenTabs™ cleaning spray, plant-powered, dissolves in water to remove grease and dirt from various surfaces; it is presented as a plastic-free, vegan product suitable for daily cleaning. The catalogue includes a pack of eight spray refills for £12.95.

Hand soap and kitchen accessories

GreenTabs™ foaming hand soap is sold in a refillable format and, according to the company, kills 99.9% of bacteria while staying gentle on the skin. It is prepared by adding water to GreenTabs™ tablets and is available in four scents. The starter kit costs £14.95 and refills start at £7.95. The range is completed by cellulose and cotton dish cloths, sold in packs of four for £8.95, reusable, absorbent, plastic-free and compostable.
