Purdy & Figg

Hands up who loves cleaning? We’re not seeing many hands. But this range has rather changed how we feel about keeping everything sparkling and fresh, around the home.

Basically, if you’re into fragrance, you’ll LOVE Purdy & Figg. It was founded by horticulturalist Charlotte Figg and NHS nurse Purdy Rubin, who ‘decided to make cleaning products they’d actually feel good using – both for themselves and for the environment.’ We originally got to hear about their hand sprays via an Instagram ad, later ordered our first set of cleaning products– and have been squirting happily ever after.

You pour the concentrated cleaning product, with its blend of dirt-busting, germ-eliminating essential oils, into the big bottle. Then top up with 300ml water, and you’re good to go. That way, Purdy & Figg aren’t transporting water all over the country, which helps cut carbon emissions. (We really hope that many more brands start to do this.)

Below you can see the Variety Starter Kit/£30, with three blends to kick you off: Balancing Floral, Uplifting Citrus and (our fave) Grounding Vetiver. What you see above is the ultra-fresh, limited edition Fir & Bergamot; cleverly, Purdy & Figg bring out special editions which scent-lovers swoop upon swiftly – so do look out for future launches via their @purdyandfigg Insta. Coming soon: Patchouli & Cedarwood, and we’ve already signed up for the waiting list!

All in all, a brand that elevates housework to a sensory pleasure. And just in time for the spring clean season, too!
