Many of us do not realize how toxic our daily household cleaning products can be!
They contain chemicals, irritants, and pollutants that affect not only sensitive individuals, pregnant women, the elderly, pets, children, and wildlife, but all of us, too! Yet, they are sold in regular grocery stores as harmless products.
Conventional detergents contain toxic ingredients and chemicals that are cheap to produce, and harsh on us, the planet, and the environment. They are linked with asthma and respiratory damage, skin allergies and irritations, development, and reproductive toxicity, posing cancer, and environmental hazards.
To keep our house a healthy place, we need to ditch conventional cleaning products and use natural ones! ❌ Besides many popular brands such as Clorox, Ajax, Lysol, Mr. Clean, Arm & Hammer, Up&Up, and Windex, with products rated F- toxic by ewg.org, there are many “greenwashing” products around.
❌ Greenwashing companies are filling their “natural” products with synthetic petrochemical, oleochemical emollients, thickeners, detergents, fragrances, and preservatives.
Brands such as Method, Safeway, Green Works (a Clorox company), Babyganics, and Mrs.Meyer’s are still classified as toxic by ewg.org, with products classified as D and F.
❌ Many “natural cleaners” contain controversial ingredients mixed in their almost natural formula such as preservatives, dyes, fragrances, surfactants, bleach, alcohol, quats, hydrogen peroxide, or any other harmful chemicals.
❌ Methylisothiazolinone: preservative skin sensitizer, linked to allergies, lung, neurological, and organ toxicity. Plus it is very toxic to aquatic life. Found in BetterLife Brand! Check at the bottom of the page the greenwashing brands.
Since there is no government regulation of the words: “organic” or “ natural.” We need to buy organic products and to spot them we need to read the labels carefully. That’s why we need to have the right information that allows us to buy a better detergent to protect us, our family, our pets, and the environment. Use your nose and eyes. Read the ingredients list. Avoid fragranced products and colored liquid products.
To keep our house healthy, we need to ditch conventional or greenwashing cleaning products and use natural ones!
They are a just few natural and organic disinfectants that are safer, not greenwashing, and transparent.
Made with natural ingredients, biodegradable, kid-friendly, and pet-friendly. My favorites are packed in eco-friendly bottles such as glass bottles or sugar cane resin which reduces the amount of new petroleum-based plastic being used.
On this page, you will find only the best, most natural, and safest disinfectants on the market, kid-friendly, and pet-friendly.
Since the majority are not biodegradable and contribute to environmental pollution, I recommend making your disinfecting cleaning wipes using the organic dry wipes listed below and use them with any of these liquid cleaners and disinfecting listed below. You can store them in a container soaked with the liquid detergent ready for use.
You could even use some cotton cleaning cloth to wash and use again
🌿My number one recommendation is The Wholesome Home Disinfectants. Made with all-natural and organic, safe plant-based ingredients, it is a bathroom cleaner and disinfectant. It comes in an eco-friendly glass bottle. The 2 oz concentrate refills will give you 2x 16 oz bottles. Making that the best bathroom cleaner on the market. My 10% off promo code is PRETTYORGANICGIRL

I don't recommend Seventh Generation Non-Chlorine Bleach
Seventh Generation was bought by Unilever in 2016. Unilever is one of the largest corporations in the world.
Unilever sells approximately 1,700 plastic sachets per second, amounting to an estimated 53 billion sachets in 2023. Unilever has faced significant scrutiny over allegations of greenwashing.
They claim to be “eco-friendly” and “safe” when they are owned by Unilever, which owns other toxic and polluting brands such as Axe and Dove, responsible for creating toxic rivers and for polluting communities in countries like India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Unilever is responsible for toxic mercury contamination; it is one of the top ten global plastic polluters (by BreakFreeFromPlastic), promoted toxic (and racist) skin lighteners, and participated in violence against striking workers.
Plus, they still use a lot of plastic containers, which are cheaper for them and more toxic for us and the environment.
