The one with the laundry detergent…
Earlier this year I wrote a post about sustainability in plus size fashion. It’s… A challenge. Find plus size clothes in a secondhand shop isn’t always possible, and whilst I try where I can to buy via EBay and other plus size people, we’re still wading through years of only having limited options (mostly black, involving butterflies, or looking like a walking flower border).
So I’ve spent a little time looking at other elements of our life. We already get fruit and veg where we can locally, from markets, or our veg box. Similarly with meat and fish. Line caught/hand dived where we can. Free range always.
And late last year I started looking at other parts of our life. The little things. I’m still struggling to find a bamboo toothbrush that suits us (we’ve tried a lot), am struggling a little with soap bars etc with my sensitive skin, but one thing we did find was Smol – and we’re complete converts.
Smol offer laundry and dishwasher tablets. You get them delivered to your door, through your letterbox. Everything is recycled and recyclable. You tell them how many loads you do a week. They calculate how many pods you need, how much you need to pay and send them out to you.
It’s that easy.
So easy in fact that if we had a dishwasher, we’d probably go for the tablets too.
Even more importantly, we’ve never run out, I’ve had no skin reactions, the capsules are really effective, they smell gorgeous, and you don’t have to remember to buy washing liquid.
Oh, and you can get a free trial on their website.
This isn’t a sponsored post. We just really love what Smol do – so much so, I felt I needed to say so.
Now, if they could find a way to do fabric softener too….?
Is the packaging recyclable?
Recycled and recyclable too.
Recyclable where? Where do I drop it to be recycled? WIth my cardboard?
The white plastic casing goes in your plastics recycling, and the cardboard with the cardboard. The plastic meets the criteria, even with us in Trafford where they’re super limited!
I’m getting smol when my current set off washing tabs runs out. Thanks for the review Charlie.
Anytime. Had so many positive messages because people are either curious, or big fans already!
I love Smol! Did you know you can also send the packaging back to them to be reused? Brilliant company
I didn’t! Great to know!
We’re now on our third pack of washing tabs from Smol and absolutely love them. We find there’s no need for fab con either. I’ve even converted a friend on to them. As for your comment on toothbrushes, I also had trouble finding a decent one and found Holland and Barrett to have the best ones. I’m currently on the hunt for a good deodorant, I’ve not found one that really works. I’ve a manual job so need one that lasts?…
We finally found toothbrushes in Superdrug! Only just got them, so will see how they go. And I’ve not found a deodorant option yet, but I’ll keep looking!
