What does this brand sell?
Everdrop was founded in 2019 to reduce the pollution that household products cause. They sell concentrated cleaning tablets, as well as ‘naked’ dishwasher tables without any plastic packaging. Only natural ingredients are used, and the products are free from microplastics. Their products also include probiotics – safe for humans, animals and the environment – which displace pathogenic and odour-forming bacteria and stay on the surface to prevent re-pollution. They prevent blockages in the drain or toilet as they continue to break down organic waste.
