  • 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.

  • Wow! Just love it

    My kids have sensitive skin and this little gem has stopped them itching & scratching when putting their clean clothes on . The bottle looks beautiful In my laundry to. The only downfall..I would love the bottle to be bigger. We are a family of 6 and the washing machine is operating daily

  • 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

    ecostore brand all while thinking about the health of our families and our planet!

    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!

  • Reliable

    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.

    The dishwashing liquid is gentle on my skin and it does it's job with my dishes. The dishes are squeaky clean.

    The clothes were nice and clean and I would use it again for my clothes.

    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!

  • ecostore.. Fabulous results..

    This laundry and kitchen range delivers the best results.. 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.

Article 7 Simple Ideas That’ll Save You Hours Every School Week

7 Simple Ideas That’ll Save You Hours Every School Week

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.

While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
