Solution Solution.

Tell us about your line of laundry products, Solution Solution, and how it all began?

Solution Solution is a laundry brand for the modern world: where everybody has laundry but nobody has a spare moment. We realize that doing the washing is not something you necessarily look forward to so we have tried to create products to make the laundry more enjoyable. Our washes smell beautiful and are very gentle so you don't need to worry about damaging your clothes. That's really how Solution Solution was born. Katie and I both love clothes but noticed that there was a massive knowledge gap when it came to taking care of them. Our website and blog is filled with information on how to properly care for your clothes which complements our washes.

What are the goals for Solution Solution in the coming year?

We see ourselves as the new science, and the lost art of laundry. Hopefully we can revitalise the garment care industry! We want to teach people how to love their clothes longer and encourage them to learn about their clothing too. At Hustle&Scout where you have the opportunity to speak with designers that process is simpler.

You developed the formula for your products in partnership with the CSIRO, what did you enjoy about that experience?

Katie has degrees in Chemistry and Pharmacy. She developed all of our products herself and then approached The CSIRO to use technology in order to make our innovative products as effective as possible. It has been a great process which we have thoroughly enjoyed. Utilising science in such a surprising and unexpected way has been so much fun. As a non scientist I have learnt a lot.

When you're not working, what do you like to do for fun?

I actually do enjoy doing the washing now! So that's nice, because it has to be done. I am currently completing my honours and Katie is completing her Doctorate in Jurisprudence. I am also in a musical currently and Katie has two beautiful children. That takes up all of our time and some!

What is it about Hustle&Scout that made you want to be involved?

Katie and I have both attended Hustle & Scout in the past. We love the high quality goods that we see at hustle and scout and we obviously love fashion. Supporting local businesses is also really important to us. Art is at the core of our brand and it a big part of Hustle & Scout. So the fact that Hustle & Scout was a fusion of these things made it something we were really keen to be a part of.

MY FAVE THINGS

What you wanted to be when you grew up: Katie: Everything! So being an entrepreneur lets me do that by working in art, science and laundry. Jo: I wanted to pick up rubbish from the side of the road with a stick. As you can see I have always wanted things to be as clean as possible.

Your role model/s: Katie: SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she is tough, intelligent and classy. Jo: Dr Catherine Hamlin - her complete commitment to the improvement of the lives of women is awe inspiring.

Meal to have cooked for you: Katie: Anything, and I will eat it all! I love food but I would much rather do laundry than cook. Jo: Butter Chicken - naturally I love food that is incredibly likely to stain your clothing.

Country you have visited: Katie: Africa, it is just so different, it influences your perspective on life. Jo: Oman. I don't even feel like I need to explain why - it is so beautiful.

Song on your ultimate mix tape: Dirty Laundry by Kelly Rowland and Cleaning out my closet by Eminem - as you can see we like themed R&B.
