  • Enviro Friendly

    We just purchased our first home and it has a septic tank. I am used to these tanks from my parents house, but never really had to look at the products I used too closely as I never did the buying of environmentally friendly cleaning products.
    I was so happy to be selected and have loved the results. I wasn’t sure I would get the same performance as the full chemical products, but I got those results and more.
    I love how they smell and they really worked quite well given my expectations.

  • It’s good for you and good for the earth.

    Since having my little babe I have been far more conscious about the products I use in our home. We have been using the eco store laundry and kitchen range for some time now and have been so impressed by these plant based products. They clean so well and are not exposing us to harsh chemicals that are found in most cleaning products. We love the eco store range and will continue using all these products because we know that they’re not only safe for us but safe for our planet.

  • Cleaned of sticky, burnt on honey soy!

    The dishwashing liquid works wonders! While I do have a dishwasher, some things just either don’t fit or can’t go in it. I used the ecostore dishwashing liquid and it worked a treat. In particular last night when I had a pan covered in sticky honey soy. It came of easily. I’ll definitely use these products again. I’m always on the lookout for new natural products and these are great

  • Planet friendly & does the job!

    We used the Ecostore dishwashing liquid to clean the dishes, oven and other kitchen appliances. Very impressed with the cleaning and discovered that a little goes a long way. Also I feel better letting my little ones do the dishes knowing that Ecostore is safe for sensitive skin, particularly with the harsh winter weather.
    Certainly a brand I will be buying once my trial products finish.

  • The Liquid is ‘toddler-loves-mess proof’

    The Dishwashing liquid had already made its way into a permanent fixture on my shopping list and today it further cemented it.
    I left the liquid on the sink (not thinking) and came back to find it missing and my toddler pouring it in the bathtub to ‘make a bubbLe bath’. Lucky for me by using the liquid it doesn’t get overly bubbles and was an absolute dream to clean it all out of the bath! No excess of bubbles forming like when you use bubble bath!
    Also my bathtub now smells lovely from it!
    Not your typical review but when you have a mischievous bubble bath obsessed tot, this is definitely a useful thing to learn.

  • A clean home without all the nasties!

    The dishwashing liquid was amazing, such a clean citrus scent and left my dishes spotless, almost made doing the dishes enjoyable watching how sparkling everything was coming out! The bubbles stayed for almost 30 minutes later as I had to leave the dishes to feed a baby which has never happened before so another huge win!

  • Eco store Eucalyptus Laundry Liquid did a great job on our families clothes!

    I am a mum of 3 little rascals that love to play in the dirt! However they are fussy with the smell of the laundry liquid! Ecostore Eucalyptus Laundry Liquid ticked all my boxes as it was FABULOUS on the dirty clothes & stain removal & smelt SO lovely! I highly recommend this laundry liquid!

  • The bottle says it all...

    I’m no scientist but I know it’s important to make positive choices for our future, our planet’s future. This product promises “no nasties”, which sparks the thought, what have I been using in the past? There is a lot of information on the bottle, including “All detergents have an effect on the environment.” I feel this is a very honest statement and leads me to trust this company, their intentions to look after the environment seem genuine, even the packaging is raw snd honest. If you can’t find it easily on your supermarket shelf (I had a little trouble) it may not be at eye level. I had never tried this range before the review but I’ll be sure to look for it next time I need to restock!

  • Fantastic laundry liquid

    The Ecostore Laundry Liquid was easy to locate on the shelf at my local Woolies with its distinctive minimalist packaging.

    The liquid has a fresh Eucalyptus scent. I love that it’s phosphate and optical brightener free so that my clothes don’t wear out so quickly and the grey water is safe for garden use.

    I found that it removes stains better than other eco laundry liquids I’ve used.

  • Not my favourite

    These products weren’t really great for us. I felt good knowing that they were safer for my family and the environment and I really wanted to like them but I just didn’t really like them. I found that the laundry products just weren’t strong enough to properly clean our clothes. My partner has a messy job and our clothes are usually very smelly at the end of the day. I just found that they didn’t smell fresh after washing. I also found the kitchen products not to my liking as I prefer the house to smell clean and fresh after cleaning and these products just don’t have a strong fragrance. My mum loves them though as she is very sensitive to fragrances.

  • Great products

    The ecostore products are fantastic. They clean really well, and an added bonus is they are good for the environment. They come in really nice packaging so I don’t mind them being left out in the kitchen. I use the laundry products for my children’s clothing, and it’s gentle on their skin and smells fantastic. I find it a little more on the expensive side, but every time they are on sale at Woolworths I stock up. Once you start using this product it’s hard to swap to anything else!

