Odds & Ends

Colorful home textiles – made from surplus materials from industry

When factories dye yarn for textile production, an extra stock is often made just in case – but much of this yarn ends up unused. Odds & Ends textiles are designed to make full use of these scraps and create endless, unexpected color combinations.

Collections & Colors

Odds & Ends collections are produced in batches. The factory collects surplus materials and uses these colors to create a new design, which is then put into production. The precise design is just the starting point – during production, some of the residual materials are used up and replaced with similar colors.

Therefore, the images you see are an indicative representation of how the textiles look, but there will be slight variations within each batch.

Colours may vary

As these textiles are produced in small batches from surplus materials, colors may vary. However, the general color palette is always preserved, so that textiles within the same color scale can be easily combined. The product you receive may be identical to or have slight variations compared to the images on this page. The duo set consists of one textile in primarily cold tones and one in primarily warm tones.

Washing and care instructions

All Odds & Ends textiles can be washed at 30°C in the washing machine's cotton program together with similar colours. To preserve the intensity of the colors, an organic detergent is recommended for colored washing.

To extend the life of the textiles, air drying is recommended, but terrycloth products such as soft towels – especially those with a velor surface – may benefit from an occasional tumble dryer on medium heat to soften the fibers without the use of chemical fabric softeners.

If you live in an area with chalky water, you can soften both your textiles and washing machine by adding citric acid or vinegar to the rinse cycle from time to time.

Loose Threads

This product is woven with terry loops to ensure a soft and absorbent quality. Newly woven terry loops can be more prone to loose threads, so be careful with jewelry when first worn.

If a thread should come loose, never pull it! Carefully cut it off with sharp scissors – this will prevent further loose threads and will not affect the woven structure of the textiles. After the first few washes, the fibers will become more resistant to snags.

Usage and Safety
For the best experience with your air freshener, we recommend the following:
 

1. Shake the bottle: Shake thoroughly before each use to blend the natural oils.

2. Spray in the room: Press the atomizer and spray into the open space as needed.

3. Avoid contact: Do not spray directly onto the body, in the face, or on delicate textiles.

Important Information
Lavender has a naturally calming effect that can lower blood pressure. Individuals with very low blood pressure should use the product with caution. As the product contains natural plant extracts, please be aware of potential allergic reactions to the natural ingredients.

Ingredients
Denat. alcohol, water, organic lavender essential oil (Lavandula hybrida sp. Grosso), Linalool, D-Limonene (natural components of essential oil).

Block candles made of pure beeswax from Aarhusian BISTAD

Here you get a completely natural block candle made from pure beeswax from Grøn Voks Pulje - i.e. wax that comes from bee farms where neither pesticides nor antibiotics are used.

It is a beautiful candle in all its simplicity and naturalness - and a much better light for the environment. Beeswax candles are a natural and chemical-free alternative to candles made of stearin and paraffin.

This product is handmade in Aarhus, among others. of vulnerable citizens. Minor variations may therefore occur in the individual products. It has no effect on the quality of the light.

BISTAD is a social economy company where there is always room for "the weird". We clearly support that at Økofamily.

• for vulnerable citizens
• for the honey bee
• for your indoor climate
• for nature
• for the CO2 released
• for yourself and your loved ones

How to use your beeswax candle correctly and safely

• Continuously cut the wick down - this way the candle burns best and slowly, and you avoid the candle becoming sooty.
• At the same time, you must avoid drafts in the room, where the light is.
• The wick should burn up by itself, but if a small piece falls off and lands in the light, it reduces the quality of the fire.

Also, pay attention to the fire authorities' instructions for burning candles:

• Never leave a lighted candles.
• Always place lit candles so that children and animals cannot knock them over.
• Always supervise candles.
• Always turn off candles when you go to bed or leave the home.
• Calves must be placed well away from fluttering curtains.
• Never have candles in children's rooms.
• Candles (especially tealights) can float out and begin to burn
• Do not blow out light, but smother the flame. For example with a pot that is placed over the candle(s) with the bottom in the air.

