What Does “Flushable” Really Mean? The word flushable gets thrown around a lot — but not every wipe that claims it can be safely flushed actually should be. In fact, many so-called flushable wipes contain plastics that don’t properly break down once they’re in your plumbing or wastewater systems. That’s where SoFresh Clean Cheeks wipes stand apart. They’re made using plant-based fibres that are designed to disperse and biodegrade after flushing, when used correctly — one wipe per flush.     The Problem with Most Wipes Water authorities across Australia have spent years dealing with blockages caused by wipes that don’t break down. These clogs can lead to expensive plumbing issues at home and major damage to municipal sewer systems. In most cases, the issue comes down to materials. If a wipe contains synthetic or plastic fibres, it won’t disintegrate properly in water. It might look soft and natural, but it behaves more like fabric than paper once flushed.     What Makes SoFresh Clean Cheeks Different SoFresh Clean Cheeks wipes are made from 100% plant-based cellulose fibres, free from plastics and non-biodegradable materials. They’re tested against the international IWSFG and INDA GD4 international flushability guidelines, which measure how wipes break down under real-world plumbing conditions.     How They Break Down When a SoFresh Clean Cheeks wipe is flushed, it starts to lose strength and separate as it moves through water. Unlike wipes made with plastic or polyester, SoFresh wipes won’t cling together or form clumps that cause blockages. This is achieved through fibre composition — our wipes are made using natural, short-length fibres that naturally disperse once saturated in water movement.     🌏 Responsible Hygiene Starts Here SoFresh believes that convenience shouldn’t come at the expense of the environment or your plumbing. Our wipes are safe when used responsibly — giving you a clean, comfortable, and truly flushable hygiene option. Stay Fresh with SoFresh — Shop now!  

Clean Comfort Matters More Than Ever Whether it’s a haircut, facial, or massage, one thing every client expects from their salon or spa visit is freshness and hygiene. While technique and ambience create the experience, cleanliness defines the trust. That’s why more salons and wellness centres across Australia are choosing pre-moistened, disposable wet towels — like SoFresh Wet Towels — as part of their hygiene routine. They’re not just convenient; they’re a smarter, more sanitary alternative to traditional reusable cloth towels.     The Challenge with Reusable Towels Conventional salon and spa towels are washed and reused multiple times a day. But even with regular laundering, reusable towels can accumulate:  Residue from hair products or oils  Bacteria and fungi from skin contact  Chemical traces from detergents or disinfectants According to hygiene standards for personal services (as outlined by Australian state health departments), towels that come into contact with skin or body fluids must be properly sanitised between uses. Yet, in busy environments, maintaining that consistency isn’t always easy — especially when load turnover and drying times are tight.     The Rise of Disposable Wet Towels Disposable wet towels are now becoming a standard hygiene upgrade across professional salons and spas. They provide the cleanliness of a freshly laundered towel — without the laundry. Benefits include: One-time use = zero cross-contamination Time savings — no washing, drying, or folding Consistent freshness with every client Waste reduction when using biodegradable options And with SoFresh Wet Towels, salons no longer have to choose between convenience and sustainability.     Why SoFresh Wet Towels Work in Salons and Spas Hygienic by Design Each SoFresh Salons & Spas Wet Towel is individually sealed and ready for single use. They’re infused with a gentle, pH-balanced cleansing solution that’s dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types — including sensitive skin often exposed to waxing, shaving, or exfoliation treatments. Because every towel is opened fresh, there’s no risk of residue or bacterial carryover between clients.     Soft, Durable, and Gentle on Skin Made from plant-based fibres, SoFresh Wet Towels are strong enough for professional use but soft enough for delicate facial or body applications. They won’t tear easily, even when used warm or cool. Many salons use them to: Refresh the client’s face or neck before and after treatments Remove excess product (like facial masks or oils) Wipe hands, tools, or surfaces during service Offer clients a cooling wipe after a spa or steam treatment     How Salons Are Using SoFresh Towels Across Australia, SoFresh Wet Towels are now being used in:  Hair salons — for neck and face wipes after cuts and colouring  Beauty salons — for facial cleansing before treatments  Massage and spa centres — for post-treatment refreshment  Nail and lash studios — for quick hand and tool hygiene They fit neatly into existing workflows and offer a quick, disposable hygiene step that clients appreciate.     The Clean Future of Beauty The shift towards disposable wet towels in professional salons isn’t just a trend — it’s the new hygiene standard. Clients expect it, and health regulations increasingly encourage it. SoFresh makes it easy to stay compliant, professional, and sustainable     Stay Fresh with SoFresh — the professional choice for clean, confident, and eco-conscious care.  

We’ve All Been There It’s not exactly dinner-table talk, but everyone’s had that thought at least once: is toilet paper really enough? You might not say it out loud, but let’s be honest — sometimes the “clean” we get doesn’t really feel clean. In a world where we’ve upgraded everything from toothbrushes to tech, it’s fair to ask why the most basic part of our hygiene routine hasn’t evolved much in decades.     The Old Standard: Toilet Paper Toilet paper has been around in one form or another for centuries. It’s easy, accessible, and it does the job — at least on the surface. But here’s the truth: dry paper removes residue, not bacteria. That’s fine for some situations, but not always ideal for sensitive skin or when you want to feel properly fresh. Most of us were taught to think toilet paper equals clean because it’s what’s always been there. But once you start questioning it — especially after certain meals or long days — you realise it’s more a habit than a solution.     The Rise of the Wet Wipe Then came wet wipes — originally designed for babies, now quietly adopted by adults who prefer feeling actually clean. The appeal is simple: they lift away residue, odour, and bacteria, not just smear it. For people with sensitive skin, certain health conditions, or simply higher hygiene standards, wipes make sense. There’s also that undeniable feeling — cool, clean, fresh — that dry paper just doesn’t deliver.     A Middle Ground — Modern Flushable Wipes The good news? Hygiene has evolved. Today, plant-based flushable wipes exist that bridge the gap — the cleanliness of a wet wipe, with the environmental safety of tissue. They’re made from biodegradable cellulose fibres, meaning they break down naturally after flushing (when used correctly, one wipe at a time). These newer wipes — like the ones SoFresh developed — are free from plastic, pH-balanced, and dermatologically tested. They’re designed for people who want to feel clean and do the right thing.      So… What’s Actually Cleaner? The answer might be less about “which” and more about how. Clean is what leaves you comfortable, confident, and kind — to yourself. For some, that’s toilet paper. For others, that’s a flushable wipe. And for many, it’s both — working together, quietly, to keep life moving smoothly. However you do it, clean should feel effortless — not wasteful, not irritating, and not guilt-ridden.     Stay Fresh with SoFresh — Clean that feels right, every time.
