Sorry folks – Nellie’s Wrinkle-B-Gone doesn’t work on the face (we’ve tried…), but it does work wonders on wrinkled clothes! Our plant-based formula removes static and wrinkles and freshens fabrics with Nellie’s signature lemongrass fragrance.

Who even has time to iron (other than your mother-in-law)? In as little as 5 minutes, you can have the same effect of an iron using the Wrinkle-B-Gone – really!

This amazing formula comes in a convenient travel size too!

At Nellie’s, we believe in keeping things SIMPLE.

The Nellie’s WOW Stick:

How our fan favourite stain fighter came to be

 
One of the perks of working for a small company like Nellie’s is that even the staff is encouraged to participate in product development!
Before the word WOW found its way onto some of our packaging, a few of the parents with young kids on the Nellie’s team saw a need for a natural stain remover. Oxygen Brightener was working wonders on all types of stains (in and out of the washer)... but it wasn’t portable. Bleach pens were quite popular... but not a natural solution.

During a weekly sales meeting, the idea of a powerful and natural stain remover came up and our owner (AKA Nellie's son) said, “if you think there is a need, let’s do it!”.
The team got busy. We had one goal: to have the Nellie’s stain remover outperform the others!
Working with a soap manufacturer, many samples were ordered, and a rigorous testing process began. All types of stains were applied to white shirts in the Nellie’s HQ kitchen, including tire grease, blood, soy sauce, coffee, hanger marks, and ink. The team tested and tested until a formula was able to remove all the stains successfully!
During the testing process, some of our employees would walk by and watch what was going on, exclaiming "WOW!" in awe from witnessing each stain disappear. We initially had another name for our stain remover picked out, but hearing "WOW" after "WOW", the name was pretty obvious, and the WOW Stick was born!

Fun Fact: The WOW Stick was the first Nellie’s product to have WOW in its name and lemongrass as a scent. Since then, lemongrass has become Nellie’s signature scent and WOW has made it into the name of more of our amazing products.
Since conception, customers regularly send us photos of their WOW Stick’s results. We love seeing the results and discovering new stains that this powerful little stick can tackle!

Packaging Update: You may have seen or received an older version of the WOW Stick that contains a paper wrapper around the stick. In an effort to reduce waste, we have recently removed the wrapper!

2020 Vision: Nellie's New Year's Resolutions

December is a great time to reflect on the year that passed, to look ahead at what 2020 has in store, and to set New Year's resolutions for what we hope to achieve. We wanted to take a minute to thank YOU for being a part our eco-friendly online community and providing us with valuable feedback throughout the year, which we're proud to put into action.
Here are our 2020 goals:
GLASS
We're moving to replace our plastic liquid containers with glass bottles. Why glass? There's too much plastic on Planet Earth. Glass is endlessly recyclable, eventually turns into sand, and won’t harm our oceans.
STRIVING TO BE PLASTIC FREE
To help eliminate plastic waste, our liquids (like our new Fresh Mist) will come without a spray nozzle. We're asking you to please consider reusing one from home first. If you don't have one, you can order one from our website for free.⁠⠀
NEW METAL TINS
We've heard you loud and clear: that small plastic bag inside our Laundry Soda tins has got to go! Right now, we've had to include that bag as our powders were causing corrosion with the metal inside the tin. We've developed new packaging that won't spill during shipping, won't cause corrosion, and is still recyclable.
USING LESS

One of the biggest pieces of feedback we've received this year is that our customers want to use less packaging and to see more bulk options. We will be adding a few more options for bulk buckets and introducing liquid refill options!
REUSE... THEN RECYCLE
You already know that you can reuse your WOW Mop floor pads over and over - just throw them in the wash! But as for packaging, our goal is to offer items that can be reused first... and recycled second. Whether it's our metal tins that can act as storage containers or plant pots, or our Wool Dryerballs tin that doubles as a piggy bank, we will work to make sure all our packaging has a second use. We will also replace as much of our packaging as possible with more sustainable options, such as metal and glass, as those are some of the most easily recyclable materials and can be reused over and over.

Your Fall Cleaning Checklist:

What to Tackle in October

As the leaves begin to fall, the change of seasons is a great time to tackle big cleaning tasks to prepare your house for the winter.
Read below for what you should do make sure both the inside and outside of your house is in good shape once the weather gets unpleasant!

Inside Your House

Windows: Use All-Purpose Cleaner, or add a bit of One Soap in a spray bottle filled with water, and wipe down with a microfiber cloth. Pick a cloudy day so you can better see any streaks.
Vacuum: All those spots you’ve been neglecting. Yes, we mean take off your couch cushions and get right in there. Vacuum your drapes, vinyl shades, light fixtures, too. Spray your drapes with Wrinkle-B-Gone for that crisp, clean, wrinkle-free look.
Closets: Go through all your clothes and donate whatever you can. While homeless shelters see donations spike during the holidays, they are in need of items year-round. Donate what you can before it gets cold, and be sure to make sure it's washed well (with Laundry Soda, of course)!
Heat Sources: Replace your furnace filter, especially if you haven’t changed your furnace filter within the past three months. Sweep your chimney. Have a wood-burning fireplace? With chilly weather coming in, it’s a good time to have it professionally inspected and swept, before you start using it more frequently.
 

Outside Your House

Weather Stripping: Check your weather stripping and caulking around your doors and windows, so you don’t lose any precious heat. It’ll be much easier to do it now, rather than when it’s freezing and you’re working with an open window!
Gutters: This is a great time to check your gutters and make sure they’re ready for the upcoming weather changes. Don’t forget your downspouts!
Patio Furniture: Time to store away your patio cushions! Don’t forget to give everything a good wipe down – it’ll make your life easier when spring rolls around.