  • Great multi purpose cleaner

    We have been pleasantly surprised by the multipurpose cleaning spray. It had worked wonders on common surfaces to leave a nice fresh space. With children around I appreciate the non-harsh nature of ecostore. And also with a septic we are only meant to put more natural products down our sink so It helps using eco friendly products.

  • Rebuy and reccommend ecostore

    Received these as we were leaving to go to a Resort holiday. Came home with all our holiday washing and having to cook and clean for ourselves. My ecostore products were sitting on the bench waiting so it was a good time to try and trial, Used both products with delightfully unexpected results. Clothes were spotlessly clean and fresh smelling and all cooking and eating implements sparkling and drying as placed on rack, I will definitely buy these products again and recommend them to others

  • Environmentally Friendly Cleaning

    I am really liking the Antibacterial Multi-purpose Cleaner!
    It has a natural Citrus scent and effectively cleans all surfaces.
    I love the look and feel of the

    I will definitely be continuing to buy these products because it makes me feel good knowing that I am keeping my family safe while keeping our home clean!

    This is an amazing range, it’s gentle on my skin when we use it and I can trust it is better for the environment and better for us.

  • Ecofriendly, kid friendly, pet friendly, does the job it’s meant to do. Big win.

    4 out of 5 stars

    I would like to thank Mouths of Mums for selecting me to be a reviewer of this product.

    And I apologise for a delay in this review as life, family, and illness unexpectedly got in the road. I mean, they’re always there, but not usually as jumbled up as it became. :-D I won’t go into details here, as not useful to the review, but if anyone ever wants to hire me to write freelance articles on raising three neuro diverse kids, while being neuro diverse yourself, also juggling chronic nerve pain and Adenomyosis … THEN I can go into detail. ;-)

    Back to the review!

    Because I’m posting it not just on their website, but on my own, I will go with my usual open and honest ways. So will start by saying that although I’ve been buying and using the Ecostore brand for a couple of years now, this was the first time I had bought and used the dish liquid.

    As mentioned in my review of the Ecostore laundry liquid I love the Ecostore brand, as there’s the “no nasties” – so no sulphates, optical brighteners, fake scents, and all that gunk. Not containing these ingredients is important to my family for a few reasons. Firstly, as we are doing our best to be environmentally sustainable so try and choose products that are only plant based, natural, and not containing any nasties (including ones that can be listed as “natural).

    So I won’t rave on about how amazing the whole Ecostore brand is again in this review, instead I will just focus on the dish liquid. And I have to say it is well worth buying.

    My family eat a lot of whole foods either slow cooked or roasted… so get baked on grime on our trays and pans. Add to that we love turmeric, tomato, and other foods great at leaving stains so we need a dish liquid that is not only good at removing grime and stains, but doing so in “no nasties” way. Guess what? Ecostore dish liquid for the win! :-)

    And, better yet, the dish liquid does it with minimal fuss, scrubbing or time wasting. I mean, yes, to wash things you often need to soak them first and apply a bit of elbow grease – along with the dish liquid – but with Ecostore dish liquid you don’t need to apply a LOT of soaking, nor elbow grease to get a clean and shiny result.

    None of us want to spend hours in the kitchen, or spend seconds with a chemical nasty liquid you need gloves to use… so it was great to see Ecostore dish liquid so efficient in cleaning. No fuss, no froth, job done.

    One thing I do want to point out (after mentioning no froth) is that there is minimal excess of bubbles with Ecostore dish liquid. Meaning you don’t need to see a sink that consists of a little water and a tonne of bubbles to know it is cleaning your dishes. I, personally, hate over frothy dish liquids, so am glad of minimal froth.

    BUT! Do you know what makes the froth in detergents? Most common ingredient is palm oil. Yes, a modern day swear word in a lot of eco-friendly circles. And Ecostore dish liquid does indeed contain palm oil.

    HOWEVER – please keep reading – Ecostore is following the very valuable path of certified sustainable palm oil. They are open and honest about this and, in all honesty, certified sustainable palm oil is a much more ethically friendly way to palm oil than to ban it all together. I won’t turn this into a palm oil debate… but yes, the dish liquid contains it… your choice as to whether you now buy it. Me? I would, based on my research into certified sustainable palm oil.

    Okay… so it cleans, it does it without too much fuss or elbow grease, it isn’t all bubble and no clean, and it contains palm oil. What else?

