Product reviews from our experts…

I am not going to lie, I have been using this product non stop in the house as well as the car. We had a beach weekend away recently and I took the sand brush with me and gosh it surprised me how well it worked! I’ve been brushing sand out of the car, crumbs off the lounge and everything else in between. The brush is comfortable to hold, the fibres are gentle on fabrics and kids skin, overall a simple yet amazing product! Love it!

I love that their packaging is minimalistic and recyclable. I also think it’s pretty cool that they collaborate with Import Ants that work with Sri Lankan Artisans in fair trade communities. I really love this and wish more businesses did the same. I also love that they donate to take 3 for the sea from every purchase.

We didn’t know we needed this until we had it. So great to use after the beach, or for when your kid has mountains of sand in their shoes after spending all day in the sandpit. It keeps sand out of our car (which is my personal nightmare) and our house.

I’m super impressed by the brands work on ensuring a fair trade supply chain in Sri Lanka and their focus on donations that aim to help reduce ocean plastics.

–Veronica Milsom

What I love most about this is its hardiness and size. Aesthetically it feels comfortable to hang it by the shoe rack for quick and easy use. I appreciate that the giveback program is aligned with the intended use of the product as well as the efforts made to ensure fair trade certifications when working internationally. I also commend the full biodegradability of the product, enabling it to be a closed loop system that leaves no trace on the earth.
