The Plant-Based Solution
Safe For Worms. Safe For Your Skin.
Wayne on Waiheke Island built worm farms as a natural septic system. Everything that went down the kitchen drain ended up in the worm farm. But supermarket dish liquid was killing all the worms — wiping out the very ecosystem that processed his household wastewater. When he switched to Real World, the worms came back by the thousands.
If those chemicals kill worms on contact, imagine what they're doing to the skin on your hands every time you wash the dishes. Real World products are different — genuinely plant-based, gentle on your skin, and safe for everything downstream.

- Gentle on hands — no cracking, no drying, no irritation after washing up
- Safe for drains, septic tanks, worm farms, and greywater systems
- Made with NZ native botanicals in our own factory in Hastings
- Actually works — cuts through grease and grime without compromise

My Hands Finally Stopped Cracking
"I wash dishes by hand every night and my hands were always dry and cracked from supermarket dish liquid. Switched to Real World and within a week the difference was incredible. Cuts through grease just as well — better, actually — and my hands feel soft."
No More Chemical Smell In The Kitchen
"The artificial fragrance from our old bench spray used to linger for hours. Real World smells like actual plants — subtle and clean. I can spray the benches while cooking and it doesn't overpower the food. Absolute game changer for our kitchen."
Safe For Our Worm Farm
"We run a worm farm septic system and supermarket products were killing everything. Switched to Real World and within weeks the worms were thriving again. The dish liquid cuts grease just as well — no compromise at all."
Best Hand Wash We've Ever Used
"After handling garlic, onions, and raw meat all evening, this hand wash gets everything clean without stripping my skin. The Blood Orange scent is gorgeous and it actually moisturises. We keep one at every sink now."
The Bundle Is Amazing Value
"Picked the dish liquid, bench spray, and hand wash in the bundle builder and saved nearly $50. Got everything our kitchen needs in one go. The products are beautiful on the bench too — no more hiding ugly bottles under the sink."
Gentle Enough For Eczema
"I have eczema on my hands and every dish liquid I've tried makes it worse. Real World is the first one that doesn't flare me up. I can do the dishes without gloves now. Plant-based really does make a difference."
Made By Us. For You.
Made In Our Own Factory In Hastings.
We started Real World because we couldn't find cleaning products that were genuinely plant-based, actually effective, and gentle enough to use every day without wrecking our skin. So we built our own factory in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, and started making them ourselves.
Every bottle is formulated and filled by our team using NZ native botanicals — Kōwhai, Koromiko, Horopito, and Mānuka Honey. No synthetic fragrances, no petrochemicals, no greenwashing. Just honest products that work for your kitchen, your skin, and your environment — whether that's a worm farm, a septic tank, or a greywater system.
— Nicola & Adam, Founders of Real World
