Between work, school runs, and daily life, keeping your home clean shouldn’t be another overwhelming task. You want a fresh, healthy home—but you also want to cut down on waste, avoid harsh chemicals, and make sustainable choices without adding extra stress.
The good news? Eco-friendly cleaning products don’t have to be complicated, expensive, or time-consuming. With a few smart swaps, you can reduce plastic waste, save money, and keep your eco household just as spotless—without compromising convenience.
And when it comes to laundry, making the switch to eco laundry products is one of the easiest ways to cut down on waste while still getting a powerful clean.
This guide cuts through the noise, offering practical, no-fuss cleaning advice tips and swaps that fit into even the busiest schedules.
Why Eco-Friendly Cleaning Makes Sense for Your Family
We know you’re busy, so let’s keep this simple. Traditional cleaning products:
-
Come in bulky, single-use plastic bottles that pile up in landfills.
-
Contain harsh chemicals, such as phthalates that aren’t great for your skin, lungs, or the environment.
-
Often cost more in the long run, with wasteful packaging and unnecessary ingredients.
On the flip side, eco-friendly cleaning:
✅ Cuts plastic waste with refillable bottles and compostable packaging.
✅ Uses safer, non-toxic ingredients that are gentle on your eco-friendly household and family.
✅ Reduces clutter by replacing multiple products with versatile, multi-use solutions.
✅ Works just as well (if not better) as traditional cleaners—without the downsides.
The best part? You don’t have to overhaul your entire routine. Small, simple swaps make a big impact.
5 Easy Swaps to Become An Eco Household
1️⃣ Swap Bulky Bottles for Refillable Sprays & Cleaning Tabs
If you’re tired of cramming bulky plastic bottles under your sink, this one’s for you. Most household cleaners are 90% water, meaning you’re paying for packaging and unnecessary waste.
Instead, try Cleaning GreenTabs™ —small but mighty eco-friendly cleaning tabs that dissolve in water, giving you the same powerful cleaning effect without waste. Just drop a tab into a reusable spray bottle, fill with water, and you’re set.
👉 Clean your entire home with Multi-Purpose Surface Cleaner and Kitchen Cleaner & Degreaser without plastic waste.
2️⃣ Ditch Liquid Detergent for Mess-Free Laundry Sheets
Laundry day can already feel like a chore. Why make it harder with heavy plastic bottles, sticky spills, and messy measuring cups?
Eco laundry Detergent GreenSheets™ laundry detergent sheets deliver the same deep clean as traditional liquid detergent—but without the waste, mess, or bulk. These ultra-light, pre-measured sheets dissolve completely in water, so you never have to deal with spills or plastic packaging again.
👉 Keep your clothes fresh and clean with Eco Laundry Detergent Sheets and Fabric Conditioner GreenSheets™.
3️⃣ Cut Clutter with Multi-Purpose Cleaners
Under your sink, how many half-used bottles of different cleaners are gathering dust? A cleaner for the kitchen, one for the bathroom, one for glass, another for worktops… it adds up fast.
Simplify your routine with versatile cleaners that tackle multiple surfaces. For example, our Bathroom Cleaner Spray works wonders on tiles, sinks, and glass, while the Kitchen Degreaser is powerful enough for countertops, stovetops, and stainless steel. Fewer products mean less waste, more space, and an easier cleaning routine.
4️⃣ Switch to Compostable & Reusable Cleaning Cloths
Disposable wipes and paper towels are a huge source of household waste. While they might seem convenient, they cost more over time and add unnecessary plastic waste to your cleaning routine.
Instead, try Swedish Dish Cloths—a super-absorbent, reusable, and fully compostable alternative to paper towels. They last for months, hold 10x their weight in liquid, and can be washed and reused over and over again.
👉 Upgrade your routine with Swedish Dish Cloths—better for your home, your wallet, and the planet.
5️⃣ Freshen Up with Natural Alternatives
For areas prone to persistent odours, like the fridge or shoe racks, natural deodorizers can be a great addition to your cleaning routine. Placing a small bowl of coffee grounds in the fridge can neutralise unwanted smells.
Similarly, a sachet of baking soda in your shoe rack can help keep odours at bay. These simple, natural solutions complement the effectiveness of our eco-friendly cleaning products, ensuring your home stays fresh and inviting.
