Mix began as great ideas always do. In a friend’s kitchen over a cup of hot tea. Neither of us could find products that had a small footprint on every level. That there had to be a compromise on some level, be it plastic, ingredients; there was always something. Our belief that cleaning shouldn’t be at the expense of the planet couldn’t be limited to just us. We knew we weren’t alone.We started off with infusing vinegar which was nice (and looked pretty) but in terms of cleaning, it didn’t manage to do the job on lots of things (though windows, hell yes!). And it still smelt like a chip shop when all was said was done, and so it was back to the drawing board.
Researching other options was been a huge learning curve, but what’s been eye-opening is the extraordinary degree to which Green Washing occurs. That when you actually look at each ingredient in your bottle of eco-friendly cleaner, at best it’s biodegradable, at worst it’s highly toxic to terrestrial and aquatic life, highly damaging in its production and often has incurred many miles of travel creating with it a huge carbon footprint.At Mix we promise total transparency. We have worked tirelessly to ensure every ingredient is sourced as close to home as possible, that each ingredients’ manufacture has the smallest possible impact, and most importantly that it’s impact when used has the smallest possible ecological impact. Our products are clean while they clean.
