I keep getting ads for this - seems nice enough in that is eco, cruelty free etc -but is it genuinely as good as they say ?

No, it’s utter crap. Expensive crap.

I think it stinks and is a waste of money. M&S kitchen and bathroom sprays are miles cheaper and smell miles better.

It looks to me like expensive crap as OP says but it has inspired me to buy a £1 spray bottle from the supermarket that I keep topped up with a solution of water, drop of fairy liquid, and several drops of essential oil. I love Patchouli at the moment.

I spritz my cushions, curtains and rugs with it a few times a week and my house smells lovely.

(I use proper cleaning stuff for cleaning, as well as some chemical-free cleaners such as bicarbonate &lemon juice which costs very little)

Definitely crap. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the smell of a couple of theirs but it’s really just essential oils. And I can buy them much cheaper locally. I held on to the subscription for about 4 months then cancelled it. I also didn’t like that I couldn’t insist on not having florals (allergy to lily and jasmine pollen) so that did it for me.

There’s a lovely eco brand that sells in Tesco & Asda that’s much better - and cheaper.

Right! Sounds like I should step away :)

Thanks all for the input and tips

Method is nice and as someone else mentioned the m&s stuff is nice but doesn’t smell too strongly which I like. I also like the flash spray, wipe, done in the winter smells (Norwegian sky?).

Utter rubbish, smell nice but doesn’t last long at all.

I got some on Black Friday at £27 for 4 scents, 2 bottles, oh de loo drops and two eco cloths. It’s nice but I won’t be renewing. I’ve always used my own stuff. You just need some veg glycerin from the chemist to make the oil blend with water then you can add essential oil and soap.

It's very over hyped. The smell doesn't last, the solution doesn't clean, and the bottles leak. I've had two bottles plus a replacement top when I told them they leaked, and they've all leaked. Plus every priced.

The other thing is that a glass bottle is a bit of a hazard. But you can get the same bottles on Amazon far cheaper. I think what I’ve got for £27 is reasonable but would never spend £90 on it which is the full price. I’ve cancelled the subscription already. When the 4 bottles run out I will make my own up. Have to say it has cleaned my white quartz worktops nicely and not left a streak .But so do a lot of other brands.
