What Our Customers Say About Our Store
Gene D, Marin:
"Great refillery for refilling your soaps, shampoo, body wash, and cleaning supplies! A great way to reduce our trash/recycling products. I frequently get dish soap & shampoo refilled here -- the store has a great selection, all sustainably sourced and quality products. The business owner is incredibly friendly & helpful. Please check it out (and stop buying endless plastic bottles for soap) if you consider yourself an environmentalist!
Donna K, Sonoma:
"I’ve been waiting for a store like this because with all climate change and other planet problems, we need to really do something. I have been to this store, buying laundry detergent sheets (no bulky plastic bottles). They also carry so many things such as cosmetics, teas, coffee, clothes, toys, gifts, dogs’ treats and so on. The owner is also very nice. He gave my dog treat every time we go in."
John D, Portland:
"Sustainable Exchange is more than a business; it’s a way to make a difference. I’ve seen firsthand how customers appreciate the staff and store's commitment to sustainability."
