Eco friendly cleaning is not only better for the environment, but it’s much less expensive too. We’ll teach you what cleaning tools you need as well as what all natural cleaning products work best.
Switching up my cleaning caddy was one of the very first zero-waste swaps I made and I couldn’t be happier. In my caddy, I stash a feather duster, cleaning spray, wooden dish scrubs, a hand broom, reusable bar towels, a small container of baking soda, vinegar, and a metal dustpan.
— Use a wooden broom with natural bristles. — Use a wooden toilet brush instead of plastic. — Get an old-school janitor mop. — A quality vacuum. I personally have a Dyson Animal, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I like to make DIY zero waste cleaning products. This makes zero waste cleaning super cheap and easy. Get my favorite recipes for tub spray, all-purpose cleaner, orange peel vinegar cleaner, toilet cleaner, all natural bleach, and make up brush cleaner.
You should do a deep cleaning in your home at least 2 times a year. Dust bunnies, grime, and other bacteria can hide out of sight, so it’s a good idea to deep clean under beds, under and behind sofas, closets, pantry, and everywhere else.
The first thing is to get rid of things you don't use. If there is less stuff around there is going to be less to clean and keep track of. Secondly, work out a cleaning calendar and form habits to clean on a regular basis.
