Homethings is a digitally native challenger brand in the Home Care category, a market worth over £6.5bn in the UK and over £45bn in Europe alone.

We have developed safe and effective formulas for household cleaning sprays in an effervescent tablet format allowing the customer to refill the same bottle using tap water at home.

Our refills are delivered conveniently through the letterbox and are cheaper than market leading brands like Ecover and Method. Our tabs are non-toxic and certified by Cruelty Free International and the Vegan Society. We are proudly carbon neutral and B Corp pending.

The Home Care industry uses billions of single-use plastic bottles annually and liquid based cleaning products contribute to some 800,000 million gallons of water being shipped every year.
