Household products are bought on habit rather than judgement, which is how most kitchens end up with six bottles doing three jobs.
What the range covers
- Laundry — powders, concentrates, liquids, laundry fragrances
- Stain removal — sprays and pre-treatments
- Dishwashing — hand-wash and dishwasher products
- Kitchen — degreasers, oven and hob products
- Bathroom — limescale and sanitary surfaces
- General surfaces — floors, glass, multi-purpose
Concentrated formats appear across several of these. They cost more per bottle, less per wash, and take up markedly less cupboard space.
The current line-up is in the Faberlic catalogue.
Five products cover a home
Most households need this rather than fifteen:
- Laundry detergent suited to how you actually wash
- Dishwashing liquid, or a dishwasher product
- One kitchen degreaser for hob, worktops and the greasy end of cleaning
- One bathroom product for limescale
- A multi-purpose surface cleaner for everything else
Add a stain remover with children or sport in the house. Specialists — oven cleaners, descalers — are worth buying when needed rather than in advance.
The safety rule
Never mix cleaning products. Particularly anything for bathrooms. Some combinations — bleach with acidic descalers, bleach with ammonia — produce genuinely dangerous fumes, and this is not a theoretical risk.
Also:
- Keep concentrates in their original containers, labelled, out of children's reach
- Follow the dilution on the label — concentrates are formulated to be diluted, and using them neat wastes product and can damage surfaces
- Ventilate while using anything strong
What actually improves results
Matching the laundry product to water hardness and load size. More detergent does not mean cleaner clothes; it means residue, and residue makes fabric stiff and grey over time.
Contact time. Most bathroom and kitchen products work by sitting on the surface for the stated minutes. People spray and wipe immediately, then conclude the product is weak.
Where the discount matters most
This is the category where a consultant discount compounds fastest, because these are things you buy every month regardless. Moving existing household spending across is the most straightforward way the arrangement pays for itself.
