How to Spot Sustainable Cleaning Products

Making your cleaning routine more sustainable is easier than you might think. There are many options to reduce waste, from choosing products with recycled packaging and glass bottles to switching to pods and tablets. Here are some ways to make your cleaning routine more sustainable:

Switch To Pods And Tablets

Most common cleaning products contain a high percentage of water, making them heavy to ship and inefficient. Brands like Blueland and EarthHero offer a more sustainable alternative: cleaning tablets that you dissolve in water at home. This approach significantly reduces single-use packaging. Instead of getting a new bottle each time, you only receive the tablet packaging. It's an easy way to make your cleaning routine more sustainable.

Buy Cleaning Concentrates

Cleaning concentrates provide a sustainable alternative to traditional products. Brands like Grove Collaborative offer glass-bottled concentrates that you mix with water at home. Etee takes this concept further with compostable pods that biodegrade after use. These options significantly reduce both packaging waste and shipping emissions.

Explore Refillable Format

Refill shops let you bring your own containers to fill with cleaning products. This cuts down on packaging waste and reduces the need for new containers. Also, brands like Cleancult offer paper-based refills for their reusable bottles. They're easy to use and recycle.

Buy In Bulk

Buying in bulk saves packaging and reduces waste. Try brands like Attitude and Dr. Bronner's. They offer large refill packs or paper-based cartons with less plastic, making your cleaning routine more sustainable.

Look For Certified Brands

Look for brands that have certifications such as B Corp, Climate Neutral, and Plastic Neutral. These brands are actively trying to reduce their plastic consumption, including packaging and shipping material.
