Smol

What's in the box: A typical box holds concentrated cleaning staples such as laundry capsules, dishwasher tablets, multi purpose spray refill tablets and foaming handwash.

Smol is a UK cleaning brand that sells household essentials on subscription. The range covers laundry capsules in bio, non-bio and fragrance free versions, dishwasher tablets, a multi purpose spray that uses small refill tablets you dissolve in water, and foaming handwash. The brand promises less plastic, carbon and chemicals without weaker cleaning, and it relies on concentrated formats to cut packaging and avoid shipping water. New customers can start with low-cost trial packs. The site lists several products at £2.00 to start, and a Most-Loved Switches bundle puts the four best sellers in one box for £5.00, down from £9.00. Prices for later deliveries are not shown up front, so check what you will pay after the first box. You can change delivery timing as your needs change, which helps households whose usage goes up and down. The front page does not give ingredient details, independent certifications or figures for how much plastic each product saves. If you want hard numbers, you will need to look at the individual product pages. The range is also narrow. It replaces the core of a cleaning cupboard, not a whole zero waste household shop. For people who want dependable basics to arrive on their own with less packaging, Smol is a sensible switch that costs little to try.
