I have matt kitchen cupboards that show every fingerprint and mark and this amazing product cleaned them so good. The surface cleaner that transforms cleaning into a pleasure through scent and, looks after the environment. I would still want to use some of my more intensive (and yes, sorry horrible chemical ones) for baked on stubborn kitchen grime and stained surfaces, but I would happily switch to Counter Clean for everything else.

Our sanitisers all contain a number of essential oils that contribute to their beautiful smell and uplifting aroma. Because they are oils they left smears on anything shiny, eg windows, shower screen and laminate worktop. They wanted to create “something that really works, smells great, is natural, and, equally important, contains no nasty, toxic chemicals". I agree the bottles last about a week (also not an obsessive cleaner), and it’s no good for mirrors or deep cleaning but still find it good.When you’ve squeezed everything out of the lemon, be sure to keep the rind, it’s great for getting a shine on surfaces.

Three years ago, best friends Charlotte Figg and Purdy Rubin acted on a shared passion: to reduce the number of toxic chemicals and single use plastic we use to clean our homes. We wanted to create a bacteria-killing and moisturising spray alternative to the gels found everywhere else, a formula so natural that you could make it at home. Honestly has saved me a fortune and a shedload of plastic over time as I just keep refilling glass bottles I bought years ago, and DH still claims it’s the best household cleaner he’s ever used.It works by actively removing grease, grime and dirt along with bacteria, viruses and mould to create a healthy home. Hardly “plastic free” when the thing that does the actual cleaning is the microfibre cloth, so micro plastic shedding.

If you know you are allergic to naturally occurring allergens, for example Citral or Citronellol, we recommend you avoid using the product. My advice would be to not use these products regularly without a good reason, just as you would not take antibiotics for a cold. If I have people coming over just cleaning my worktops makes the kitchen small nice with minimal work. My partner never normally notices things domestic but actually remarked that the house smelled nice today. They mention that it smells gorgeous, leaves hands feeling soft and refreshed, and that it's kinder to skin.

Unlike mass-produced sanitisers with a number of toxic ingredients, our aim was to create a handcrafted product where each ingredient was picked with the aim of creating a one of a kind homemade product.

Of course, while you can make your own all-natural cleaners at home, there are some brands that supply them already prepared.Always have a lemon in your home, it’s incredibly versatile when it comes to cleaning using natural products. Our scented hand sanitisers are all handmade by Purdy and Charlotte, who have handpicked each essential oil to create our wonderful and uplifting scents. While the normal cleaning power was great I found it didn’t work as well on stubborn stains (much like other products I have used) or really stuck on grease. If I’m missing something I’d love someone to tell me, this stuff seems to get amazing reviews - it smells nice for a minute and is good on a not too dirty surface but smears mirrors but it’s not anything special that I can see for the money it costs at least. The biggest problem is, however, that antimicrobial cleaning products often act in the same way as antibiotics.
