The Kitchen
The room where safe actually matters, because most of what happens here ends up in food or in the air. We read the ingredient lists and the coating specifications line by line, chase the certificate numbers, and cost everything by what it really costs to use rather than what is on the shelf edge.

Costed by what a cartridge actually delivers before the four week clock runs out, not by the litres on the box. Two of the six are genuinely certified. One costs £230 a year to run.

Four of the six will not tell you how much to use, which makes their concentration claims impossible to check. The cheapest and the most famous are also the two with the preservatives most linked to hand eczema.

7.5p a tablet against 33.3p for the same job. Plus the water hardness limit at which the all in one claim quietly stops being true, which only two brands will tell you.

Four of the six carry Danger and H314, causes severe skin burns. The phrase fume free is on three of them and it describes the smell, not the risk.

Plastic boards shed tens of grams a year. Wooden boards shed more particles, not fewer. The difference between those two facts is the whole argument.

Most kettles sold as stainless have a plastic lid, a plastic water window or a plastic filter, and all three sit in boiling water twice a day.
