Cleaning used to be the bane of my weekends—those chemical smells lingering in my flat were the worst. Then I stumbled into eco-friendly cleaners at a market in Bordeaux, and it’s been a total turnaround. If you’re ready to ditch the toxic stuff and green up your routine, here are my top five picks that actually work wonders.
First up, Ecover All-Purpose Cleaner. I grabbed a bottle at Carrefour last month, and it’s my go-to now. Plant-based and biodegradable, it tackles grease on my counters like a pro and leaves a fresh orange scent—no fake chemical whiff. It’s gentle enough that my dog doesn’t sneeze when he sniffs around after I’m done.
Next, Method Dish Soap. I was skeptical it’d cut through my cassoulet-crusted pans, but it does—with flair. The lavender scent is a bonus, and my hands don’t feel like sandpaper after. You can find it [here]. Only downside? The bottle’s plastic, but refills help.
Then there’s Blueland Cleaning Kit, which I ordered after a friend raved about it. Those little tablets dissolve in reusable bottles—genius for my tiny sink space. Molly’s Suds Laundry Powder keeps my Sensitive skin happy—no more itchy sweaters. And E-Cloth Microfiber Cloths? They’re magic—just water, and my mirrors are spotless. They’re a must if you hate streaks.
These five have made my home feel cleaner and my conscience lighter. Which one’s calling your name? Give one a whirl—you might never go back.
