My best eco friendly cleaning products

What are the best eco-friendly cleaning products for a sustainable home?

Going a bit greener at home doesn’t mean you have to compromise on results — you can still have a beautifully clean, fresh-smelling home without all the harsh chemicals.

In fact, some of the best cleaning methods are the simplest ones… lemons, bicarbonate of soda, and white vinegar — the real classics!

If you’re looking to make a few easy swaps, here’s how I do it

1. Smarter, Greener Cleaning Tools

Start with your basics because this is where you can make a big difference straight away.

• Swap plastic sponges for natural alternatives

• Go for reusable, long-lasting tools instead of single-use items

✦ Compostable Sponges

For floors, I always say a spray mop is a must-have:

• You can fill it with your own natural solution

• No need for endless plastic bottles

✦ Spray Mop

And for dusting:

• A bamboo or reusable duster works brilliantly and lasts so much longer

✦ Bamboo Duster

2. Greener Cleaning Products That Actually Work

You don’t need loads of different products just a few good ones that do the job properly.

Botanical Cleaning

I love using more natural, plant-based cleaners:

• Look for ones with essential oils

• They clean well and leave your home smelling fresh

✦ Natural Cleaning Products

Refill Options

This is a big one for cutting down waste:

• Use refill pouches or concentrates

• Pair with reusable bottles and cloths

✦ Cleaning Refills
✦ Microfibre Cloths

PLANET TIP 💡

If you want to go really natural with your laundry…

Soap nuts are such a great option!

• You can use them in the wash

• Or even boil them down to make a natural cleaning liquid

✦ Soap Nuts
✦ Glass Spray Bottle

Simple, effective, and completely chemical-free.

3. Waste-Free Laundry Swaps 👕

Laundry is one of the easiest places to go greener 👇

• Swap fabric conditioner for white vinegar

• Use wool drying balls as they reduce drying time and soften clothes naturally

✦ Wool Dryer Balls

To help reduce microplastics:

• Use a washing bag for synthetic clothes

✦ Washing Bag

And for an all-in-one solution:

• Laundry eggs are great for everyday washing

✦ Laundry Egg

4. Simple Kitchen Swaps 🍋

The kitchen is another easy place to make small changes that add up:

• Swap cling film for reusable wraps

✦ Beeswax Wraps

• Use a wooden dish brush instead of plastic sponges

✦ Wooden Dish Brush

These little swaps don’t feel like much, but they really do make a difference over time.

Lynsey’s Final Tip 💛

Going green doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Start small, swap things as you go, and keep it realistic that’s how it becomes part of your everyday routine.

And honestly… once you start using these simple, natural methods, you’ll realise you don’t need half as many products as you thought
