These clever items help circulate air in your tumble dryer, reducing the drying time and softening the fabrics naturally. They are long-lasting and chemical-free, making a cost-effective alternative to pricey fabric softeners.
WRAP UP: Say goodbye to single-use plastic wraps and hello to reusable beeswax paper, £9.99 for a pack of three at The Range.
These versatile products keep food fresher for longer and can be washed and reused repeatedly, making them a sustainable kitchen staple.
CHILL OUT: A reusable water bottle is your go-to for avoiding expensive plastic bottles of water.
Stainless steel bottles keep drinks cool on hot days and double as a thermos for warm drinks in winter.
Travelling? Take an empty bottle through airport security and fill it for free airside before your flight.
GET YOUR FILL: Many beauty brands now offer refill options, saving money and packaging.
The faithinnature.co.uk body wash costs £5.61 for 500ml, but you can refill it from a 5L bottle for £37.50, which works out as £3.75 per 500ml.
FACE SAVER: There’s no need to buy face wipes or even cleanser any more because you can pick up a Face Halo make-up remover pad for £7.50 at Boots instead.
This ingenious little textured pad removes all traces of slap with just water and is said to replace up to 500 traditional face wipes.
