The Mindful Kitchen

At BARKLY BASICS, we believe that even the simplest everyday tasks can be transformed into moments of joy and inspiration.

It all started with a moment of mindfulness at the kitchen sink, where a simple question sparked a lightbulb idea: "Why is my kitchen sponge yellow!?"

The idea of a designer kitchen sponge became a light bulb moment for me in 2018. I embarked on a journey to create a stylish-looking sponge that I no longer needed to hide under the sink.

But the path to success was not easy. It took over 12 months to develop a sponge prototype. Finding a manufacturer overseas proved to be a challenge, as they had never produced a black coloured sponge before. They thought I was a little bit crazy because they couldn't understand what was wrong with the yellow sponge 🙄 But I persisted.

What sets us apart is our commitment to sustainability and accessibility with style. 

We believe in making conscious choices that have a positive impact on the environment, our health and daily living. By choosing BARKLY BASICS, you are not only investing in high-quality cleaning products but also contributing to a greener and more accessible future.  

Join us on this journey to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Let's make every moment at the kitchen sink a moment of inspiration. Together, we can create a cleaner, more beautiful world, one sponge at a time.

We are excited at what the future holds and look forward to taking you on the journey with us 🖤
