How Make Nice Company’s Zero-Waste Essentials Can Transform Your Kitchen
If climate change and increasingly severe weather events have you looking for ways to step up your eco-friendly efforts, the kitchen is a great place to start. After all, it's where most of us spend a lot of time, and small changes here can make a big impact. So, are you making a difference? Could you do more to pursue an eco-friendly lifestyle and create a zero-waste kitchen?
The answer is a resounding yes—and it’s simpler than you might think, thanks to three words: Make Nice Company. This Canadian brand is committed to reducing plastic waste with solid dish soap bars and eco-friendly accessories that make sustainable living both easy and enjoyable. Made from eco-conscious, chemical-free materials, Make Nice products are redefining what it means to keep a clean, green home.
Why Choose Make Nice Solid Dish Soap?
Curious if a bar of dish soap can match the suds and cleaning power of your current liquid soap?
Of course! Fair question. But rest assured, Make Nice Solid Dish Soap is designed to deliver effective, suds-laden performance that leave your dishes ‘squeaky clean!’ Each bar is thoughtfully crafted with vegan, natural ingredients including olive oil for gentle cleansing, and coconut oil for extra grease-fighting power. Free from palm oil and parabens, these soaps are handcrafted in Vancouver, BC in small batches. It’s quality, you can trust.
Each solid dish soap bar lasts four to six months, replacing up to three plastic bottles of liquid dish soap and thereby significantly reducing plastic waste. Plus, with the option of convenient 240g bars (in a bundle pack) or a jumbo 660g option, you can easily load up for extended use without constantly restocking.
Using Solid Dish Soap: Simple as 1-2-3
- Create suds by rubbing the bar with a scrubber brush, dish brush, loofah, or sponge cloth.
- Wash and rinse well with warm water, to keep your dishes spotless.
- Store on a soap tray to keep the bar dry between uses and extend its lifespan.
You can complete the eco-friendly dishwashing experience by pairing the solid dish soap with Make Nice compostable sponge cloths, loofah scrubbers, and biodegradable dish brushes.
Scented and Unscented Options for Every Preference
A variety of scents ensures there’s something for everyone:
Charcoal Dish Soap (Unscented): Infused with activated charcoal, this bar is more than your average soap. The charcoal absorbs toxins and fights bacteria, keeping your dishes sanitized as well as company-calling clean.
‘Scrap’ Solid Dish Soap (Unscented): Crafted entirely from remnants of other dish soaps, each ‘Scrap bar’ is a unique mosaic of the various soaps under the Make Nice banner. This reduces waste while delivering powerful performance.
Citrus Dish Soap: Infused with essential oils of lemon, blood orange, and bergamot, this bright, refreshing bar is a burst of sunshine in every sink full.
Mint + Eucalyptus Dish Soap: This earthy blend of peppermint, eucalyptus, and rosemary lends a cool, calming aromatic backdrop to your dishwashing routine.
If you’re curious but hesitant to commit, Make Nice also offers mini versions of their soap bars. They’re perfect for trying out the product, or for use on camping trips or other travel. They pack the same cleaning power, but in a travel-friendly size.
The Full Make Nice Cleaning Squad
To truly transform your kitchen into a zero-waste haven, the full eco-friendly Make Nice product line goes beyond soap:
- Sponge Cloths: Designed to replace up to 20 rolls of paper towels, these long-lasting, compostable cloths are naturally antibacterial and hold more liquid, making them both cost-effective and sustainable.
- Loofah Scrubbers: The loofah plant’s natural texture is perfect for scrubbing stuck-on food without scratching. Once worn out, these scrubbers are fully compostable.
- Dish Brushes: Durable and biodegradable, Make Nice dish brushes feature replaceable heads for even more waste reduction. When they’ve reached the end of their life, they can go straight to the compost.

From Inspiration to Creation: Meet Bonnie Yang
The founder of Make Nice Company began her journey by coming up with a zero-waste alternative to liquid dish soap. After successfully replacing her own body wash and shampoo with solid alternatives, Bonnie noticed there weren’t any eco-friendly options for dish soap. Her solution was to create her own.
Months of research and testing led her to a formulation that’s simple, effective, and entirely natural. With a background in apparel designer and an avid rock climber, Bonnie’s values of sustainability, simplicity, and resilience are readily evident in each Make Nice product.
