All those berating others though - what do you actually do?
Lol I get to play my top trump! I live on an eco small holding, grow most of my own stuff, very little plastic use etc, last time on holiday was well over 5 years ago.

Now obviously that is not practical for most people, but you did ask! But re flights etc a person doing one thing shouldn't shut down the whole discussion around this for everyone, now shes probably a very nice woman, I don't know her, but her business model is based on encouraging people to buy this crap "oh but not everyone buys it" but a fairly significant chunk will, thats why she's getting paid to do it, just need to browse through #hinchhaul and the various other tags to see the crazy amounts people are buying.

@loolooskip wake me up from my snooze 🛏

WhyDontYouComeOnOver · 15/01/2019 21:15

Zoflora packaging is recyclable.

pantyclaws · 15/01/2019 21:25

Do you snort at others using chemicals down their bog etc as you wouldn't dream of it but think nothing of jetting off on a plane to foreign climes and hot weather for example?

That's not really how it works though is it? I'm sure loads of her followers also fly and whack the heating up, are you judging them?

You don't have to be an eco-warrior to be unhappy with the grotesque, absolutely unnecessary, literally unhealthy overuse of cleaning products promoted by Mrs Hinch.

Hang on, I'm just catching up but did someone say 'jog on love'.. on mumsnet!? This place isn't what it used to be clutches pearls Grin

KarenDarling · 15/01/2019 21:26

She may influence people but people aren't stupid

Hmm.. I beg to differ, there will be some stupid people about who watch her and think it's harmless - some of them may even find their way here Wine

No, as that's my point. I'm not judging anyone. That we all do our bit, whether it be plastic use, chemical, both or fuel.
I wouldn't berate someone for doing one thing whilst I happily or obliviously did another.
We're all guilty (well, most of us) of some crimes against the environment however hard we try not to be.

sherrysfortea · 15/01/2019 21:37

This thread is hysterical

GlitterStick · 15/01/2019 21:39

Tis that.

NuzzleandScratch · 15/01/2019 21:58

@LikeACowsOpinion Can't wait! Grin

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 15/01/2019 22:08

Funniest thread I’ve read in ages.

Hinchtrolls · 15/01/2019 22:19

@KarenDarling I’m not stupid darling but cheers 🥂 to you KAREN DARLING

ernestandjuliogallo · 15/01/2019 22:40

@Hinchtrolls
@ernestandjuliogallo Jog on love

Eh ok then 🙄
Can't you think of a more mature, constructive response?
Your relentless defence of Mrs Hinch must take a lot of dedication.

Hinchtrolls · 15/01/2019 22:47

I’ll wait for infamous Instagram account then ....

KarenDarling · 15/01/2019 22:58

OTBT it is then ladies Wink

It's so frustrating when the huns invade.

pantyclaws · 15/01/2019 23:04

We're all guilty (well, most of us) of some crimes against the environment however hard we try not to be.

The thing is, a lot of people (and businesses of course) don't try. At all. And don't care. That's how the world's in such a fucking mess in the first place.

Of course those that DO try aren't perfect and have to make compromises /leeway sometimes, but in my experience people who give a shit tend to try to improve their impact or be mindful in most areas of life.

I just don't get the comparison between this, and someone using an obviously excessive and totally unnecessary amount of products and materials.

It would be nice if the cleaning influencer who has the force of personality/ luck/ exposure to garner 1.5m followers realised they could actually be a force for good.

sherrysfortea · 15/01/2019 23:24

@pantyclaws agreed

Some of the nastiest comments on here are from the people who have made a mumsnet account to tell us all how wrong we are. All this thread is doing is questioning her unsustainable cleaning methods.

for what it's worth I do find her videos somewhat entertaining, and her dog is adorable.

Hinchtrolls · 15/01/2019 23:28

I disagree the nastiest comments are coming from the people who started this thread in the first place In all honestly

GlitterStick · 15/01/2019 23:30

Aww. Feel for you. Were you having fun before people turned up to poop on the bitching parade?

Not me though. I've been here absolute years.

Saucer of milk meow

If the Hinchinator herself turns up please let me know. I can’t be arsed to read her minions posts. It’s cringey.

Anyway, Stardrops is the best cleaner. Fuck Zoflora. 😆

loolooskip · 16/01/2019 00:13

It's cringey as hell.

TheDowagerCuntess · 16/01/2019 00:13

Tis that.

No, you don't think it's hysterical GlitterStick. You think it's outrageous, which is why you're here vehemently defending the woman.

It's those vehemently defending, that make it hysterical, FYI.

GlitterStick · 16/01/2019 00:23

That's me told. Obvs can see inside my head to know what I think. Impressive. Confused Hmm
