Introducing LEAF: plastic-free cleaning sheets that replace a shelf of bottles
Foremost is launching Leaf, a range of pre-dosed, dissolvable cleaning sheets that cut shipped water, plastic packaging and dosing guesswork out of everyday cleaning, without changing the clean itself.
You're paying to ship, and store water
Most traditional cleaning products (liquids, powders, pods) are mostly water.
Businesses pay to ship it, pay to store it, and pay staff to lift it, long before it does any actual cleaning.
For anyone managing cleaning across multiple sites, that adds up to real freight cost, real storeroom space, and real manual-handling risk.
LEAF removes the water from the supply chain entirely. Each product is a full-strength dose of cleaning solution, compressed into a thin, dissolvable sheet. The customer adds the water themselves, at the point of use - a spray bottle, a mop bucket, a washing machine drum.
How it works
The process is the same across the whole range:
1. Take one pre-dosed sheet
2. Drop it in water
3. It dissolves fully at 20 °C
4. Clean as normal with no residue
One system, six sheets
The launch range covers every routine cleaning task with the same format and process:
Bio & Non-Bio Laundry Detergent - one sheet per wash, enzyme or enzyme-free.
Multi-Purpose Cleaning - one sheet per spray bottle for kitchens, bathrooms and worktops.
Toilet Cleaning - one sheet per spray bottle, targets limescale.
Floor Cleaning - one sheet per mop bucket, for all sealed hard floors.
Dish Washing - one sheet per dishwasher cycle, any programme.
The sustainability case, by the numbers
16x lighter to ship & store
0 plastic packaging and microplastics
20 °C full-dissolve temperature
2 year shelf life
Every sheet uses 100% plastic-free, recyclable packaging, and the water-soluble carrier itself is free from microplastics. Because no water is shipped, freight and storage volumes drop dramatically, and because every sheet is exactly one dose, there's no overuse, and nothing is poured away by mistake. The full range is vegan and cruelty-free.
Who it's for
Leaf is built for anyone who cleans at scale (contract cleaners, hospitality, offices, healthcare and facilities teams) where storeroom space, training time and dosing consistency are real operational costs.
Because one sheet is always the correct dose, teams can standardise the same product and process across every site, with no measuring and no training overhead.
Frequently asked questions
Does Leaf clean as well as liquid, powder, or pods?
Yes. Each sheet contains the same amount of active ingredient as a conventional dose, only the format is compressed rather than diluted or encapsulated.
Does the water need to be hot?
No, every sheet dissolves fully from 20°C, so cold tap water works. Bio Laundry performs best below 60°C, since heat denatures its stain-removing enzymes.
Is the sheet itself made of plastic?
No. The carrier is a low percentage of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a water-soluble polymer that fully dissolves and contains no microplastics.
How long do the sheets last in storage?
Two years from the date of manufacture, stored sealed in a cool, dry location.
