Tomorrow marks the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to come together, raise awareness and support the many people whose lives have been affected by breast cancer.
Cancer is something that has touched the lives of so many of us. In the UK, more than 55,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, while thousands lose their lives to the disease. Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a story.
That’s why, for the third year running, we’re incredibly proud to be supporting ecojiko and Buy Women Built in their efforts to raise awareness and essential funds for cancer support and research.
Cancer charities across the country work tirelessly to fund vital research, provide practical and emotional support, and help families navigate the challenges that a cancer diagnosis can bring. By supporting initiatives such as this, we can all play a small part in helping to ensure that nobody has to face cancer alone.
As part of our Breast Cancer Awareness collection, we have a limited number of ecojiko products available, including their wonderfully eye-catching Boob Swedish Dish Cloths.
The idea is simple: by having these cheerful, practical cloths sitting by your sink, you’ll have a daily reminder to take a few moments to be breast aware and check for any changes, lumps or bumps.
Early detection can be important, so making breast awareness part of your regular routine is a positive step. If you notice a change that is unusual for you, it’s important to speak to your GP or healthcare professional.
The Swedish Dish Cloth: An Everyday Eco Hero
The ecojiko Swedish dish cloth isn’t just designed to raise awareness — it’s also a fantastic sustainable alternative to disposable kitchen towels and synthetic cleaning cloths.
Reusable, washable and compostable, these super-absorbent cloths are perfect for everyday spills, splashes and cleaning jobs around the home.
They can be used for:
- Wiping kitchen surfaces and sinks
- Cleaning dishes
- Tackling bathroom surfaces
- Mopping up everyday spills and sploshes
Made from 70% cellulose sourced from 100% FSC-certified forests and 30% waste cotton, they combine practicality with more sustainable materials.
Once you’ve made the switch, you may never look at disposable paper towels and synthetic sponges in quite the same way again!
Long-Handled Bamboo Dish Brush
Also available as part of the collection is the ecojiko Long-Handled Bamboo Dish Brush, featuring an engraved ‘boob’ design to continue the awareness message throughout your kitchen.
Made from FSC-certified sustainable bamboo, the brush features natural sisal bristles, which are plant-based and biodegradable.
Designed with sustainability and longevity in mind, the brush also has a replaceable head, meaning you don’t need to replace the entire handle when the bristles have reached the end of their useful life.
Simply pull down the small metal retaining ring, open the arms and slot in a new brush head.
Bamboo & Sisal: Natural Alternatives
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, making it a popular alternative to traditional wood and plastic. Combined with natural sisal bristles, the dish brush provides a practical cleaning solution made from predominantly natural, non-plastic materials.
