Cleaning tools that are good enough to leave on the bench. Our cleaning and laundry collection brings together dish brushes, cloths, dish racks, feather dusters, laundry balls, surface sprays and refills, most of them plastic-free and made to last far longer than the supermarket version. Natural timber, cotton and stainless steel keep the palette calm, so the sink and laundry corner stay part of the home rather than something to hide.
Pair a dish brush with a soap pump from our bath and body range, or explore the wider eco friendly collection for more reusable swaps. Available online and in our Mount Maunganui store.
How often should I replace a dish brush head?
When the bristles splay out or stay discoloured after rinsing, usually every couple of months with daily use. Florence sells a replacement tampico fibre head, so you keep the wooden handle and only swap the part that wears out.
What is a Nawrap dishcloth?
Nawrap makes Japanese dishcloths, including a 100 percent cotton multi-layer weave that dries quickly and a 35 x 35cm rib cloth with binchotan charcoal. Use them for washing up and wiping benches, then hang them to dry.
Which dish rack suits a small kitchen?
The Umbra UDry Mini Drying Mat & Rack is the compact option, and the German Pine Folding Dish Rack from Dishy folds away when not in use. For bigger loads, the 61cm UDRY mat with a removable rack takes a full dinner.
Do you stock laundry liquid?
Yes. Ecoya Laundry Liquid comes in a 1L bottle in Lavender & Chamomile or Wild Sage. For bench cleaning, Good Change refill tablets turn warm water into a spray in a reusable glass bottle.
