We love to promote products that are ethical and environmentally friendly but even better when they also help those in need, like the eco toothbrushes.  We've recently come across another product that we now use everyday and love, Safix dishwash scrub pads.  Not only are they made from natural coconut fibre and easily remove residual impurities without damaging surfaces, they are also helping those in need.

The name Safix is derived from the Hindi word for 'clean'.  The scrubs have their roots in rural India where women use loose coconut fibre to clean their dishes.  These Safix scourers are made by women in rural India, and provide economic independence for over 200 women. With your support it may grow to provide ethical employment for many more.
