    10 of the best eco cleaning products

    What are eco cleaning products?

    On a whole, people are much more mindful of the impact they are having on the planet. Plastic bottles? Better be recyclable! Microbeads? No thank you! But have you ever taken a second to extend the eco-conscious consideration to your cleaning products?

    Thankfully, some brands have already done some of that consideration for you!

    When a product is classed as ‘eco friendly’ that usually means it adheres to some or all of the following practices:

    • Using ‘gentler’ active ingredients rather than harsh chemicals
    • Using ingredients that are kinder to our waterways and environment
    • Using refillable, biodegradable or recyclable packaging

    A lot of eco cleaning products are also vegan and cruelty free – who’d have thought you’d have to check if your kitchen spray was vegan – eh?

    Why choose eco-friendly cleaners?

    A better question is why wouldn’t you? If you can achieve the same squeaky-clean results with an eco-cleaner while reducing the impact your cleaning has on the environment, then it’s a no-brainer really.

    It’s not just about the harm these strong chemicals can have on the environment either. If you’re not using gloves 24/7, then chances are that these formulas will also get onto and react with your skin, and get distributed throughout the air in your house, where they could potentially do some harm.

    What different eco cleaners are available?

    From eco kitchen sprays and glass cleaners, to drain un-blockers, laundry detergents and toilet cleaners, there’s an eco-cleaning product for every room of the house. Here are some of our favourites.
