5 Easy Eco Swaps You Can Make Today with Embrace Eco (Featuring Miniml Refills)
Making your home more eco-friendly doesn’t need to be a huge lifestyle overhaul. In fact, it’s the small swaps — made consistently — that lead to the biggest impact over time. At Embrace Eco, we believe sustainable living should be simple, accessible, and genuinely useful. That’s why we’ve partnered with Miniml, a UK-based refill brand that shares our values of honesty, transparency, and zero waste.
Here are 5 easy eco swaps you can make today — all available through our doorstep refill service:
1. Swap: Washing-Up Liquid Bottles → Refillable Citrus
Why?
Traditional washing-up liquids are packaged in single-use plastic and often contain harsh chemicals that aren’t kind to your skin or the planet.
Our Pick:
🌱 Miniml's Washing-Up Liquid in Wild Rhubarb and Lemon
-
Plant-based, gentle on hands, and tough on grease
-
Vegan, cruelty-free and biodegradable
-
Supplied in refillable recycled plastic bottles
- It smells natural and fresh
How it works:
Order online or leave your empty bottle in your box — we’ll top it up and leave it ready for action. No waste. No faff.
2. Swap: Supermarket Surface Sprays → Multi-Surface Cleaner - Blood Orange
Why?
Most supermarket sprays contain synthetic fragrances and leave a chemical residue — not ideal for households with kids, pets, or sensitive skin.
Our Pick:
🧼 Miniml Multi Surface Cleaner in Blood Orange
-
Kills 99.9% of bacteria using natural ingredients
-
No bleach, no harsh fumes
-
Safe for all surfaces (and it smells amazing)
Bonus: It's packaged in a refillable trigger spray that we clean and reuse for you.
3. Swap: Laundry Pods → Liquid Refill in Fresh Linen
Why?
Laundry pods often come in unrecyclable plastic and can contain microplastics that wash straight into waterways.
Our Pick:
🧺 Miniml’s Non-Bio Laundry Liquid – Fresh Linen
-
Works in hot or cold washes
-
Ideal for sensitive skin
-
Fully biodegradable formula and bottle
Top tip: Combine it with their Fabric Conditioner for super-soft, planet-friendly clothes.
4. Swap: Bathroom Cleaners → Refillable Spearmint and Peppermint Toilet Cleaner
Why?
Most toilet cleaners are loaded with dyes, chlorine, and non-renewable surfactants.
Our Pick:
🚽 Miniml's Toilet Cleaner – Spearmint + Peppermint (One of our favourites at Embrace Eco)
-
Naturally thick formula
-
Cleans without corrosive acids
-
Smells fresh without fake perfumes
Order online or leave your bottle in your refill box and we’ll take care of the rest.
5. Swap: Plastic Hand Wash Bottles → Refillable Soap Dispenser
Why?
Hand wash is used daily, yet most people go through multiple plastic bottles a month.
Our Pick:
👐 Miniml’s Hand Soap – Pink Grapefruit or Aloe Vera
-
Moisturising, gentle and sulphate-free
-
Refillable, not disposable
-
Looks great in a glass dispenser
Use our bottle or find yourself a sexy refill dispenser to enjoy.
