Plastic-Free Cleaning: Your Start-to-Finish Guide for a Healthier Home & Planet

As Plastic Free July sweeps across the globe, we’re reminded that true change begins in our own homes. For many, cleaning products are the silent plastic offenders – those colorful bottles under our sinks that promise cleanliness while leaving a dirty legacy for our planet. But what if we told you sparkling surfaces and sustainability aren’t mutually exclusive?

Why Plastic-Free Cleaning Matters

Every year, billions of plastic cleaning bottles end up in landfills and oceans, where they:

• Release toxins as they break down

• Harm marine life

• Rarely get recycled (only 9% actually do)

Switching to plastic-free alternatives is one of the easiest ways to reduce your footprint.

3 Features of Truly Sustainable Cleaning Products

1. No Plastic Packaging

• Look for: dissolvable sheets, tablets for reusable bottles, or compostable wraps

2. Safe, Simple Ingredients

• Plant-based formulas, no hidden "fragrances"

3. Multi-Purpose Use

• Fewer products = less waste (e.g., one tablet for floors, counters, and glass)

3 Easy Swaps to Start With

1. Multipurpose Tablets

• 1 tablet = 500 sprays in your own bottle

• Removes stains without plastic waste

2. Floor Cleaning Sheets

• Pre-measured, rosemary-scented sheets

• Just drop in water – no heavy bottles

3. Foaming Hand Soap System

• Reusable glass bottle + biodegradable tablets

• Lasts for years, not weeks
  

Small changes add up. This July, pick just one swap and join the movement toward a lighter footprint.
