The Berlin start-up hello simple lives up to its name and produces body care, cleaning and dishwashing products from a small number of natural ingredients. Free from questionable ingredients, additives or palm oil, the products are not only suitable for cleaning and washing up, but also for washing hands without hesitation.

Another factor that impresses us: the washing-up liquid is produced in a solid, handy form like a bar of soap (by hand, by the way) and therefore does not require any plastic packaging. It is also concentrated and very economical. And the solid dishwashing liquid is as simple to use as the company name: go over the bar of dishwashing soap a few times with a dishwashing brush or sponge and wash the dishes as usual. Despite the use of mild, plant-based surfactants, the dishwashing soap foams very well, but not as abundantly as you are used to from detergents with conventional surfactants. However, there is no need for so much foaming: the dishwashing soap easily absorbs grease and dirty dishes, the rest has to be done by the sponge or brush anyway. After use, the dishwashing soap should always be allowed to dry thoroughly. The best way to do this is to place it in a soap dish with drainage holes.
