Pros
-
Cleaners come in "milk cartons"

Already comes pre-mixed and thicker then drop tablets

Some of the paper cartons have "plant-based" plastic lids.
-
They don't fully explain what the carton is made out of

It's a bit pricey and have to buy a certain amount to get free shipping
Rating

The use of paper cartons is a good concept but many people, (such as myself), don't have recycling services near by.

I think this is a easy to use product but downside is that it's only sold in the UK. Hopefully they will be able to ship to other places in the near future.

I understand the company is trying their best to make things sustainable,
but they are very aggressive with trying to rope you in with free stuff in the beginning then there's a bunch of fees when you check out.
