Going clean and natural is simpler than you might think.

Give your house the gift of conscious cleaners.

Even your appliances and counters need TLC — explore natural, gentler swaps.

We all want a clean home. But conventional cleaners often come with a hidden cost — one that affects your health, your family, and the planet. Many contain ingredients that can pollute indoor air, irritate sensitive skin, and linger long after you’ve put the spray bottle away.
Luckily, natural cleaning products offer a better way. They’re just as effective, and a whole lot gentler — on your body, your surfaces, and the environment. Here’s a room-by-room guide to making the switch.

Even all-purpose cleaner can go cleaner

If you're using one product across countertops, cabinets, sinks, and light switches, it should be one you can trust. Many standard all-purpose sprays contain synthetic preservatives and artificial dyes, which can trigger skin reactions or worsen asthma symptoms — especially in enclosed spaces like bathrooms and kitchens.
Natural alternatives rely on plant-derived surfactants, biodegradable formulas, and subtle essential oil scents. That means fewer irritants and more peace of mind, whether you're wiping down a high chair or a cutting board.

Discover the power of natural glass cleaners

Ammonia is a common go-to in glass cleaners, but it’s also a known respiratory irritant that can be dangerous in households with children or pets [3]. Natural glass sprays use vinegar, corn-based alcohol, or citric acid to break through grime without leaving behind chemical vapors.
The result? Windows, mirrors, and chrome that sparkle without the sting.

Double check your surface-specific cleaners.

Appliances and stone countertops look sleek, but they can be surprisingly sensitive to conventional sprays. Abrasive agents or acidic ingredients can dull finishes and even cause etching over time.
Natural surface-specific cleaners are pH-balanced, non-toxic, and tough on smudges while being gentle on what matters — your stainless steel fridge, granite island, and your skin.

Go natural from top to bottom

What you clean your floors with matters, especially when there’s tiny hands, bare feet, and paws spending so much time on them! Harsh floor cleaners often contain synthetic fragrances, alcohols, or solvents that leave behind invisible residues. Natural floor cleaners are formulated to break down dirt and spills without filling your home with artificial scents or chemical films. Many also come in concentrated or refillable formats, cutting down on waste while lifting up your space.

The Bottom Line

Ditch harsh chemicals for safer, more thoughtful clean-ups

Natural cleaners aren’t just about what you’re avoiding — they’re about what you’re choosing: safer ingredients, better air quality, and a home that supports your health, not compromises it.
You don’t need a cabinet full of chemicals to get things truly clean. A few thoughtful swaps can go a long way.
