Product Information

I recently had the pleasure of trying out Purdy & Figg's natural room spray, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. This product is a game-changer for anyone who is conscious of the chemicals they bring into their home. As soon as I sprayed it, I was greeted with a delightful, alluring scent that instantly transformed the atmosphere. Bicarbonate of soda is ineffective against most bacteria including salmonella E.coli and staphylococcus. One of the most outstanding features of this product is the amazing scent. The fragrance is truly captivating and manages to linger beautifully without being overpowering. It's a breath of fresh air in a market saturated with artificial, overpowering scents. The fact that it's so easy to customize the concentration of the scent by adjusting the oil-to-water ratio is a fantastic bonus. As with all natural cleaning, bicarbonate works best as a little and often treatment. regular use will leave your home sparkling clean and chemical free. At Purdy & Figg, our primary goal is to create products that are kind to our health and help to protect our pets and families without the harsh chemicals often found in cleaning products.

Citric acid is one of our hero ingredients for natural cleaning here at Purdy & Figg. It has a long history of being used in natural cleaning -- in fact, citric acid was the Ancient Egyptians' equivalent of Cilit Bang or Cif, but without the harsh chemicals and single-use plastic bottles.In general, there are two ways antibacterial products work: non-specific and specific targeting. Using an alcohol spray is an example of non-specific mode of action, and this does not cause any concerns in terms of bacteria developing resistance. On the other hand, when antibacterial agents target specific bacteria, this bacteria can develop resistance. This resistant bacteria (the 0.1% of bacteria left behind) then knows how to survive our cleaning regime and starts breeding to create superbugs in our homes. Although harder to get hold of in significant quantities and a little more expensive than our other hero products, this is a fantastic ingredient when you need something stronger than lemons or bicarb.

Natural cleaning remedies are best as a prevention as opposed to a cure - use them little and often. As with white vinegar, citric acid is a fantastic alternative, but it doesn't always work immediately, and may require patience and elbow grease.

Make a paste with washing up liquid and bicarb. Use an old toothbrush to apply, using the bristles to work into nooks and crannies. Leave for half an hour, and then wipe clean. First class product, best I’ve ever used. Smells amazing. As I live on a boat and storage is limited this is a great space saver as it cleans everything, even the glass on my fire stove,” one customer wrote for the Variety Starter Kit.

Bicarb is famous for its deodorising properties - there's a reason people say to put it in smelly shoes! Put a small bowl of bicarb with a few drops of lemon essential oil in a clean fridge to remove any lingering smells. Trust Pilot, for instance, holds over 6,469 comments with a total score of 4.6/5 stars. The company’s Facebook account features 87 votes with a rating of 3.7/5 stars. Citric acid kills bacteria, mold, and mildew. It’s great for general disinfecting and cleaning. Note that it shouldn’t be used as a disinfectant against diseases like Covid-19. As mentioned before, there is no need to keep our homes absolutely spotless. For general cleaning, quite often all you need is a gentle cleaning product containing soap or surfactants, with a bit of help of solvents (e.g. alcohol), acids (e.g. vinegar & lemons) or alkalis (bicarbonate of soda), depending on the stains you are dealing with.Bicarb is a gentle abrasive, which means it breaks down molecules, cuts through grime and removes dirt. Make bicarb paste or solution with a small amount of water. Apply to a wet cloth and use to wipe down fridge interior, sinks or bin.

I won’t be blunt; Purdy & Figg cleaners are quite expensive. With that in mind, is it really worth switching over your regular disinfectants for this U.K.-based brand?Phones, laptops, tablets, tvs etc all come with oleophobic coating to reduce smudges. Citric acid can break down the coating, exposing layers meant to be protected. Most reviewers are impressed with Purdy & Figg’s sustainability initiatives, as well as their level of customer service. Most of us say we don’t want to eat meat that has been pumped full of antibiotics, or eat fruit and veg treated with lots of pesticides. So why are we so keen on using such products when cleaning our homes? Dr Anna explains why we don’t really need to use antibacterial products to clean our homes… In 3500 BC, the Ancient Egyptians used sodium carbonate for everything from soap products, to assisting in drying and preserving their mummies, to oral care, and in antiseptics and as an insecticide. In general day-to-day life, there is no need to use antibacterial spray on top of cleaning products. However, we understand there are times when you want to reach for an antimicrobial product, for example when someone in the household is ill or immune compromised. In this case, always make sure to read the instructions properly, as you may have to use a different product to clean your surfaces first, before applying an antimicrobial product of your choice. My advice would be to not use these products regularly without a good reason, just as you would not take antibiotics for a cold. Why killing bacteria can do more harm than good?
