  • Steps Towards a Natural Kitchen

Steps Towards a Natural Kitchen

 
The heart of the home, where we gather, prepare, and (in my household) also eat our meals.  It makes sense to make this area a natural haven, free from chemicals and plastics as much as possible.  Here is some information, resources and tools to help move towards a practical, natural and beautiful kitchen.

Natural Olive Oil Dish Wash - This dish wash is made using all natural ingredients - no harsh chemicals, dyes or synthetic preservatives.  This makes it especially good for use on baby bottles and children's dishes.  It has an olive oil soap base, meaning it is great for use if you have sensitive or dry skin.

There aren’t as many soap suds…and that’s ok!
There's a commonly held belief that seeing the bubbles of a dishwashing liquid means it is working (with many large commercial manufacturers even adding in chemicals to create bubbles and foam).  However the belief that bubbles mean a dishwashing liquid is working is a myth!

Dishwashing liquids clean your dishes by using surfactants (surface-active-agents).  These are compounds that, when added to water, reduce the surface tension of water molecules, allowing cleaning agents to penetrate and dissolve dirt on the surface of your dishes.  It is the soap (or saponified) molecules that are the surfactants doing the cleaning.
 
Tools for a natural kitchen
Vintage Wash Tea Towel $22
A kitchen essential. Practical and beautiful for the heart of your home, these are flat woven on one side and have a soft short terry back, making them super absorbent and ready to get to work!
Dishcloth $8
A flat knit dishcloth with open weave and yellow stripe. Absorbent and strong.
Herb Drier $41

This simple and classical herb drier enables you to enjoy herbs year round. Simply tie a bunch of herbs to the forged hooks in a dry airy space. Great for the bunches of fresh herbs that always seem to be left over.
Clean Green ($14.95) shows you how to tackle each cleaning task in a natural way. From laundry detergent and furniture polish to stain remover and air freshener, all the recipes in this book are quick and simple and, most important of all, they work!

Mushroom brush $13

Mushrooms can lose taste, even valuable nutrients when washed under water - it's better to remove the dirt using a brush. 100% sustainable and biodegradable. 

Butter Dish $26

This is beautiful to use and helps reduce waste - no more need for plastic margarine or butter containers!
Vegetable Brush $10

A classic brush, made in Germany, for cleaning carrots, parsnips and other root crops from your garden.

 
Pot & Pan Brush $11.90

Designed for your toughest cleaning jobs, this ergonomically designed beechwood brush will soon become your favourite tool for getting your dish washing done in a snap!

 
Our kitchens are ground zero when it comes to food waste, excess packaging and confusing ethical choices. What you buy, cook and eat has a much bigger impact than the bag you carry it in. Inspiring, practical and above all simple, The Less Waste No Fuss Kitchen is designed for busy people who want to make changes without rethinking their whole lives. 

$29.95
