About Kind Stuff
Our Story
Kind Stuff was born from a simple frustration:
Most “eco-friendly” cleaning products still contain hidden chemicals, heavy fragrances, and ingredients that aren’t actually safe for the environment or for reusing household water.
As someone passionate about sustainable living, gardening, and creating a healthier home, I wanted products that were greywater-safe, biodegradable, affordable, and transparent about ingredients.
So I began learning, testing, and formulating cleaning solutions that were gentle, effective, and truly eco-conscious. What started as personal experimentation evolved into Kind Stuff — a brand committed to clean chemistry that works without compromise.
I created Kind Stuff because I believe every South African home deserves cleaning products that are safe, honest, and kind.