1 kg. soap nuts from the Cocoon company.

2 small cotton bags are included that you can use as washing bags for your soap nuts.

What are soap nuts?

The soap nuts come from Inden, where they grow on big beautiful trees at the foot of The Himmalaya Mountains.

Washnuts are like berries with the nuts separated. So soapnuts are actually a misleading term, because only the berry is used for soap.

The soapnuts can be used for washing clothes, dishes, as shampoo, for shaving and for cleaning.

The soapnuts contain an organic substance called saponin. Saponin has an ability to dissolve and remove dirt.

The saponin is released when it comes into contact with water above 30 degrees and works like soap.

You therefore do not have to worry about whether the washing nuts release soap when the clothes are rinsed. Because the rinse water is cold and the soap nuts will therefore not release saponin into the cold water.

How are soap nuts used?

The soap bars are placed in the included laundry bag and put into the drum of the washing machine.

The number of soap bars that you should use depends a little on how dirty the laundry is and how much you wash at a time.

Here you should try your hand a bit.

However, it is generally recommended to use 4-5 soap berries per load. wash.

If you live in an area with hard water, add calcifier if you live in an area with hard water.

Add bleach for white laundry.

The soap carriers work at washing temperatures between 30 and 90 degrees. However, you can use a liquid detergent, extracted from soap berries, for very short washes.

Alternatively, you can soak the soap bars in warm water for a while before use.

The soap bars are very gentle and also work very well for wool and silk.

How long can the soap nuts be used?

High temperatures will release more saponin from the soap bars than low temperatures.

When the soap bars become light and soft, they are exhausted.

Please put the used soap bars in the compost after use.

What is a Stasher Bag?

A Stasher Bag is a reusable and completely sealed silicone bag for storing your food, your toiletries and the like.

It is also brilliant for packed lunches.

A Stasher Bag can replace zip bags or the classic freezer bag and can be used thousands of times times.

Stasher Bags are made of pure platinum silicone, which is the absolute purest form of silicone. It is also called "liquid glass". You can safely store your food in it - including fatty and acidic ones.

Platinum-hardened silicone is primarily made of sand and oxygen. No fossil resources are therefore used in the production of Stasher Bags, nor resources that could otherwise be used for food production.

Stasher Bags can also withstand heating in the oven, microwave and sous vide pan.

The silicone bags are completely airtight when closed.

Stasher's products are produced under responsible and good conditions in China, where Stasher himself makes sure to visit the factory to make sure the conditions are as they should be.

How to use your Stasher Bag

As you have probably already discovered, you can Stasher Bags are used for a great deal. Here are some tips for use in the oven, microwave, sous vide pot and freezer.

Stasher in the oven: Place your open bag on a baking tray and put it in the oven. We recommend heating at a maximum of 210 degrees. And leave the bag slightly open so that the steam can escape.Stasher in the microwave: Leave the bag open here too when you heat food in the microwave. If you are going to make popcorn, we recommend a Stasher Stand-up. It gives a little more space to pop.Stasher in Sous vide pot: Put the food in the bag and slowly lower it into the water. The heat causes the air to seep out of the bag and will create a vacuum around the food. Close the bag and make sure it is completely closed when it is in the water. Prepare as you normally would, but now completely without plastic.Stasher in the freezer: Use Stasher Bags to freeze your food. They are brilliant for leftovers from dinner or for wet food such as fruit or meat. Stasher Bags do not take up much space in the freezer and since they are transparent, they provide a good overview.

Tips for Stasher Bags

Write on your Stasher Bag with a whiteboard pen. It comes off easily in the wash

Your Stasher Bag may be discolored by certain foods (tomato and the like). A little smell can also be transferred if you have used your stasher bag for strong foods. Both parts can be remedied with a little baking soda and lemon.

