Making the switch from harsh, chemical-based cleaning solutions to natural formulas can take a lot of investigating. You probably don’t have the spare time to play detective, even though you really want to keep a safe, sparkly clean home for your family. Don’t throw in the dish towel just yet. I’ve done the dirty work for you and found some of the best green cleaning products for your home.
Bathrooms & Kitchen Counters
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Multi-Surface Concentrate in Lemon Verbena – The scent lingers for a day or two, but it’s not too strong. I love that the concentrate goes far with very little product and much less effort – even in tight spaces!
Method ANTIBAC Antibacterial Bathroom Cleaner in Spearmint – I spray my bathtub daily with vinegar and water, so I don’t let a lot of mold accumulate. But once a week, this is my go-to for a deep clean. The best part: no headache-inducing bleach!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® Room Freshener in Lemon Verbena – I primarily keep this in the bathroom, but I’ve been known to use it on furniture and around the cat’s litter box. For pet owners, I highly recommend this lovely spray!
Method Gel Hand Wash Refill in Pink Grapefruit – Refilling soap containers is always the more environmentally friendly option. This pack refills three bottles, it provides vitamin E and aloe and has a refreshing citrus scent!
Ecover Automatic Dishwasher Tablets – My dishes always come out shiny and clean. I don’t notice any difference between this one and the other detergents I was using. Plus, there’s a lot of relief in knowing that I’m not putting chemicals on the plates and utensils that I eat off of.
Furniture
Method Wood for Good Daily Clean in Almond – It picks up dust and leaves the room smelling so much better. It leaves the wood hydrated without that greasy-looking shine that other wood polishers do.
Laundry
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® Laundry Detergent in Geranium – I used to use the big brand favorite in the red bottle, but this is actually a less expensive replacement – and it’s natural! It may look like a small bottle, but it’s very concentrated and will last a long time.
