The 7 Best Eco-Friendly Products Your Home Cleaning Kit Is Missing

Seventh Generation Disinfecting Spray Multi Purpose Cleaner ($5, originally $6)

Frequently touched surfaces — and the bacteria they leave behind — don't stand a chance against this multipurpose disinfecting spray. According to the brand, "it can be used on food contact surfaces and children's toys without the need for rinsing, making it a convenient and safe choice for various household cleaning tasks."

Attitude All Purpose Cleaner ($8)

The rave reviews of this all-purpose cleaner say it all. Not only does it effectively tackle dirt and grime, but it also comes in refreshing scents like citrus zest, grapefruit, and lavender. Plus, it's made with 94 percent naturally sourced ingredients and is PETA-certified vegan. "Since having a baby, I've really tried to cut down on harsh chemicals around the house," writes one of its many five-star reviewers. "I saw this recommended, and I've been really pleased. The price is reasonable, it effectively cleans, the smell is pleasant, and it's safe to use around my baby. I've already purchased my second bottle."

Aunt Fannie's Ultra Concentrated Floor Cleaner Vinegar Wash ($14)

With nearly 10,000 five-star ratings, it's no secret that Aunt Fannie's Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner is a top-seller among all of Amazon's floor cleaner options — and it's definitely a favorite in the eco-friendly category. It's vinegar-based but scented with essential oils to offset the smell and is super concentrated. "A little goes a long way!" an Amazon reviewer shared. "Just a capful in the mop bucket gets my floors sparkly clean and smelling like lemons."

AspenClean Unscented Oxygen Bleach Powder and Color Safe Stain Remover ($18, originally $20)

Bleach isn't exactly the most eco-friendly option, which is why we had to spotlight this EWG-Verified bleach alternative. It uses sodium carbonate, an unscented ingredient that delivers stain-removing and brightening power similar to bleach but without the harshness. Plus, it's color-safe, too.

9 Elements Bathroom Cleaner ($25)

This bathroom cleaner makes quick work of soap scum, hard water buildup, and grime, according to Amazon reviewers who've used it on ceramic, tile, porcelain, and more. If you're unfamiliar with the brand, it's known for keeping things simple. Every product features nine ingredients or fewer (hence the name). This particular formula is powered by vinegar for deep cleaning but balanced with eucalyptus essential oil, so the scent isn't too overpowering.

Blueland Dishwasher Detergent Tablet Starter Set ($30)

Here at PS, we love brands and products that check all the boxes: fun to use, aesthetically pleasing, innovative, and eco-friendly. Blueland fits the bill perfectly, and one of our standout favorites is its detergent. The starter set includes a chic blue tin for easy refilling, and the packaging is entirely plastic-free. Most importantly, it works super well on dirty dishes. You can read up on Blueland founder Sarah Paiji's go-to product recommendations, too.

Heritage Park Luxury Laundry Detergent ($36)

We love how Heritage Park considers every detail of the laundry detergent experience. Its enzyme-based formula features a pH-balanced base that's gentle on fabrics, is highly concentrated to maximize each load, and a fragrance-free formulation. Best of all, it's perfect for those with sensitive skin. "This product stopped continual itching from his clothes for my husband who has very sensitive skin," one Amazon shopper attests.
