january clean-o-gram
A bit belated, but we’d like to wish you a happy new year. Chuffed is our new favorite British word, as you’ll see by some of our news.
In this month’s clean-o-gram, we have the requisite bit of New Year’s resolutions and detoxing, a dirty little secret, a fancy shmancy award, and the newest home for method.

‘Tis the season to make resolutions. Ours is to keep the office a bit tidier and eat lunch away from our desks more. Oh, and we’re moving all of our bottles to 100% recycled plastic.
Detoxing is a pretty popular resolution. So, while you’re out detoxing everything from your liver to your skin, give a little thought to home sweet home. It could use a good old detox as well. In fact, if your walls could talk, you'd probably want to wash their mouths out with soap (but good, clean, non-toxic soap like method we hope).
Unlike some of the dodgy detox treatments out there, detoxing your home doesn’t have to be a sacrifice. It can even, dare we suggest it, smell like Eucalyptus Mint or Ylang Ylang and come in shiny, happy bottles like these. Our cheeky range of home detox remedies may be found online and (we’re chuffed to say) in more and more shops across the UK.
We like to share dirty little secrets each month. We want everyone to rethink what makes a healthy home. We’re rabble-rousers that way.
This month’s secret relates to why it’s a good idea to detox your home. The air inside your home is more polluted that the air outside. It’s true. It’s 2-5 times more polluted than what’s outside. Plus, you’ve got a bunch of pesticides soaking in all that bad air. That’s a potentially dangerous mix. You country dwellers aren’t off the hook – this applies to you, too. Here’s the full story.
fancy shmancy award
It’s hard to tell from this photo, but we’re all blushing (all eight of us). The nice people at the Grocer just named method Household Launch of the Year in the UK, and entered us as a finalist for overall launch of the year. We are quite chuffed. We were by far the smallest brand at the event (and certainly the only one with 100% of the UK team there). We'd like to thank the Academy, but of course we owe it to all of you. We're just sad we couldn’t have fit all of you in the room and there wouldn't have been enough canapés to go around.
dish, dish, got my wish
You might remember that just before Christmas, we gave away some limited-edition washing-up liquid bottles signed by the whole team in return for your quirkiest Christmas tradition. Here are a few of our favorites.
"When the children were growing up instead of putting out cookies and milk for Santa … they would leave him salami, crackers and beer and carrots for the reindeer”
"My mum bought a Christmas decoration that consisted of a straw circle with strings coming of it and ducks/geese suspended on them … every year that this decoration comes out we sing the Dambusters title music"
newest home of method
We were chuffed (as, you can see, was Louise’s daughter Frida) that Whole Foods recently introduced a nice full range of method to its flagship London store, as well as the smaller Fresh & Wild shops. We like Whole Foods (particularly their cheese room) and have been in a number of their US stores for a while now, so are glad to cross the pond with them.
