FAQ

Are cleaning refills always more sustainable?

Not always. They work best when they replace repeated single-use bottle purchases and you keep using the system.

Should I switch all cleaning products at once?

Start with one product you use often. Changing at replacement time avoids wasteful overbuying.

Are these products medical or safety recommendations?

No. Follow manufacturer instructions and local guidance for safe household use.
