Napkins

How does it work?

It is quite simple. Just add about 10ml of water to the tablet, and watch the magic! We have various pourers and trays. Click here to see more.

 

Can it only be used as a napkin?

That is the beauty of this product. It has so many uses. Whether you are out camping, need a baby wipe… the uses are endless.

And because it has no additives, even the most sensitive skins can use it.

 

Why should we use the compressed napkins and not a normal napkin?

Our compressed napkins are made completely from natural products and biodegrades within 45 days.

Normal material napkins need to be washed, wasting precious water, electricity and uses harsh detergents. We are all for nature!

And there is no expiry date on our product.

 

CUT RESISTENT GLOVES

So, I can’t cut myself at all with these gloves?

The cut resistant gloves are cut resistant, and works only for slicing motions, not stabbing motions or hard pressured movements.

 

Can the gloves only be used for slicing?

No! The gloves can be used in the garden, garage, anywhere where you need to protect your precious hands.

Since the gloves are tight fitting and light, it makes for perfect use in the garden, picking up broken glass, wood carving and the garage.

Since our children love to be involved in the kitchen, it is the perfect accessory for them to ensure that there are no unwanted cuts.

There are so many uses!

 

How do I wash the gloves?

Taking care of your gloves are just as easy as the chopping with the gloves!

You can either wash the gloves while on your hands, as you would normally wash your hands, or put them in the washing machine, but the first option will prolong the life of your gloves.

If you do want to pop them into the washing machine, make sure the temperature is 40 degrees Celsius or lower. 

Do not put them in the tumble dryer. Leave them out to drip dry and do not iron them.

 

Will my gloves protect me from punctures?

Our gloves are knitted and designed to provide protection against slicing movements from sharp objects.

However, they are not designed to protect against punctures.

If a knife puncture were to occur, the gloves would help reduce the injury but won’t prevent it from happening.

 

What’s the difference between cut resistant and cut proof?

Unfortunately, our gloves are not indestructible. You still need to take care when cutting and slicing products.

Our gloves will protect your hands from bad injuries in case of accidents when using slicing motions, but not from stabbing or hard pressure movements.

 

Are the gloves waterproof?

No, the gloves are not waterproof, so your hands will get wet when using the gloves.

If you wish to keep your hands dry, we suggest you use latex gloves under your cut resistant gloves.
