By making a few small changes, you can reduce waste in your cleaning routine while still achieving top-notch results. Here are five easy ways to clean more sustainably:

1. Swap Disposable Wipes for Reusable Cloths

Instead of using single-use paper towels or disposable wipes, opt for microfiber cloths or washable rags. They’re just as effective and can be tossed in the wash for repeated use. We love THESE ONES!

2. Make the Most of Your Household Products

Household products such as baking soda, white vinegar, and lemon juice can be used to make eco-friendly homemade cleaning products. Check out our blog post with some DIY eco-friendly cleaning product recipes!

3. Repurpose Household Items for Cleaning

Old T-shirts, socks, or even newspapers can be reused for dusting and polishing surfaces. This helps cut down on waste while giving new life to items you’d otherwise discard.

4. Ditch Single-Use Mop Pads

Instead of disposable mop pads, switch to reusable, washable ones. They’re cost-effective and reduce unnecessary landfill waste. The Vileda EasyWring Spin Mop is our fave!

5. Choose Eco-Friendly Sponges and Brushes

Many traditional sponges are made from synthetic materials that don’t break down easily. Opt for biodegradable or compostable alternatives like natural loofahs, bamboo scrub brushes, or plant-based sponges. These biodegradable sponges are the perfect choice!
