Natural Cleaning Supplies

Category: Around the Home, Cleaning Supplies – kathy – 1:10 pm

I like to have a clean house, but I don’t like the headaches that come when I open a bottle of cleaning solution. I hear people say all the time, “you’re only using a little of it” to justify the use of cleaning supplies that are full of synthetic chemicals. Then I started to think about how I used each of those cleaning products several times a week. Yes, each bottle of cleaning solution might have only a little chemicals, but used together they fill my home with toxicity.

I went in search of products with minimal smell and maximum natural products and found several. I also found that if I buy in bulk and order online, the cost is much less. After all, I’m not driving to the store to pick them up. The price of gas (and time) are always factored into my purchase price.

In my house, you’ll find the following natural cleaning products:

  • BioKleen: BioKleen offers natural, non-toxic cleaning products. These cleaning products are concentrated, so you use less and are biodegradable, have no harsh fumes, and are gentle for sensitive skin.
  • Method Cleaners: Method cleaning products are made from biodegradable ingredients derived from natural materials like soy, coconut and palm oils. A little goes a long way since they are concentrated and they have a slight natural scent.
  • Seventh Generation: Seventh Generation is all about providing environmentally-safe household products, including cleaners, paper products, and personal care items. Their recycled toilet paper is wonderful and so great for the environment.
