Purdy & Figg

Hands up who loves cleaning? Weโ€™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 youโ€™re into fragrance, youโ€™ll LOVE Purdy & Figg. It was founded by horticulturalist Charlotte Figg and NHS nurse Purdy Rubin, who โ€˜decided to make cleaning products theyโ€™d actually feel good using โ€“ both for themselves and for the environment.โ€™ We originally got to hear about their hand sprays via an Instagram ad, later ordered our first set of cleaning productsโ€“ 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 youโ€™re good to go. That way, Purdy & Figg arenโ€™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/ยฃ30, 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 โ€“ so do look out for future launches via their @purdyandfigg Insta. Coming soon: Patchouli & Cedarwood, and weโ€™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!
