Took too long but otherwise it was great. The courier you use does not deliver on the weekends so it adds a minimum of 2 days, possibly 4 because of that.

Good to know
A few things worth knowing
Candles & scent
Candles from Nova Scotia makers
Our candle shelf leans local. Alben Lane and Lawrencetown Candle Co pour theirs in Nova Scotia, alongside Circle and Wick and other small Canadian studios.
Most are soy, coconut or beeswax with cotton or wood wicks. Check each product page for the details.
Refillery
Refill dish soap and laundry detergent
Bring a clean container. Any bottle or jar works, and there are empty bottles at the station if you forget.
Weigh it empty, then fill. You pay only for what goes in.
Label it at home. Keep the product name and directions with the bottle.
It is the easiest way into zero waste shopping: no new bottle and no new packaging.
Scent
Scented or fragrance-free?
For a sensitive nose, a baby in the house or just a preference, our fragrance-free cleaners have nothing added for scent. The scented versions do the same jobs, so choose by what you like to smell when the cleaning is done.

Questions
Questions we get a lot
Something we didn’t cover? Call Bedford at (902) 835-9319 or Dartmouth at (782) 358-2374, or ask us in chat.
Do natural cleaners actually work?
The ones we carry do. We use them in our stores. Plant-based surfactants and enzymes do the cleaning; what they leave out is the chlorine bleach and ammonia.
Can I refill cleaning products?
Yes. Laundry detergent, dish soap, all-purpose cleaner, hand soap and more are on the refillery at both stores, next to body care refills like shampoo and body wash. Bring any clean container; you pay by weight.
Where can I buy eco-friendly cleaning products in Halifax?
At either Luminate Co store: 486 Starboard Drive in Bedford, just off Larry Uteck Boulevard, and 590 Portland Street in Dartmouth, at the corner of Baker Drive. Both are open seven days, with parking out front. You can also order online for pickup, or for same-day delivery across Halifax and most of HRM when you order by 11 am.
What makes a cleaning product eco-friendly?
Look at what is in it and what it comes in. Plant-based ingredients, biodegradable formulas and concentrated or refillable formats are a good start, and eco-friendly packaging (or none at all, at the refillery) cuts waste further. We look for brands that list their ingredients in full.
What are your candles made of?
Mostly soy, coconut or beeswax with cotton or wood wicks, and many are poured in Nova Scotia. Check each product page for the details.
Do household products ship?
Most do, anywhere in Canada, free on orders over $80. Some large liquids are local delivery or in store only, and the product page says so.
