Eucalyptus oil is a natural product that has many uses, one of which being an excellent cleaning agent, and when combined with our natural ingredients it’s incredibly effective at dealing with dirt and grime. It contains many natural components, the most important being Eucalyptol (also known as Cineole) which gives the oil its distinctive scent and medicinal properties. This also makes eucalyptus oil excellent at breaking down fungi, and being a natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, it helps to reduce skin irritation compared to other cleaning products containing harsh chemicals and silicon
When used in washing, the low suds help to minimise the build-up of soap scum, therefore reducing the risk of mould and mildew in your machine. Our product creates less soap lather which is beneficial for newer machines that use less water in their cycles, while also minimising the risk of build-up causing stains. Eucalyptus oil is also a natural antiseptic, and when used in washing can help to alleviate allergies as well as disinfect clothes.
