Alongside its collection of stylish household items that includes items from sustainable suppliers, Nookary sells a range of eco-friendly probiotic refillable cleaning products. The collection of bathroom, kitchen and all-purpose refillable products come in a glass bottle to start and you can order pouches to top up. The beautiful amber coloured 500ml glass bottles come with 50ml concentrated formula, which needs in order to be diluted with water so a person can start using it. As the range is made with minimum preservatives and stabilizers you do need to use the diluted formula within three weeks for best results. You can choose from air fresheners, all-purpose cleaners, bundles plus starter kits as well as carpet cleaners.
WIRED tested: The Probiotic All-Purpose Cleaner in Sicilian Lemon, which we really enjoyed using as we simply loved the lemon and bergamot scent. There are in fact four scents in the range including ‘Beautifully Bare’, English Garden and Tranquil Moments that all leave the room smelling suitably fresh. What Nookary does well is offer refill pouches, which are sturdy enough to be sent back to Nookary to become refilled again and again.
Unlike harsh chemicals, a probiotic cleaner such as this is non-toxic and uses Bacillus bacteria. What all of us particularly like about this all-in-one spray will be that it can be used across the home cutting through grease and dirt on worktops in the kitchen and enamel on the particular bathroom sink. We tried the formula to clean the windows too and were impressed at how well it cleaned the dirt and left a gleaming finish. There’s also a rather lovely air freshener in the range and the very ample 500ml refillable pouch that will last you quite a while.
Pros: Stylish refillable cup pouches; excellent scents; effective and gentle
Cons: Plastic spray heads – although they can be recycled in end associated with life; once diluted make use of within 3 weeks for best results

The particular sponges expand with drinking water and have a softer part made from cellulose wood pulp and harder side made from dried loofah fibres. We were impressed from how well the sponge retained the shape plus fibres and we were able to use it for far longer than we would a traditional sponge.
