Why we love it

Bamboo Dish Brush: Stylish, and easy to use. Simply screw of the head when it needs replacing, pop it in the compost and replace with a new dish brush head.

Bamboo Pot Scraper: For the stubbornest of stains and baked on food, this pot scraper gets the job done. It's easy to use, and looks great in any kitchen, and does the heavy lifting so our other kitchen cleaning utensils look better for longer.

Coconut Scourer: Of all the ones we tested, this had the best shape to hold (don't worry its not as spikey as you might think!). This perfectly rounded shape also gets into every nook and cranny, and actually looks stylish in the kitchen!

Swedish Dish Cloth: Minimise the need for paper towels, dishcloths and sponges — replacing them with this one magic Swedish dishcloth! It's made from 100% natural fibres, 7x more absorbent than a paper towel and can be chucked in the dishwasher or washing machine to clean it.

– It's 7x more absorbent than a paper towel
– It replaces 17 rolls of paper towels (reducing your carbon footprint)
– Swap out synthetic dishcloths and sponges (which can release microfibres into the ocean every time you use them)
– It's made from 100% natural fibres
– 1 cloth can last 9-12 months saving you money in the long-term
– They are reusable for up to 100 washes
– The quick-drying properties of cotton and cellulose mean odours (and bacteria) are much less likely to develop
– They biodegrade in only 8 weeks without any negative impact to the environment

Dishwashing Block: This economical alternative replaces 2-3 regular bottles of dishwashing liquid, getting you one step closer to a plastic-free kitchen.

Use for a fresh, non-streak finish on your dishes. Enjoy extracts of lemon-scented gum and eucalyptus for their subtle but pleasing scents, as well as their powerful natural odour-neutralising qualities, for sparkling clean dishes.

Ceramic Soap Dish: Katherine's passion for ceramics shows in each unique piece. You will be sure to get comments on how lovely they look and are the perfect fit for our botanical hand soap and dish block.

What's inside

Bamboo Dish Brush: 100% natural, biodegradable and home compostable materials. Sisal Fibre, which is a by product from the Agave plant when making tequila - the perfect natural alternative to plastic bristles. Combined with an ergonomic bamboo handle with a protective finish of non-toxic Linseed Oil and a Jute Cord to give the option to hang the brush to dry between uses which extends the longevity of the dish brush.

Bamboo Pot Scraper: 100% natural, biodegradable and home compostable Bamboo.

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet, It can grow 3 feet in height in 24 hours making it a very environmentally sustainable material to use.

Coconut Scourer: EcoCoconut products are made with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified recycled Rubber tree's grown in a plantation. The bristles are made from sustainably farmed coconut husk's which is the outside of dried coconuts.

Swedish Dish Cloth: Made from cellulose and cotton natural fibers.

Dishwashing Block: Saponified Coconut Oil (Sodium Cocoate), Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Australian Lemon-Scented Gum (Eucalyptus Citriodora), Australian Lemon Myrtle Oil (Backhousia Citriodora), Australian Eucalyptus Oil (Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil)

Ceramic Soap Dish: These are made from Australian materials bought from an Australian clay supplier and glazed with recipes of Katherine's own making. No clay is wasted as any offcuts are simply soaked down before being reconstituted into a workable state. Then the clay is rolled out like pastry ready to cut the shapes. I love the humanity of each one being slightly different and sometimes revealing the marks of the maker.

Where it's made

Bamboo Dish Brush and Pot Scraper: Made ethically in China.

Coconut Scourer: Made ethically in Sri Lanka.

Swedish Dish Cloth: Made ethically in Sweden.

Dishwashing Block: Locally made in Penrith by mother-daughter duo at Shampoo With A Purpose. The first Australian company to encourage the packaging free display of naked soap bars, championing a minimal-waste brand all the way since 1983.

