If by chance you\u2019ve noticed that I\u2019ve been a little quiet on here recently, there\u2019s a simple reason – we have moved! If you\u2019ve ever moved house before you\u2019ll know just how much planning, preparation and \u2018doing\u2019 there is to move a family, especially when we had been in our previous house for around 24 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wondering why I\u2019m telling you this, there is a reason, our new house, while only about 10 minutes away from our previous address, is on a bit more land and is subsequently not connected to the sewerage system. So our new house has been built with a septic tank\/system to meet our water disposal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After we had moved in and I had purchased a hand soap for every bathroom\/toilet (of which there are quite a few), we received a note from the company who installed our septic system informing us of the ways in which we need to take care of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently a septic system does not like today\u2019s modern day antibacterial cleaning products – they kill the bugs\/bacteria in the septic system and stop it from working properly. So all of my regular foaming hand washes that I normally buy at the supermarket had to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were given a couple of options for hand soaps that we could use, so I purchased some Palmolive Milk & Honey<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"palmolive<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was fine but I just couldn\u2019t get over it not being a foaming hand soap. I much prefer the foaming soaps as they don\u2019t drip strings of soap as you dispense them. So I set out on a quest to find a foaming hand soap that would be safe for my new septic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Tirtyl foaming hand soap<\/a><\/span> is safe for septic systems! I had seen Tirtyl products online before – I guess I\u2019m in their typical target market so their ads pop up a lot for me on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, I was never overly interested as I was already content with the cleaning\/soap products I already used. But, when I needed to find a foaming hand wash that I could use in my new septic system, I was delighted to give them a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I discovered that you can buy Tirtyl products on Amazon<\/span><\/a> I was even more excited! I love being able to take advantage of my Amazon Prime membership<\/span><\/a> and save on delivery fees by buying through Amazon. So I ordered a hand soap dispenser kit<\/span><\/a> which comes with one dispenser and three different \u2018flavours\u2019 of hand soap tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes neatly (and safely) packaged like this – which is good because the hand soap dispenser is not plastic but glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up your new hand soap couldn\u2019t be easier – simply fill the dispenser with warm water and add one of the tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then just leave it to do its thing (dissolve) for the next 45 minutes to 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the soap tablet has finished dissolving simply screw on the lid and your new foaming hand wash is ready to use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s the verdict? Honestly, my family is divided – half of us (myself included) love it, but one or two would prefer the Palmolive honey and milk soap<\/span><\/a>. The main person who doesn\u2019t like it (my son) says that it doesn\u2019t feel as though it cleans his hands properly – he prefers a much more caustic feeling soap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s not a huge fan of the Palmolive soap either and would rather use a harsher soap to clean his hands but, as we have to use something that is safe for our septic tank, he would prefer the Palmolive over the Tirtyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally the foaming factor is the most important part of the soap to me so the Tirtyl soap wins hands down in that department. I also love anything that has a nice smell. The Tirtyl hand soaps all smell nice, although they only have a subtle scent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would rather have a stronger scent but I\u2019m well aware that my septic system would prefer the scent to be clean and gentle, so I\u2019m willing to compromise there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have since purchased two more starter kits<\/a><\/span> (glass dispenser and three hand soap tablets) from Amazon, to have one in each of the bathrooms where the Tirtyl is preferred, and I guess I\u2019ll keep buying the Palmolive milk & honey soap from the supermarket for the bathroom for which it is the preferred soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the expense down I thought it would be best to buy a bulk lot of the refill tablets to use as the dispensers ran out. I was shocked to discover the cost of the refills on Amazon – they were ridiculously expensive when I was looking to buy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth checking again in case they bring the price back to a normal price point but if they don’t, don’t panic. Buying direct from Tirtyl<\/a><\/span> is easy and, for a refills only order, delivery is free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, that\u2019s my tip for using Tirtyl – feel free to grab your initial start up kit from Amazon (this especially makes sense if you have a Prime membership as your delivery will be free), but then get your refills directly from tirtyl.com.au<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m thrilled to have such a nice product to use that is safe for my septic system, so thrilled that, next time I order refills, I will probably be tempted to try their dishwasher tablets<\/a><\/span> and maybe some of their other products too!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple of other reasons to be happy about using Tirtyl products<\/a><\/span> too – reducing environmental impact and supporting an Australian company! Two of my favourite things to do! Yes, Tirtyl<\/a><\/span> is owned and run by Australians and they even manufacture some of their products here too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re looking for a foaming hand soap that is safe to use in your septic system<\/a><\/span>, or if you just want to buy your soap from an environmentally conscious, Australian company, you definitely need to give Tirtyl<\/a><\/span> products a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
