Spring: Eco-friendly Laundry And Household Cleaning Products
Even though an increasing number of French people are aware of the impact of household cleaning on indoor air quality, 93% of them still use conventional cleaning products. To change this, the brand Spring offers eco-friendly laundry and cleaning products, packaged without plastic containers and delivered directly to your mailbox. Here's how it works.
Solid products that are more economical and eco-friendly.
The first promise of the French brand Spring is to do away with the numerous plastic jugs found in the cleaning product aisle.
Unlike conventional liquid detergents that are composed of 75% water, this brand's eco-friendly detergent comes in the form of capsules sold in recyclable cardboard packaging certified by the FSC (that is, sourced from sustainably managed forests).
This innovative and made in France brand sells you only the active ingredient of the detergent, and its capsules have a concentration four times higher than that of conventional liquid detergents. Therefore, even though the products are delivered to your home, their packaging, which reduces the volume and weight of parcels, allows for three times fewer trucks on the roads.
Formulations without controversial components.
In the cleaning products aisle, conventional brands display ingredient lists so long and incomprehensible that one might legitimately fear polluting their home in the attempt to clean it.
To address this consumer concern and offer "perfectly clean" formulas, Spring develops its products according to the requirements of the European Ecolabel.
This environmentally and health-conscious brand goes even further by improving the specifications of this label in two key areas: resource conservation and the absence of controversial components. To ensure the safety of its products for its customers, it has eliminated allergens, preservatives, endocrine disruptors, and potentially carcinogenic ingredients from its formulas.
A concept that revolutionizes housecleaning.
By developing robust products with a perfectly safe composition, Spring brand aims to reinvent the entire range of cleaning products. Its ecological concept, which is also available in the form of dishwasher tablets and household sprays, could revolutionize the way we clean.
The solid products, delivered directly to your mailbox, come with infinitely reusable sprays, to be purchased only once. You simply fill this container with tap water and add the effervescent tablet that concentrates the active ingredients to obtain a cleaning product as effective as the conventional product.
This new way of purchasing and preparing cleaning products helps to avoid a considerable amount of plastic waste. If you want to learn more about this responsible alternative to conventional household products, we invite you to visit the brand's website (link below).
Reasonable prices and a subscription system.
On the Spring website, you will find a Laundry Trial Pack containing 12 eco-friendly laundry capsules for €4.90. Even though the kit of 3 cleaning sprays is somewhat expensive (€29.90), the ability to refill these containers allows for long-term savings. The effervescent tablets cost only €1.60 each. In short, these innovative products are good for both the planet and the wallet!
Unlike spray cleaning products and their refills, the brand's laundry capsules and dishwasher tablets cannot be purchased individually. To have them delivered to your mailbox, you must subscribe to a service, specifying the frequency of your washes.
This information is used to determine the delivery schedule. The laundry capsules are sold for €18.90 for a box of 42 capsules. Therefore, this eco-friendly laundry detergent works out to 45 cents per wash, which is cheaper than conventional major brands, according to a comparison made by Spring in November 2022.
