Eco-friendly cleaning hacks

Turn your home into a spotless, sanctuary with eco-friendly, cleaning products. Swap chemical cleaners for homemade, natural ones and be kinder to the planet and your purse. Stock up on baking soda, white vinegar and lemons, for greener cleaning. Overhaul dirty ovens by applying a thick paste of baking soda and water to the bottom of the cavity, let it sit overnight, then scrape off and wipe clean. For brighter, whiter toilets, throw a cup of baking soda into the bowl; add a cup of white vinegar, leave the mixture for a few hours and flush. Make windows sparkle by mixing four tablespoons of lemon juice with half a gallon of water. 

Reduce single-use plastics by choosing organic cleaning kit such as natural, reusable cloths instead of kitchen roll. Plastic-free sponges that don’t shed microplastics and clog up our water system are zero-waste, kind to your skin and often compostable too. Ditch plastic utensils for wooden dish brushes with natural fibres and flimsy plastic pegs for sturdy bamboo designs. And protect hands with gloves made from Fairtrade, FSC certified natural rubber, sourced from responsibly managed plantations.