    Well, thanks to the “no nasty” chemicals, there’s no tinny/ chemical taste to your dishes! I know this sounds odd, but your dish cleaning products do leave chemical residue on your plates, cups, and flatware, which you can then taste. Well, I know I can. I can also taste it when you use vinegar as your rinse aid, so maybe I am just weird. :-D

    But with Ecostore, I can clean out a cup stained with my morning cuppa, and then drink water from it with no added flavour. A huge win for a household of sensory people where scent, taste, appearance, and texture can affect them eating or drinking! So if you have similar sensory issues in your home, please consider Ecostore dish liquid!

    And with no nasty chemical residue taste… I feel perfectly happy to not only wash my children’s dishes with it, but our fur and feather babies’ dishes too. As pets can be more sensitive to chemical cleaners than we are, it’s good to have a dish liquid that can be used to clean our dishes as well as their own.

    So – Ecostore dish liquid is a huge win in this house as it ticks so many helpful boxes.

    Would I recommend this product to others?

    Yes I would, for all of the reasons above. If you’re looking for a truly environmentally friendly product, which really does clean, is safe around pets and kids, and contains no nasty chemicals… then this is the product for you.

    Would I buy this product myself?

    Yes I would but not necessarily as my first choice. As mentioned at the start, this was the first time I used it as I usually use a different “eco-friendly” dish liquid. And the reason I might choose the other cleaner over Ecostore is simply due to the bottle top. The other brand is a pop-top, and for me very easy to open one handed. I did struggle with opening the Ecostore’s flip-top one handed. This is a personal thing and does not affect the quality of the product in any way.

    In summary: Ecofriendly, kid friendly, pet friendly, does the job it’s meant to do. Big win.

  • Sudsy earth friendly dishwashing liquid!

    I was really pleased at how well this dishwashing liquid cleaned we usually use a concentrated brand at home so this was a change but a good one, this liquid has a pleasant lemon fragrance, cleans just as well as any other brand name dishwashing liquid I’ve ever used, leaves no residue or soapy buildup on dishes and it’s good for the environment to boot.
    You can’t go wrong really! We will buy again.

  • My new go-to brand

    I love love love the laundry liquid. After a couple of washes with it my clothes feel much softer (without using any softener)!
    The scent is light and not over powering and stains (from toddler and baby) come off after one wash without pre-treatment.
    Both my toddler and baby have eczema and this laundry liquid did not irritate their skin at all.
    The dishwash liquid is also my new favourite as it does not have a strong chemical smell and cleans off grease better than I expected. Will definitely be making these my go-to products from now on!

Firstly after using the laundry liquid my clothes and all washing came out spotlessly clean, removing all dirt, and even old stains I thought would never come out, tried other products without success, very impressed, using only a cap or two, washing is all clean, and the lovely fragrance leaves everything smelling so fresh too..
    This dishwashing liquid was just great, a small squeeze and perfectly clean dishes, nice and sudsy, smells fresh, and seems gentle on my hands, a little embarrassed to admit my dishes have never looked so shiny.. Very impressed..
    I will definitely purchase both again, and very happy to recommend both..

  • Safe and reliable

    I have not had a dishwasher for several years so I know how important it is to have washing products that actually work. These products are amazing both in the kitchen and in the laundry. The dish liquid delivers good sud levels and cleans well but my favourite product is the eucalyptus laundry product. It cleans clothes so well and leaves a lovely fragrance. And if you have any idea what goes through our laundry you’d now we need products that work! Great value for money, great for the environment from a trusted brand. Win win win!

  • Lovely fragrance

    I loved using the ecostore laundry and kitchen range products. They smell lovely and fresh and left my kitchen sink smelling clean. These products worked as they were supposed to. I appreciate the commitment that the ecostore company has to minimising detriment to our environment.After trialling these I also bought the ecostore dishwashing powder to try in our dishwasher. That has made a big difference to the smell of our dishwasher. It never smelt very pleasant. After using this powder for a few weeks it smells fine :)

  • ecostore laundry and kitchen range

    Great smelling products that were long lasting not only in amount of time to get through each bottle, but loved the fragrance and that both products were made to be environmentally friendly and safe to use. These are important factors for my family when using any types of detergents.

    I would certainly recommend this product and will be buying them again in the future.

  • Safer for my family and yours.

    I noticed the difference instantly with the non chemical smell in the multi spray and dishwashing liquid and the natural essential oil smell.
    Love the fresh natural smell.
    Then I took a look at the ingredients compared to other brands.
    Was great to see all or most ingredients listed and natural.
    Got me thinking about a lot of products around the house full of chemicals.
    Great price range from ecostore.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
