I’m pretty adamant about 0 waste - I mean where is “away” when you throw it out? Ironically to clean it seemed you needed things in plastic bottles. I’d read that you could use French soap for everything from dishes to shampoo and it left your skin feeling great. I also used soap to get stains out of clothes while in Colombia. It was harsh on the hands but worked great. The laundry soap from this company works great & my hands are happy! - also the service is not only good & quick but fun. Try it & see what I mean :). It’s all true. I’m so happy. I’ll never go back to plastic bottles.
