The business idea

An ecological cleaning products retailer sells environmentally friendly products including detergents, washing up liquid, floor cleaner, washing powder and bleach. The products sold are made with limited amounts of harmful chemicals, with the aim of being as non-toxic as possible. The products will attract consumers with strong ethical and environmental principles and there may be opportunities to supply products to cleaning businesses. The business may be operated online or from shop premises.
