Great kit

It's a lovely bottle and the handwash is really nice too. Pumps well, looks good and easy to rinse. The scent of the handwash is nice not too strong.
I find it really hard getting scents that aren't too overpowering I like a light fresh smell - cut grass or ocean smells (possible ideas for the future?

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoy the handwash. We appreciate your support!

Great cleaner and olfactory satisfaction.

Great cleaner and the olfactory satisfaction is delightul . I have a cleaner to help me and she really enjoys using this but I had to ask her not to use it on the floor because my shoes and leather slippers were squeaking when I walk on it. I have a steam mop so I guided her to use the water only. All other surfaces are meticulously cleaned. Thank you so much.
