Want to make your laundry the most caring for the planet it can be.
1 kg of Washkers can last you up to six months of washing. To read all about our journey with Washkers and how to use them please see my blog post Washkers blog on The Watercress Queen
How do you use them?
It takes just 40 grams of the chopped and dried conkers soaked in 500 ml of hot water for 30 minutes to provide two washes worth of liquid to go directly in the drum of your washing machine. That same 40 grams can be soaked a further 2 times – the 2nd soaking using all the water, the 3rd for a lightly soiled wash.
What amazing value is that – 40 grams providing 4 washes! A kilo bag lasts a very long time, and is good for the planet.
The packaging of course is upcycled cotton bags, giving abandoned textiles a 2nd use, and when you have finished using the bag for as many things as you can think of it can be composted at home.

Everything we do in our work we aim to be a positive addition to our world. We following the principles of Ayyew – making the best use of every resource we have. All the processes we use to make our products have to be the best use of resources. Industrial reprocessing tends to use more resources than they save .
For example our Genius Cleaning Cloths are upcycled textiles that would otherwise end up on a long journey to end up in landfill or burnt. Instead they are made using minimum resources, and all offcuts are added to the compost we make to grow food for our community. We source the textiles but running clothes swaps, providing access to free clothing to our local community, using what is left over. Every order of Genius cleaning Cloths helps to expand the work we do to cloth people.
I hope you would like to support us on this mission to bring regenerative culture to our world.
