Top 5 Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
There’s something that is so refreshing about having a newly cleaned household. I don’t know about you, but I find that I am way more productive when things are neat and tidy. Not to mention I love the smell of clean. However, using harmful chemicals to get there is, well, not savvy. The good news is that there has recently been a bit of a revolution in the cleaning industry, making eco-friendly products more accessible and affordable than ever before. Because of all of the options and information out there though, it can be a bit overwhelming when deciding what cleaning products to choose. So, I am going to make it easier for you! Below are my top 5 choices for environmentally conscious cleaning brands.

Dr. Bronner’s
Why it’s savvy: Dr. Bronner’s was founded in 1948 by Emanuel Bronner, a third- generation master soapmaker from a German-Jewish soapmaking family. He used the labels on his superb ecological soaps to spread his message that we must realize our transcendent unity across religious & ethnic divides: “We are All-One or None!” They use regenerative organic agriculture, which can sequester huge amounts of excess carbon from the air and bring it back into healthy soil in the form of stable organic matter. Even better, they use 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyethylene (PET) plastic bottles for all of their liquid and pump soaps.
Products they offer: Hand soaps, home solutions, multipurpose cleaners

Their products are also free from harmful ingredients commonly used in traditional cleaning products, such as dyes, cleaning sulfates, parabens, gluten, known allergens, bleach, ammonia and formaldehyde.
Products they offer: Really any type of home cleaning product you can think of, pet solutions, and dish and hand soaps.