If they get a little discolored over time, you can use vinegar and baking soda to remove them, and if that doesn't work, we have another tip up our sleeve as well.

If you have Stasher bags in Clear or lighter versions, the best way to remove discoloration is to actually let the sun do the work. If you leave your bags out in the sun for a few hours or 3, the UV rays will work to remove the discolouration.

Of course, that requires it to be out in the sky.

You can also remove food smells by putting your stasher bags in the oven at 175 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Make sure they cool down again before handling them.

You can also soak them in hot water with a little vinegar and salt for an hour. It can also help.

And then the best tip is probably just to use it again and again and again :-)

Cleaning your Stasher Bag

Please put your Stasher bag in the dishwasher. It can easily withstand that.

Otherwise you can clean it by hand washing.

Stasher Bags are produced in China under proper conditions.

Do you know Puer?

A really effective and versatile product.

Puer is an oxygen-based bleach and stain remover - which also degreases and disinfects.

This bag contains 1 kg.

What can you use puer for?

Puer can be used for so many different things in the household.

For example, use it as:

• Bleach when you wash white - add 1-2 tbsp. together with your detergent
• Soaking very dirty clothes (white and colourfast) - 1-2 tbsp. for 10 liters of water
• Cleaning the toilet - pour puer into the toilet together with boiling water and leave to work overnight. Then scrub clean with the toilet brush
• Cleaning drains - pour 1-2 tbsp. Puer down the drain (preferably with vinegar). It dissolves greasy deposits. Leave on for at least 15 minutes

Puer or sodium percarbonate is oxygen-enriched washing soda (sodium carbonate). When activated with hot water, oxygen is released and hydrogen peroxide is formed, which has a bleaching effect. The hydrogen atmosphere also has a disinfecting effect.

Puer breaks down into water and oxygen with a lot of fizz and foam, so it is completely biodegradable.

For Puer to work properly, it must be used with water with a temperature of at least 40 degrees. The powder does not dissolve or activate in cold water.

Heavy flow

The Flow 4 menstrual panty is made for heavy flow and provides extra security and comfort, regardless of whether you use it at night, postpartum or on days when you need both more coverage and high absorbency. At the same time, the material is soft and comfortable against the skin.

Flow 4 is the most absorbent menstrual panty, but do you really know how much you bleed?

Few people have a complete grasp of it (unless you are used to using a menstrual cup), as even a small amount of blood can seem like a lot when it hits the toilet. With us, moderate flow means approximately the same as 1-2 ordinary tampons, corresponding to around 15-20 ml of blood.

If you bleed very heavily, i.e. e.g. need to change pads every/every two hours, then we would recommend that you combine your menstrual panties with a disc or menstruationskop.

The panties have a built-in three-layer technology that directs blood away from the skin, absorbs it and protects you from seepage. All in an elegant design that makes it possible to forget you're bleeding at all – this is how many in Flow’s community describe their experience.

Materials

Outer:
95% organic cotton - 5% elastane

Technical layers:
Top layer: 70% cotton, 30% PLA

Washing instructions

Use your panties as normal, rinse them in cold water after use, and then wash them at 30 or 40 degrees together with your other laundry.

Modern detergents are very effective, so you can easily get the panties clean at low temperatures.

Tumble dryers are not recommended – it wears down the absorbent layer and shortens the life of the panties, while also putting an unnecessary burden on the environment.

The shampoo bar foams richly and softly, which makes it easy to use, as only a small amount is needed with each wash.

How to use your Kystnær shampoo

• Moisten the hair
• Move the bar around the hair until it foams
• Put the bar down and massage the hair and scalp
• Wash the hair until all the shampoo has been rinsed out
• Use Kystnær conditioner bar if needed
• Rinse the bar clean and store it dry

The bar lasts longer if it is allowed to dry between uses.
Kystnær shampoo bar can be used for approx. 30-40 hair washes.
