Dinnertime gives you a great opportunity to take care of family wellness, but you don’t just have to watch out for their health when you cook. Doing the washing up is such a staple part of everyday life that you don’t much think about it, but the washing up liquid you’re using could be doing your family real harm. This is why cleaning brand, Ecover has teamed up with chef and mother of three Rachel Allen, for their initiative Eat Clean, Feel Good.
The aim of the campaign is to get you thinking about the ingredients you use in both your cooking and washing up. While most of us are becoming savvier about how toxins in food contribute to poor health, we forget about the next meal when we’re washing up. The crockery and cutlery you wash up today will be the same crockery and cutlery you eat off tomorrow – are you sure you want to use such chemically-laden products to get the job done? You wouldn’t put chemical ‘nasties’ into your family’s meal, so why would you wash your crockery and cutlery in them?
Rachel explains, ‘As a mother and a chef, taking care of my family through food is at the heart of everything I do. The meals I prepare and the ingredients I choose are extremely important. I try to use as many fresh and seasonal ingredients as I can when cooking for my family, avoiding any hidden nasties, and apply the same principles when it comes to cleaning up after them. Using Ecover washing-up liquid is an easy and simple way to ensure that I am doing the very best I can for my family’s health and well-being every time I step into the kitchen.’ This is why, as well as touting the benefits of Ecover’s products, Rachel has come up with a series of Eat Clean, Feel Good tips which incorporate advice for both cooking and washing up. Moreover, the chef has even provided some delicious recipes that can help you cook up a storm, without compromising your family’s wellbeing, or that of the planet.
But that’s not the only great thing on offer from the Eat Clean, Feel Good initiative. As a part of this campaign – and just in time for Christmas – Ecover has launched a special, limited edition Festive Cookie washing up liquid, giving you the perfect way to bring some festive cheer into your kitchen, while also keeping the bacterial nasties out. After all, you wouldn’t put toxins in the Christmas dinner, so why would you use them when you’re washing up the plates? As well as bearing Ecover’s signature feature of being 20 times less toxic than other brands, the Festive Cookie washing up liquid combines scrumptious seasonal fragrance and stylish design. With the cinnamon, cranberry and gingerbread aromas filling your kitchen, washing up after the Christmas feast may soon become your favourite part of the holiday!
As with all other Ecover washing up liquids, the Festive Cookie edition adds sparkle to the festive season using plant and mineral based ingredients: no unnecessary nasties included. This means you can enjoy sparkling clean crockery this season and feel good about looking after your world. However, before you go rushing out to the shops to get your hands on it – you know you want to – the unique, limited edition 500ml bottle is available exclusively to online shoppers via Ecover Direct, priced at £1.89. An effective, gorgeous-smelling, reasonably-priced washing up liquid that doesn’t harm your family or the planet with toxins? Merry Christmas indeed!
