These Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products Will Make You *Want* to Clean

The ultimate all-in-one starter bundle for a sustainable, sparkling clean home. This eco-conscious kit includes everything you need to ditch single-use plastic and harsh chemicals: foaming hand soap, dishwasher and laundry detergent, toilet bowl cleaner, powder dish soap, and three surface-specific cleaners (multi-surface, bathroom, and glass + mirror). Each product comes with a stylish, reusable "Forever" container plus refill tablets or pouches to keep you stocked and sustainable. Blueland’s non-toxic formulas are tough on grime but gentle on the planet, making your cleaning routine cleaner in every sense.

When you have lots of little kiddos running around, you just get in the habit of using a multipurpose cleaner for everything. However, I quickly learned that there’s a reason multiple cleaners for different purposes exist. Branch Basics has all three of the major cleaners your home needs (bathroom, multipurpose, and glass) in one non-toxic set that also comes with refillable glass spray bottles. They’re designed with minimalist simplicity, but also have a color-coded band around the bottleneck so you can be sure you’ve grabbed the right one for the job at hand!

Staff makes the funkiest plunger in the game. (Yes, I did just use the words “funky” and “plunger” in the same sentence.) Staff’s founder, Charlie Weisman, realized while stuck in his NYC apartment during the COVID-19 lockdown that many household products lack personality. He hypothesized that a bit of fun added to the stuff we use regularly (like… toilet plungers) can go a long way in bringing us joy. Why not add a little smiley friend with a bowtie to your bathroom to help with life’s inevitable crappy moments?

Ever since I was a young kid, I have eyed the beautiful canvas baskets at home decor stores, longing for the day I was able to fully organize my home with them. The Nori Hamper brings elevated design and function to an often-overlooked household essential. Crafted with durable materials and a sleek, modern silhouette, this hamper is as chic as it is practical. Its structured design features a divided interior for easy sorting (think lights and darks) and sturdy handles for effortless transport from bedroom to laundry room. Whether you're doing a weekly wash or simply aiming to streamline your space, the Nori Hamper is a minimalist, high-quality upgrade that makes laundry day feel just a little more luxurious.

For those of us not fortunate enough to have a shoe closet, Giratree has designed what has to be the prettiest shoe (or any other item) rack I have ever seen. The rack is three layers and comes in three different colors, so you can be sure to pick a color that will suit your space well. At $239, it’s a bit of a splurge, but the simple elegance of the design is timeless and can be re-styled each year during your cleaning sessions.

For the smaller-scale organization of items like art supplies, knick-knacks, or makeup, Design Within Reach makes beautiful crates. They’re stackable and come in fun colors that can spruce up any space, even a drab make-shift home office. At $48 for 3 crates, these crates marry affordability and durability to ensure you can enjoy keeping your stuff organized in them for years to come.

If you’re looking to change up your home’s scent post-clean, try The Worthington Collection’s huge selection of candles. They’re on the pricey side at $60 a piece, but they boast an odor-elimination that most other candles cannot. You can select a scent, like Timeless Elegance, or you can create your own collection with three or more candles. TQE editor Tiffany agrees, having placed it on her 30 gourmet gifts list!
