Sustainable Options
With the help of our partners at Good Deeds Market, we have replaced the cleaning products that we stock in each of The Shell Cottages with products that are safer for our guests and gentler for our precious environment.
Blueland ToiletBowl Cleaner:
A plastic-free toilet bowl cleaner tablet that's tough on stains but gentle on the planet with a bright and fresh Lemon Cedar zest eliminates odors. Just drop, brush, and flush! The plant-based and planet-friendly ingredients that are biodegradable and septic-safe.
Myni All-Purpose Cleaner:
Powerful all-purpose cleaner for eco-responsible, toxic-free cleaning. Use in the kitchen with a wet Swedish Dish Cloth.
Myni Bathroom Spray:
Non-toxic and safe for the environment, and is ideal for ceramic tiles, toilet bowls, counters and showers. Use it with our Swedish Dish Cloth to tidy up the bathroom each morning to make you feel more at home.
Myni Glass & Mirror Spray:
A refillable non-toxic spray that does the job and smells great! Use our Swedish Dish Cloth (dry) to clean the bathroom mirror.
myni Dishwasher Pods:
Just pop one in the detergent tray of the dishwasher for an ecological, zero waste solution to clean dishes.
myni Laundry Detergent:
Ultra-concentrated ecological detergent that gently cleans all fabrics. Use one pod for a small load, 2 for a medium load, 3 for a large load and set the water to the temperature you like. We recommend a cold-water wash for your fabrics and for the planet.
HoldOn Compostable Trash Bags:
100% compostable bags made from nontoxic, plant-based material. The strongest compostable trash bags that we’ve tested!
Who Gives a Crap 100% Recycled Toilet Paper:
Eco-friendly toilet paper that helps reduce deforestation from a company that donates 50% of profits to high-impact organizations that take innovative, localized approaches to tackle the sanitation crisis in developing nations.
Who Gives a Crap Paper Towels:
100% recycled, super absorbent paper towels that support the charitable mission of the company.
Concentrated Dish Soap
We fill - and refill - our pump bottles with a 4 ounces of concentrated soap and 12 ounces of water to make a dish soap that is as effective as major brands. It may require a gentle shake from time to time to avoid ingredient separation.
Room Spray:
Our answer to Poopourri and chemical air fresheners: a natural spray made with our signature essential oil blend made just for us by our friends at Shore Soaps. Spray into the toilet bowl before you go and/or into the air around the bathroom. You could even be spray it on your pillow for salty-sweet dreams!
Swedish Dish Cloths:
Sourced and printed for us by our friends at Good Deeds Market (link), one Swedish Dishcloth can replace up to 17 rolls of paper towels. They are reusable, washable, and compostable at the end of their life. Use it to clean dishes, counters, spills, just about anything, and then throw it in the dishwasher along with any dishes to sanitize it for another use!
Loofa Dish Sponges:
These are so cool! 100% plant-based compostable dish sponges replace traditional foam and plastic for dishwashing and household cleaning. Expands in size and softens in water. Great for scrubbing food from dishes!
Compostable Gallon and Sandwich Bags:
100 billion plastic bags are used - and tossed - each year in the US. That’s a garbage truck full every 60 seconds. We have made the switch to HoldOn bags, made with plant-based ingredients that break down in weeks, not centuries without producing microplastic or toxic gas emissions.
We have partnered with local Shore Soaps to provide our guests with hand & body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and hand & body lotion all in our signature blend of natural bergamot, sandalwood, and lavender essential oils - a clean, versatile scent for everyone! We order in bulk and clean and refill pump bottles to minimize waste.
