Did you know that literally the SECOND we have something, we no longer want it?!

Psychologically this is because when we buy things (especially online) it puts our brain into a dopamine cycle. By the time they’ve arrived at the door, the dopamine wears off, and we loose that excited feeling.

Turns out it was never the new clothes we wanted but the rush of buying them. We were anticipating a reward, which is always better than the actual reward itself.

Wild.

Look carefully, we’re not talking about the Lint filter, we’re talking about the one you’ve probably never thought about.

Keeping it clean will shorten the drying time, reduce the bill, and keep your house safe from fire hazard.

It’s a low time, high reward, Sunday kind of job.

We tested this viral hack of using chalk on oil stains so you don’t have to, and thank god we did. We got badly hoaxed 😭

Save your time and favourite tee shirt by using something we know will work… our Oil, Body and Grease Stain Remover of course!

We completely understand why you guys are asking for more products with our incredible signature scents. However, fabric softener will always be a laundry item we steer clear of. Why?

Fabric softener does more harm than good. It leaves a layer of chemicals on your clothes, towels, and activewear that inhibits them from absorbing moisture. 

It is also bad for your washing machine, and can contribute to residue buildup, which leads to mould and mildew. 

Skip the softener. A good laundry detergent and five minutes in the dryer or near a source of heat (once your clothes have finished drying on the line) will give you a similar softness without the nasty chemicals and synthetic scents.

Damp and dark spaces (like a washing machine) create the perfect environment for mildew and mould. 

The easiest thing you can do to prevent this is to always leave your washing machine door open. This lets the drum properly dry out between washes and reduces mould growth. 

Combine this with a regular wipe-down of the seals and an occasional machine clean, and you won’t have to worry about these fungi making themselves at home.

Kiss your laundry. Really. It’s the best way to tell whether your line dried clothes are still damp, or just cold.

Maybe just skip the lipstick at home…

If there’s one challenge that excites us above all others, it’s finding a use for things that would otherwise be thrown away.

So when we changed the design of our Carry On bottles, we wanted to give the leftovers another life. Make something worth keeping.

Eloise of Fools Glass | Eloise McCullough and Lachy of Space-man Studio , two makers just down the street from us, turned them into lamps by hand. The bottles are the bulbs, the shade is made from off-cut glass. And the base is aluminium, the same endlessly recyclable material we launched the company on.

Only five exist, each worth $1,200. And we’re giving them all away.

Click the link in our bio to enter in the draw to win one of five lamps, plus a years supply of Dirt products.

We hope you love them as much as we do.

Freezing your wool, silk or cashmere is the easiest way to ensure you’re not bringing home any moths, larvae, or other natural fibre loving friends.  

Moths feed on the keratin in wool, creating those tiny mystery holes in your clothes.  

When it comes to clothes moths prevention is always the best course of action. So, before you introduce your newest secondhand wool purchase to the rest of your wardrobe, pop it in the freezer first. All you need to do is put it in a zip lock bag and leave it there for at least 72 hours.

If you buy thrifted or vintage wool, you’ll want to remember this hack.

Injecting money into the Australian economy doesn’t have to come at the cost of Australian people. 

Research from the Roy Morgan Research highlights that if Australian’s shifted $10 of their weekly spending to Australian Made products, $5.6 billion would be injected into the Australian economy and nearly 10,000 jobs would be created.

That pretty impressive.

There’s an assumption that buying Australian Made products is more expensive than buying products manufactured overseas. But this doesn’t have to be the case.

By cutting out the transportation and handling costs between manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, as a business we’ve managed to subsidise the costs of Australian labour and produce a product at lower prices than most others in our market.

We really do love Australian Made products. We love having a warehouse here. It’s fun to tinker with complex processes and get good at recycling. We believe we can bring a great quality product at the same price, we just have to challenge our thinking to do so. It’s a beautiful constraint. 

We’re grateful that there are enough people that agree with the sentiment that Australian Made products hold value, but we also don’t expect people to pay a premium for it.

If you think your clothes smell musty they probably do.

Long winter drying times means your clothes are probably no stranger to mildew and mould build-up. This fungal growth is exactly whats causing that musty or sour smell in your clothes.

If you start to notice this smell when your clothes are drying DO NOT chuck them in the dryer, this will only make the smell worse.

Instead pop them back in the wash on the highest temperature your clothes can handle, then either hang them out to dry again (somewhere you know they will dry within a day) or put them straight in the dryer.
