Are you spending too much time worrying about cleaning your home with safe household cleaning products that won’t jeopardize your health? Life’s too short to spend all your time finding the right cleaning product to keep stocked in your cabinet, especially living here in Branchburg, where much of your time is spent working or commuting into the city, or spending time with your family.
Like many of your neighbors, chances are you’ve chosen to live in Branchburg because it’s a great, kid-friendly place to raise a family. And if your family is your biggest concern, you should also be concerned about which green cleaning products will keep your home clean naturally, without harmful chemical residue that can have long-term effects for you, your children, or your pets.
Many mainstream cleaning product manufacturers are switching to safer ingredients, but the truth is, there are many cleaners still out there that can damage your wellbeing or harm the environment. So which safe household cleaning products should you use in your home?
1. Eco-Me Natural Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner
Besides smelling great, this floor cleaner provides you with peace of mind that you aren’t spreading harmful chemicals across your floors. Eco-Me is safe to use around pets and babies, so if you are looking for a pet-safe household cleaner or a baby-safe household cleaner, you can use Eco-Me’s Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner without worrying about what your baby or pet will pick up.
Children can be sensitive to chemicals in cleaning products, especially if they have allergies or asthma. And because children spend 80-90% of their time indoors (and babies and toddlers spend a lot of this time on or near the floor), cleaning products can pose a big risk for them. With an all-natural, safe household floor cleaner like Eco-Me, your floors are clean, and your pets and children are safe.
2. Green Works Cleaning Wipes
Cleaning wipes don’t just come in contact with the hard surfaces in your home like countertops and doorknobs, they come in direct contact with your skin, too. And because of that, you want your cleaning wipes to be safe and chemical-free.
When your kids come home from school with a nasty cold, or you need to wipe down your kitchen sink or cutting board after preparing raw meat or eggs, these wipes sanitize your space.
The real truth about most cleaning wipes? They’re harmful to the environment. They contain microplastics that aren’t biodegradable. And they clog drains, and end up in the water system. Also, they’re not safe for your health: They contain anti-microbial pesticides that can trigger asthma and allergies.
This isn’t the case with Green Works cleaning wipes. They are biodegradable and compostable, and they are safe household cleaners to use around kids and pets.
3. Mrs. Meyer’s Vinegar Gel Cleaner
It’s true: You can use the power of vinegar to clean almost anything. Vinegar tackles bacteria, grime, and grit better than just about any other cleaner. For many people though, the hassle of mixing your own cleaning solution can keep them from using vinegar to clean their home (not to mention the smell of vinegar alone!).
But with Mrs. Meyer’s Vinegar Gel Cleaner, you can kiss the smell and hassle of vinegar goodbye. This cleaner smells fresh and removes smudges, dirt, and residue like you wouldn’t believe. You can use it to shine up shower doors, door handles, and even stainless steel.
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day is a brand known for safe household cleaners, plant-derived products, and essential oils. Their cleaners don’t smell like harsh chemicals, because they don’t use harsh chemicals. They also don’t test on animals, and they come in countless delectable scents. You’ll actually want to clean your shower when you’ve got this gel cleaner on hand!
4. Ecos for Pets! Stain and Odor Remover
Made with plant-powered enzymes to truly deal with the cause of stinky stains, Ecos for Pets! Stain and Odor Remover handles your pet’s accidents with just a few sprays. Their goal is to create pet-safe household cleaners that deal with your pet’s stains, and protect the environment, all at an affordable cost for you.
Ecos is a family-owned business that has been creating safe, green products for nearly 50 years. They use sustainable ingredients and earth-safe, mindful practices to create natural and effective cleaning products. Ecos even uses 100% renewable energy and carbon-neutral plants to make green cleaning good for your home and the environment too.
5. Seventh Generation Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner
With the number of germs that hang around the bathroom, you want to trust that your bathroom cleaner is great at disinfecting every surface of the room, and is also safe to use around your family, too. Especially at the peak of flu season, your household cleaner should not only be safe, but it should also be able to kill nasty bacteria and tough viruses. Seventh Generation Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner is the product to do that.
Seventh Generation products like their bathroom disinfectant clean without overwhelming you with chemicals, or burning your hands or nose. The ingredients are published right on the package, and are sustainably sourced from plants, using recycled packaging. It’s a cleaner you can feel good about using because it takes care of your home, your family, and the environment.
6. Ecover’s Whole Line of Cleaning Products
Ecover uses the process of fermentation to create effective ingredients for soap, rather than the dangerous chemicals found in many household cleaners. The same fermentation process that creates your kombucha, sauerkraut, and beer can be used to create naturally-derived cleaning products that harness the power of the earth to clean your home safely.
Ecover has an entire line of cleaning products, so you can clean and sanitize your entire home without using chemicals that can lead to cancer, or cause breathing problems. Their line includes a wide array of products including:

7. Giggle’s Babyganics Toy and High Chair Cleaner
Baby-safe household cleaners are worth their weight in gold, if only because of the security you will feel cleaning your baby’s things without harmful chemicals. Having a convenient cleaner handy that is effective and safe for your baby is a major timesaver for you. Giggle’s toy and high chair cleaner is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and specifically formulated with pure ingredients to protect your little ones.
