Making It Easier To Be Eco
The Wise House helps you to find everyday natural and eco friendly products for yourself, as well as ethical gifts and 'Eco Geek' gift sets for loved ones.
Everything has been tried and tested by the Guvnor (that's me). The small and mostly British brands that you will find here are my favourites. I've kept the range selective and 'bijou', so that it is easier for you to choose what you need :-).
Build your own starter set from our collection of eco friendly and
re-usable cleaning products; from Loofah Sponges and Coconut Scourers to Plant Fibre Cloths and Organic Cotton Tea Towels. All washable, compostable and biodegradable.
Disposable cleaning accessories like sponges and jay cloths are made from synthetic materials, which will take many years to break down in landfill. Why not carry out an audit of your cleaning caddy and make a few easy eco swaps?

About The Wise House
I'm Lucy, founder and guvnor of The Wise House, a small friendly business that is now 9 years old. In this time, I have tried and tested all of the products you will find here, alongside friends and family.
I hope to offer you an easy swap from single-use to reusable, and synthetic to natural, as well as a sustainable source of stylish gifts. Most products are made in the UK by other small businesses, and all are made ethically.
Orders are packed on site, using plastic-free or reused packaging, much of which is donated to me by the local community. Look out for the brown paper and string option on many products, and your gift will arrive or be sent ready to give!
Join me on a journey towards becoming a (chic) eco geek.
Why Does Biodiversity Matter? I was asked this question by a friend, no doubt invited by my rambling on about nature, and I’m ashamed to say I struggled to answer beyond a stuttered ‘Um, it just does...er...a lot'.
Obviously since then I have replayed how I should have answered, eloquently and persuasively using both scientific and spiritual arguments, but that said it is a difficult question to answer.
Biodiversity is in some ways very simple; it's the web of life, of which we are a part. It’s the air we breath, the water that we drink and the food that we eat.
Postage
I aim to dispatch via Royal Mail within 48 hours of receiving your order. You can contact me [email protected]ouse.co.uk.
Packing
All orders are packed by hand in my garden studio in Hampton, London. I use paper envelopes, boxes and biodegradable packing materials (often reusing boxes and packaging).
Secure Payment System
I accept all payment types via our fast, secure checkout and have the highest level of site security (https) to ensure that data is kept private.
