It's Time to Rethink the Sink

💧 Week 1: The Kitchen Sink

👇 Direct links inside! 👇

Below are one-click swaps that trade your chemical and petroleum ingredient products in plastic packaging for plant-based ingredient products in sustainable packaging: cardboard, glass, steel, and aluminum. Tap any green link and your sink stops feeding chemicals to our waterways today.

August is National Water Quality Month. It is easy to tell governments to clean up our water. It is harder to look at our own kitchen sink. So all month, we are rethinking the sink, one room at a time. 🚰

🚰 Down the Drain: What You Rinse Away

🍽️ Branch Basics Dishwasher Tablets
Most mainstream dishwasher pods wrap 20+ chemical ingredients in a dissolving plastic (PVA) film that goes straight down the drain. Branch Basics has zero PVA and just eleven fully disclosed plant and mineral ingredients, EWG Verified.

🫧 Plaine Products Liquid Hand Soap
Typical pump soaps are synthetic fragrance and sulfates in a throwaway plastic bottle. Plaine's botanical formula comes in a refillable aluminum bottle with no sulfates, parabens, or plastic waste. Code Hippiekit = 20% off!

✨ Meliora Gentle Home Scrub Powder
Mainstream scrub creams pair harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrance with a plastic shaker bottle. Meliora is baking soda and organic coconut oil soap in a paper and steel canister, MADE SAFE certified.

💜 Cleancult Refillable Aluminum Spray
The average all-purpose spray is a petroleum-based formula in a single-use plastic bottle. Cleancult is plant-derived lavender, free of phthalates and phosphates, in a forever aluminum bottle you refill for life.

🪟 Green Llama Glass & Mirror Kit
Classic glass cleaners run on ammonia and VOCs that you breathe in and rinse away. Green Llama gets the same streak-free shine from EPA Safer Choice ingredients in a reusable glass bottle with compostable refills.

🧂 Plain Old Baking Soda
Drain fresheners and soft scrubs use twenty-something ingredients to do what this does with one. Pure mineral, zero lab-made anything, and the waterways never notice it passed through.

🧽 Scrub Without Plastic: What You Wash It With

🎋 Subekyu Bamboo & Sisal Brush Set
Plastic dish brushes shed synthetic bristles that never biodegrade. This bamboo and sisal set scrubs cast iron clean, goes easy on everything else, and composts when it retires.

🧽 Airnex Plant-Based Dish Sponges
That classic yellow-and-green sponge is polyester and polyurethane, shedding microplastics with every wash. These cellulose and coconut husk ones never will. (The ones we use at Hippiekit HQ!)

🌊 Blueland Dual-Sided Sponges
Typical scrub pads are plastic glued to more plastic. Blueland's cellulose and natural loofah sponges are hand-sewn with cotton thread, completely plastic-free and home compostable.

🥥 Fab Tab Coconut & Cellulose Sponges
Every synthetic scrubber ends its life as microplastic in the water. Fab Tab's dual-sided coconut husk and wood pulp sponges are plastic-free and 100% biodegradable.
