When life gives you lemons…make your own cleaning solutions! (+ chance to win!)
by Biome team • February 5, 2013 • green cleaning, Spring, staff picks, the simple life • 14 Comments
If you are looking for a simple way to avoid chemical cleaners, as well as cutting down on your plastic waste and carbon miles, our Full Circle range ticks all the boxes.
Above: Our Full Circle range makes it super easy to whip up your own simple, effective and natural cleaning solutions. The Come Clean bottle comes with inbuilt juicer attachment and a ‘Clean House Green House’ guide containing handy recipes and tips. Also available, the Come Clean set which gives you 3 containers with stickers for different recipes.
Full Circle’s mission is to bring together stylish, functional products made from sustainable and renewable resources. And it’s not just lip service, from whoa-to-go they have worked to improve working conditions of the people who make their products, and have come up with cleaner manufacturing methods, as well as higher environmental standards. We love this quote from their website: “While there may be a finite number of resources in the world, there’s an infinite number of ways to use them more wisely.”
Above: Full Circles’s innovative range includes the Suds Up dish sponge wand (left) with bamboo handle finished with natural oils to better withstand water, replaceable and biodegradable cellulose sponge, and you can fill with your favourite soap (such as Kin Kin naturals dishwash liquid); (right) and Squeeze cellulose sponge cloths which are naturally absorbent and 100% biodegradable.
Lastly, one of the more recent juicy additions from this company has been their glass water bottles. They’ve carried over the inbuilt juicer idea into a BPA-free, glass bottle so you can easily get your 8 glasses a day by adding a little flavour to your water. All without any added sugar, cost and waste of prepackaged beverages.
Above: Full Circle Wherever water bottles come in blackberry, raspberry pink, lime green or blueberry, and hold 590ml of liquid. Also available, Full Circle Day Tripper glass bottles.

I love Full Circle’s line! It’s products are stylish, functional and best of all made from sustainable and renewable resources. Like bamboo handles and sponges made from cellulose. They even have a pot scrubber that’s fully biodegrade!
The sponge and bamboo brush!!! Yes please! My family insist on using the Vileda version of this and I hates it, precious!!! Heading over to buy one right now! Oops, sorry for all the exclamation marks, I am really excited by this product.
A magnet in the towel – why hasn’t anyone done this before?!
Wow, I love the innovativeness of the Full Circle range. I’ve never seen a bottle with a built in juicer before – what a fab idea! I’ve also never come across a sud wand with a bamboo handle – so great to see such biodegradable and eco friendly products
I LOVE that I have now discovered Full Circle, thanks to this blog: any company who makes a bottle with built in juicer top, biodegradable cellulose sponges, freezer compost bin AND magnetic tea-towel really ‘gets’ what people need in their kitchens – but without the hefty environmental and financial cost. So glad to have found them and Biome (can’t wait to order them)!
Um… what happens when the magnetic teatowel gets washed in a machine with a stainless steel interior???
Thank you for your question Belinda. The magnetic tea towel is machine washable in cold water, however I have forwarded your question to the supplier to clarify. Will get back to you as soon as I hear back.
Hi again. Here is the answer from the company: “Basically the magnet will stick to the drum but the towel will continue to spin & get washed (or dried).”
Full Circle range is a dream come true! I have been searching for a good vegie scrubber for ages and they make the perfect one. I also love the compost bin for the kitchen it’s not only very practical it looks great too!
Oh, I would love to win this! My husband and I are doing a nutritional cleanse right now and so I’m also looking at ways to detox my cleaning cupboard as well. This would be so helpful as we try to make better choices for our family!!
I love the idea of glass- its functional, looks great, doesnt make water taste funny and you can see inside them to make sure no bugs flew in while you were pouring water in (not a pleasant thing to find in your drink!).
The Full Circle range will help keep my house clean
What more could I ask for as these products are environmentally “green”
For example, I have the grunge buster grout and tile brush which works so well
As this brush and natural cleaning solutions cleans the mould which I think is swell
There is other full circle items I would love to buy
For example, the ring vegetable brush I would love to try
The thing I love about Full Circle products is that they innovative and useful
And thank you Biome for selling products that are sustainable and biodegradable
So far I have tried the veggie scrubber and the bottle cleaner, and they are very practical and work well, and best of all are enviro friendly. Would love to try almost all of their other products, and get in to some chemical free nesting cleaning.
Congratulations to Joanne, the winner of our Full Circle competition!
