Are your products safe to use for kids and persons with allergies or sensitive skin?

Yes, the gentle formulas and natural ingredients make all products suitable for persons with sensitive skin or allergies. Our formulas were created to be gentle and nourishing on your skin whilst also providing a powerful clean.

Are the fragrances of natural origin?

No, our perfumes are synthetic to maintain a low level of allergens. Our perfumes meet the requirements for ”Bra Miljöval” (certification for “Good Environmental Choice). Natural perfumes often have classifications that does not meet the ecolabels of Svanen (Nordic Ecolabel) and Bra Miljöval. In addition, the natural perfumes have a high content of allergens.

How do I use the spray in Kitchen Cleaner/Bathroom Cleaner/Fabric Freshener?

On the neck of the spray you will find a small round button with an on/off position. When you receive the product at home the first time make sure you switch the position from off to on by pushing the button to the other side of the neck on the spray. Before first use prepare the product by spraying a few times before product comes up through the spray. 

Can I use the cleaning sprays on all surfaces?

Our Bathroom Cleaner is optimal for glass and gentle towards sensitive materials. The spray is very effective towards chalc thanks to a low pH-value. However, this means that you should be a little careful if you have, for example, tiles in the bathroom of limestone or marble that are sensitive to low pH care. It may be that the surface may become slightly dull when using Bathroom Cleaner, so please try carefully if you have this material in the bathroom.

Our Kitchen Cleaner is optimal for metal, but also fits well on sensitive materials such as plastic and plexiglass. It also works well as a window cleaner if you dilute the concentration a little. It has a higher pH value than Bathroom Cleaner so it also works well on natural stone materials such as marble or limestone.

Why do you not have an eco-label on your products?

Our formulas have a very high grade of natural and sustainable ingredients, which is stated in the INCI list. We have not found an eco-label that we feel our internationally established and at the same time puts the criteries high enough. We go above and beyond with our own criteras for a formula that keeps a very low CDV-value.

Why do you have warning texts and signs on your products?

The pictogram comes from EU’s CLP regulation about classification and labelling. The only thins this concerns is if your get the product in contact with your eyes. Eyeirritation has nothing to do with environmental impact. Some brands try to go around this but we want to be transparent that the formulas can have an irritating effect if in contact with eyes.
