STYLE } A Clean Start

When it comes to cleaning products, mixing form and function can make chores ever so much more pleasant. When I'm scouting lines to stock at Salt & Sundry, I'm looking for the cleaning trifecta: they must be beautiful, eco-friendly and, most importantly, functional. These are my current favorites in the shop.

top row...

• Murchison-Hume Superlative Liquid Hand Soap
I was so excited to start stocking this cleaning line. The coconut-based liquid soap protects against dry hands with wheat proteins, chamomile, rose hip extracts and vitamins. And it looks killer by the kitchen sink. $16

• Christophe Pourny Cutting Board Tonic

I met the delightful guys behind this furniture care line at the Martha Stewart American Made Marketplace last fall. The cutting board tonic is amazing. White vinegar and rosemary oil sanitize while walnut oil moisturizes the wood. $22

• Murchison-Hume Scrub Brushes

Natural plant fiber bristles and smooth wood make these little guys kitchen workhorses. $5-$6

bottom row...

• Handmade Crochet Dish Cloths

I love the size of these cotton crocheted dish cloths for wiping down counters. $12, set of 2

• Further Dish Soap

This eco-friendly dish soap is made from glycerin derived from discarded restaurant vegetable oil and scented with bergamot, olive and exotic grasses. $17
