6 Easy ways to clean up after muddy autumn adventures

Autumn fun means muddy mess!

Pumpkin patches, woodland walks, leaf piles and puddle jumping - autumn is jam-packed with outdoor adventures. But with all those muddy wellies, soggy paws and piles of laundry, it’s also the season for mess. 

The great news is that you don’t need harsh chemicals to tackle all the muck that autumn adventures bring with them. Our eco cleaning products and gentle non toxic essentials are tough on mud but safe for little hands, delicate skin and pets too, so you can breeze through the dirt - and get ahead of the mess this autumn!

1. Wipe down muddy paws and hands at the door

When the mud is threatening to follow you indoors, quick clean-ups are key! Keep a pack of our biodegradable wipes at your door - they’re perfect for wiping muddy fingers, boots or pet paws before they even enter your home. Made with 99% water, they’re gentle enough for sensitive skin but strong enough to wipe away all that stubborn dirt.

Top tip: Keep a bottle of eco all-purpose cleaner and a cloth by the door to spritz and wipe down muddy pushchair wheels.

2. Wash away dirt without drying out skin

After a chilly, muddy adventure, give your family’s hands a little extra care. Our non toxic hand wash removes 99.9% of bacteria while staying gentle on skin, thanks to its naturally derived formula and essential oils. It’s proof that you don’t need harsh soaps for an effective, safe clean.

3. Tackle muddy laundry quickly - and naturally!

From soggy socks to grass-stained jeans, autumn adventures can pile up the washing basket. Tackling those stains as soon as they happen helps to remove them. Our fragrance-free laundry liquid is Allergy UK approved, biodegradable and tough on stains even at low temperatures. Perfect for families with sensitive skin and eco-friendly households looking for non toxic cleaning products that really work.

Top tip: Give tough stains a boost by working a little eco laundry detergent into the stain first.

4. Soothe chapped skin after the cold

Chapped skin, red noses and scuffed knees are common after autumn play. That’s where our magic salve comes in - a soothing blend of natural oils that hydrates and protects. A must-have in your autumn essentials bag, for both kids and grown-ups!

Top tip: Use as a lip balm before heading out to prevent chapped lips!

5. Make floors spotless after muddy paws

Muddy paws can quickly ruin clean floors. Instead of harsh bleaches, reach for our multi-surface cleaner - the perfect non toxic floor cleaner alternative. Use neat for stubborn spots, or dilute with water to wipe down tiles, wooden floors or painted surfaces. 

6. Keep bathrooms & sinks shining after wash-ups

After rinsing muddy boots or washing dirty paws, bathrooms and sinks can take a bit of a beating! Use our natural bathroom cleaner or all purpose cleaner to cut through grime and soap scum, without releasing toxins into your home.

Top tip: Spritzing taps with our eco limescale remover after cleaning will help stop the build-up, meaning less elbow grease later down the line!
