PLANET LUXE Giveaway!

PLANET LUXE - luxurious, environmentally responsible cleaning products, made in Melbourne

I realise it is not entirely exciting to start the week with a post about cleaning products... but hear me out.  I have just been introduced to this brand new range of eco-friendly cleaning products by Melbourne-based startup PLANET LUXE, and I am seriously impressed!  And to be totally honest with you, it takes a lot to impress me these days.  Being such an old and jaded blogger. :)

It's clear that PLANET LUXE has been created with passion, and that each product has been really carefully considered.  The products are 100% biodegradable and greywater safe - but they're also luxurious, beautifully packaged and genuinely affordable.  AND, importantly, they smell amazing!   Lemon Myrtle is a totally underrated fragrance, I now realise. It's like washing your dishes with expensive body products!

PLANET LUXE is the culmination of two years work for Toni Lawler.  Toni worked for several years as a Brand Director for VicUrban – the Victorian Government’s sustainable development agency. Whilst at VicUrban Toni spent a lot of time investigating how people felt about sustainability - and in turn she also spent a lot of time re-assessing her own habits and thinking about ways to lower her own environmental footprint and live a healthier lifestyle.  The lightbulb moment came after a search to find products for VicUrban to give  new homeowners as a welcome gift that sent the 'green' message, but which were also luxurious. "I couldn’t find anything I loved and wanted to have sitting on my kitchen bench" says Toni - so after she left VicUrban she set about making some!  Two years of development and product testing ensued, and Toni enlisted friend Richard Blackman of multi-disciplinary design firm RBD to create the stunning, simple packaging.

PLANET LUXE products are 100% made and packaged in Melbourne.  They're currently available from Safari Living, Hermon & Hermon or online.
