Why have a sustainability strategy, especially for such a small business as Hometree? For us, it’s about backing our words with actions.

Your washing machine works hard to get your clothes clean. In the process, it accumulates grime, soap scum, and limescale. If you don’t clean it, your clothes will start smelling or won’t be quite clean.

Your freezer is working overtime, preserving your food for months at a time. But eventually, ice will start building up on the walls and shelves. Frost reduces the efficiency of your freezer, uses up precious storage space, and can even cause your energy bill to increase.

Your fridge operates day and night, day in and day out, to keep your food fresh and safe to consume. But set it too high, and your food will spoil in a hurry. Too low, and you’ll freeze fresh fruits and vegetables or lose energy efficiency.

Your microwave is cleaner, fresher, and more efficient when it’s clean. Over time, spills and splatters build up, causing your microwave to have trouble heating food evenly. The good news is that cleaning it will be no hassle or wasted time.

Your dishwasher is probably one of the most worked appliances in your kitchen. It washes your glasses, plates, and cutlery to a dazzling high level with very little effort on your part. Grease, limescale, and foods can build up inside it over time, however, leaving dishes not as clean as they can be along with an unpleasant odour.

Your cooker hood is doing an excellent job of removing steam, smoke, and grease from your kitchen. In the process, the filter in it accumulates oil and dirt, which can cause it to stop working. A dirty, greasy filter also imparts bad smells and can even become a fire risk.

Your kitchen appliances work hard daily. They keep food fresh, help with the cooking, and clean up afterwards. When they break down, it is costly and stressful to get them fixed.