Ceramic Soap Dish: St Ives by the lovely Katherine Mahoney Ceramics. In a wooden cabin tucked away at the bottom of her leafy garden, Katherine creates beautiful hand-thrown ceramics. Every piece is unique, and a style we instantly fell in love with.

care instructions

Bamboo Dish Brush: We recommend that you store in a dry sunny position when not in use and allow the brush to dry out between uses to extend the longevity.

Bamboo Pot Scraper: We recommend that you store in a dry place when not in use to dry out between uses to extend the longevity.

Coconut Scourer: – Safe on non-stick fry pans
– Non Scratch
– Great on hard surfaces
– Easily removes mold
– Naturally Antibacterial
– Free from toxic chemicals
– Can be disposed of in the home compost, just pull out the wire before adding to your garden.

Note: Test all surfaces for scratching, although our products are marketed as non scratch some soft or low quality plastics have been known to scratch easily. We do not take responsibility if a surface is effected and we have tested 1000's of surfaces which are known to be safe.

Swedish Dish Cloth: This feels a bit like the airline videos of how to put on your seatbelt, buuuut — if this is the first time you've ever used a cloth in your life, you'll be glad to know it's very easy! Just wet the cloth and drop it on spills to soak them up, or run over counter tops and appliances in smooth zen motions. Chuck it in the dishwasher or washing machine once a week and it'll spruce right up. Magic.

Dishwashing Block: There are many ways that you can use it, here are a few methods we suggest:
- Simply rub the bar with your cleaning utensil, and wash dishes
- Grate and mix with hot or boiling water to make a liquid soap (great for re-using your existing soap dispensers)
- Leave soaking in a shallow plate, you can use the water on your scrubber, or pour directly onto dishes.
- For pots and pans with build-up and grime, grate a light amount then fill with hot water and soak for easy cleaning.

The bars are 100% natural and skin-safe, you can even use it to wash your hands when you’re on the go in the kitchen.

Do not use in a machine dishwasher.

Keep the bar on your sink in a tray, dish, soap holder or shallow plate. We love the way it looks on our Katherine Mahony's ceramic dish holders!

Ceramic Soap Dish: Please keep in mind that Katherine’s ceramics are all handmade so sizes are approximate and some variations in form and glaze makes each piece unique.

How do I track my order?
With every order, you'll receive an email notification with the details to track your parcel. You can also enter your tracking number here https://try.sendle.com/tracking

When will my order arrive?
Generally, we ship within 1-3 business days:

For all orders going to NSW approx. 2 - 5 Business days.
For all orders going interstate approx. 3 - 10 Business days.
For all express orders in Australia – 2 Days.
For all orders going to NZ approx. 10 - 16 Business days.
For all other International orders approx. 10 - 30 Business days.

The estimates of average delivery times are based upon information provided by our shipping carriers. For the most up to date delivery estimate, please check the tracking number found on your shipping confirmation email.

If I place an order that contains 'pre order' and 'in stock' items, will the 'in stock' items be sent separately? Can I split my order?

Unfortunately no. If you order a pre order item with in stock items, your complete order will be sent once ALL items are in stock. If you need to receive items separately, you need to place a separate order, as shipping costs need to be covered.

Please order carefully, as we do not split orders once they have been placed. However, if you've already placed your order and you are desperate for the in-stock item to come first (we get it!), you may be able to pay additional shipping to split your order. Please get in touch with one of our team members and they will assist you.

Thank you for your understanding.

What if I was not home when they delivered?
No panic. Our couriers will leave your parcel if they deem it to be safe. If not, they will bring it to your post office or local newsagent. Please check your tracking number that you received via email to see where you can find your parcel (don't forget to check your junk folder too!).

Waste-free, well functioning AND aesthetically pleasing :)

I would buy these products simply for the cool vibes they bring to my kitchen aesthetic! Then you think about, not only great they are to use, but how great they are for the environment, and you realise how wonderful these products are. Thank you Zilch!
