Cleaning your home can really damage your health, no, it’s not just an excuse. All of the chemicals in the cleaning products aren’t very good for you, and guess what else? It’s not good for the environment either. So Frost tested some environmentally friendly recycled cleaning products.

Easydo are a company who are creating a more sustainable society. Their aim is to produce everyday products using recycled materials under the Ecoforce brand. They manufacture as many products as possible in the EU and all their products are between 50-100% recycled. All of the products are also inexpensive. So there is no excuse not to switch.

They stop things being made from virgin material and, while doing so, save the environment. Here is what they make…

Ecoforce Recycled Clothes Line. 20 meters length and 30kg break strength. 89% recycled. This is a high class, well made clothes line. It is also green, which I like.

Dishmatic Fill & Clean. This is a great invention, I really love this. The handle fills up with liquid then you just clean with the replaceable heavy duty sponge. It saves your hands. You can buy a three different refills and they all fit onto the DishMatic. The refills very easily click into place.

You cannot tell that the Ecoforce recycled clothes pegs are recycled. They are frost proof, have no springs so they won’t break, don’t leave peg stains and have a hurricane force grip. They come in different colours too. My clothes loved them, and the howling wind couldn’t win against them.

In the back of the packet Ecoforce says this; ‘Hanging out the washing is an easy way to reduce energy consumption. Each tumble drier load can release up to 2.6kg in CO2’. A brilliant reason to hang your clothes out. These pegs are also washable, metal free and have more grip than a standard peg. 93% recycled and are almost impossible to break.

Ecoforce also sell a peg basket. It comes with a 24 pack of pegs and is UV stable. 94% recycled. It has a handle, which is placed inside the basket to make it stack-able and save space. I love the design and how space aware it is. You can hang it up or have it on a shelf.

Ecoforce have a range of sponges. They are made from post industrial waste. They make the first scourer that is made from 100% recycled material. They are easy to use and handle. You can buy the heavy duty or the non-scratch one. They can be used anywhere in the house. I like the design of the sponges. They have a curve in them that makes them easy to use. They may be recyclable but they clean just as well as any other sponge.

Their scouring pads are great too. Very easy to clean with them.

They make quilted cloths that are ultra soft and made from a mixture of recycled cotton/viscose and synthetic fibres. They can be used on any surface: floors, glass, cars, wood, etc., They absorb well and do everything you could want in a cloth.

The quilted pockets trap dirt and they are machine washable.

Ecoforce dusters are made also made from a mixture of recycled cotton/viscose and synthetic fibres. They are 100% recycled and pick up dust like a dream.

The Ecoforce motto is: Ecoforce – eco products that work. They are not lying. Well made products, with great design that ease your conscious. Frost Loves.
