In the next months we will evaluate the quality and user-friendlyness of several environmentally friendly alternatives for known cleaning products.

One based on the use of soap nuts, and one based on the use of Marseille soap.
SAPO BUBBLES
All-purpose cleaner, dish soap, hand SOAP, washing powder, rinse agent ... All kinds of household cleaning products take a large slice from a budget. But, did you know that you can make many products easily by yourself? In that way, you safe a lot of money. Moreover, homemade products are often much more friendly to the environment than most traditional products from the supermarket.
HIPERION is creating a workshop in which you learn to make your own household products. This project started in the spring of 2013, and be ready by the beginning of 2014.
