Good soap, made slowly, in the Yorkshire Dales.

Plant-based cleaning products from the village of Brambleton, North Yorkshire. Twelve of us, one warehouse, one van (two on Thursdays), one dog. We don't say eco friendly. We say clean clean: clean product, clean supply chain, clean conscience.

☁️ Grey over the fells today, but the van's loaded.

Est. 2014

Started in a garage, by someone who reads labels

Maureen Bramble was a school science technician who refused to clean the labs with anything she couldn't pronounce. So she mixed her own. The garage became a mixing shed, the mixing shed became a business, and the business became twelve people at the Old Creamery.

Our test for everything we make and everything we write: would it embarrass Maureen at the market? Then cut it.

House rules

How we work

We have opinions and we've written them down. These aren't small print, they're the point.

Van days: Tuesday & Thursday

Deliveries go out Tuesdays and Thursdays. Order by noon the day before to make that van. No next-day delivery, ever, and proud of it. Good soap can wait a day.

No discounts. Extras instead.

Ask for money off and you'll get a polite no and a free bar of The Swaledale in your next order. Everyone pays the same fair price, including Maureen's sister.

The Grumble Promise

Complaints are grumbles, and every grumble gets a reply within one working day and a fix within three. Replacements go out immediately.

Don't post it back

If something's faulty we replace it straight away. Give the old one to a neighbour, don't post it back. Prefer a refund? No quibble, three working days.

Wakes Week

We close the first full week of August, every year, all of us. Including the van. Including the dog. Orders placed that week ship on the first van after.

The Maureen rule

Anything involving safety, allergies or the press goes to Maureen Bramble personally, always, within one working day. No exceptions, however friendly the journalist.
