If you are looking for cleaning agents without toxins that are skin-friendly and eco-friendly, look no further than Cloversoft. The brand's product range includes anti-dust mites laundry pods, bleach-free toilet cleaners, sustainable, anti-bacterial toilet paper, ultra-soft wet wipes and 3-in-1 dishwashing liquid.

In our world where allergies and nasties pervade the products we come into contact with every day, where does Cloversoft come in?

Cloversoft’s 4-in-1 plant-based laundry pods are unlike conventional laundry detergents that may contain harmful chemicals like sulfates, chlorine, and parabens. The artificial citrus scents commonly associated with cleaning can pose inhalation risks. Made with 100% natural ingredients, Cloversoft incorporates natural essential oils such as eucalyptus, rose, and cedarwood into their products.

With colour-protect softeners that are 99% antibacterial and anti-dustmite, Cloversoft’s laundry pods simplify (often convoluted) laundry routines. Formulated with 0% harsh chemicals, these plant-based laundry pods are skin-friendly, perfect for those with sensitive skin. They’re also a safer choice for kids (yes, your fur kids included!)

When it comes to cleaning toilets, things can get even more dangerous — bleach-based products that claim to be the most effective can give off unpleasant odours and strong fumes. This is where Cloversoft’s bleach-free toilet cleaners provide a safe and pleasant cleaning experience, using either rosemary or ginger scents.
