The Plant-Based Solution
His Worms Came Back By The Thousands.
Wayne and Sue live on Waiheke Island, where Wayne built worm farms as a natural septic system. It was a brilliant, sustainable setup — until his supermarket dish liquid started killing all the worms.
When Nicola visited, she brought Real World products for Wayne to try. Within weeks, the worms came back by the thousands. The difference? Plant-based formulas that clean without destroying the biology your land depends on.
- 100% safe for septic tanks, worm farms, and greywater systems
- No sulfate surfactants, no synthetic fragrances, no petrochemicals
- Tough on grease — gentle on your hands and your land
- Made in small batches in our own factory in Hawke's Bay

Safe For Our Septic System
"We live rurally with a septic tank and I've always worried about what goes down the drain. Since switching to Real World, our system runs perfectly and my hands aren't cracked anymore. The dishwashing liquid is incredible."
Our Worm Farm Is Thriving Again
"We had the same problem as Wayne — our worm farm was struggling and we couldn't figure out why. Turns out it was the supermarket dish liquid. Switched to Real World and the worms bounced back within weeks. Incredible difference."
Finally, Products I Can Trust
"Living off-grid means everything we use ends up in the soil. Real World is the only brand I trust to wash dishes, clean benches, and wash our hands without poisoning the garden. And it smells beautiful."
Gentle On My Eczema-Prone Hands
"I've had eczema on my hands for years and every supermarket dish liquid made it worse. The Horopito dishwashing liquid is the first one that doesn't flare my skin. It cuts through grease and my hands feel soft after."
The Whole Property Benefits
"We're on tank water with greywater going to the garden. Since switching to Real World, our plants are healthier and I don't worry about chemical runoff anymore. The bench spray is a game changer — no fumes, no residue."
Best Bundle Deal Going
"The build your own bundle is such great value. I picked the dishwashing liquid, hand wash, and bench spray — saved $50 and got free shipping. Everything is plant-based and made in NZ. Can't beat it."
Made By Us. For You.
We Make Every Product In Our Own Factory In Hastings.
Real World started because we couldn't find products that were genuinely good for our family and our land. So we built a factory in Hastings and started making them ourselves — plant-based formulas with native NZ botanicals, made in small batches, with full control over every ingredient.
When we visited Wayne and Sue on Waiheke Island and saw what supermarket products were doing to their worm farm, it confirmed everything we believed. If a dish liquid kills worms, it has no place in your home. Our products are safe for septic systems, worm farms, greywater, and — most importantly — your family.
— Nicola & Adam, Founders of Real World
