New Earthwise Whitener packaging

Here at Shop Naturally, we always smile a little when we see brands make more eco friendly choices with their packaging.  The Earthwise Whitener packaging change is the latest in a 'step in the right direction' with our natural cleaning products range.

Earthwise is a New Zealand based cleaning range that's stocked in supermarkets over there. In Australia, it's available in good health food stores. It's good to see a product that moves in large volumes in their own country is making an effort to change packaging. Up until recently, this came in a round plastic container. While it was recyclable, it's not a product that needs that kind of protection. The recent change is to pack it in the same way the laundry powder is packed, in a cardboard box and WITHOUT a plastic scoop inside. Rather than making you guess how much to use or to need to you take a spoon out of your regular cutlery draw and leave it in the laundry, it now comes with an Eco Scoop.

Your Eco Scoop is made from cardboard and comes packed flat in the box, requiring just three quick folds to turn it in to a measuring scoop. It will last long enough for you to get through the 1kg box which is estimated at 33 regular loads. Once you're done, both the scoop and the box can be recycled or composted.

For those with allergies or sensitivities and loved the original formula, this one hasn't changed. It's the same formula you always loved, just wrapped in eco friendly plastic free packaging.

Laundry whitening powders are low sudsing and make a great option for cleaning carpets. Mix in a spray bottle with some water and spray on affected area and either dab clean for spots, or wash over it with a home carpet cleaning machine. We don't recommend you put the solution in the machine,  but it can be sprayed on to the carpet prior. Please ensure you patch test before doing a large area.
