From toothpaste tablets to refillable water filters, readers have shared their favourite subscription services for cutting costs and reducing household waste. The recommendations come in response to a recent roundup by Hannah Rochell, which highlighted eco-friendly options like vegan washing detergent in recyclable tins and compostable scourers.
Several readers endorsed products from the original guide, including Fussy deodorant and Smol dishwasher tablets. Judy Bailey adds Smol's washing-up liquid, bathroom cleaner, and laundry detergent to her orders. Others suggested innovative alternatives: Charlotte praised Phox refillable water filters for their plastic-free, letterbox-friendly packaging, calling them a life-changer for someone concerned about single-use plastic filters. She also recommends Gentle Dog Food for its nutritional value and eco-friendly packaging.
Binita Walia loves Pärla toothpaste tablets, which arrive every 90 days and are ideal for travel. Alexandra recommends Kit & Kin for eco-friendly nappies and wipes, describing them as gentle. Another reader favours Wild deodorant, hand wash, body wash, and lip balm, highlighting the Citrus Burst hand-wash fragrance.
For those needing immediate solutions, one reader suggests Tesco's glass bottle hand soap concentrate, which requires adding water, and Aldi's concentrated liquid for household disinfectant spray—both affordable and greener alternatives.
