Plastic Free Goodies

Plastic Free Alternatives

Here at Mersea Mudd Shack we're all about reducing the amount of plastic we use, both as a business and in our household. Which is why we stock a small range of plastic free products that can help you to reduce your plastic use, and compliment our products. 

​Soap Bags

The first, and probably our favourite plastic free swap comes in the form of a soap bag (sometimes called a soap saver). They are the perfect partner to your bar of soap, and are designed to be used as a replacement to shower gel. Just pop your bar of soap in the bag, add water, get it lathered up and get washing! It's also a brilliant way of using up those little scraps of soap that are just a bit too small to wash your hands with anymore.
You know that beautiful feeling of washing your hands in our beeswax soap - imagine that feeling all over! 
Made from sisal, which is sustainably grown and biodegradable, and just look at the price! Bargain!
Hang up between uses to allow the soap to dry and last longer.

​bamboo soap dishes

Another soap companion, this time in the form of a soap dish (one of a few kinds of soap dishes we stock). Made from sustainably sourced bamboo with a layer of non-toxic cotton derived waterproof paint over them which means they last longer than others. But they can still be composted at the end of their life! Drying your soap bar between uses will prolong their life, and these bargain priced soap dishes will look great wherever you keep your soap!

ceramic soap dishes

A little more pricey, but just look at them! These beautiful soap dishes are handmade in Devon. They have curved bottoms, or feet to ensure your soap doesn't sit in a puddle. Available in a wide range of colours, the perfect statement piece in your bathroom.
