Non-Toxic Cleaning Brands
For each brand, I’ll be sharing a mini excerpt about their products, their average toxicity score based on the scores given by Think Dirty, a third party organization that tests how toxic a product is on a scale of 0 – safe, to 10 – very toxic, and a link to where you can purchase them. You can do your own research to discover which brand works best for you, but this collection of brands is a great starting point. Ultimately, I hope this list helps you and inspires you to take a more eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning journey.

In other words, they create more budget-friendly versions of a lot of products that they carry for major brands, such as shampoos & conditioners, dish soap, and essential oils.

Counter Culture Clean
You know how kombuca helps to regulate your gut heath? Think of Counter Culture Clean as ‘booch for your kitchen counters, helping regulate its cleanliness. This brand uses the power of probiotics to kill BAD bacteria. They don’t pride themselves on killing 99.9% of bacteria like other brands, because they differentiate between good and bad bacteria, focusing on getting rid of the bad stuff. Counter Culture Clean is a pretty new brand, but you can find them on Whole Foods shelves.

Dr. Bronner
Dr. Bronner is one of the most a classic non-toxic cleaning brands that has been around for a while. It is well-known for organic soap and body care, however many people use their liquid castile soaps ind DIY household cleaners. Their products are extremely versatile. If you have a question about which to use, though, Lisa Bronner breaks down when to use Castile vs. Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner. I love that the Bronner family is so involved with the brand, even to this day.

The bright colors sleekly coordinated on the Method shelves just draw you in. The fact that they like to keep protecting the planet as a top priority seals the deal. They share detailed lists about all of the ingredients that they use and don’t use, and even the processes they use to create the products. Even those bright colors are made with safe ingredients, not those icky dyes that damage your body and the environment. Their level of transparency is one you should expect from all companies where you purchase non-toxic cleaning items.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day
Let me keep it all the way real with y’all. My husband and I LOVE Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap (I can’t remember which scent), but one day I randomly opened my Think Dirty app to see it’s toxicity rating, and it was higher than I liked. According to them, “We use a combination of essential oils and carefully selected synthetic ingredients in our fragrance compositions. We use a combination of essential oils and carefully selected synthetic ingredients in our fragrance compositions.” (source) As much as I love that scent, I know now that synthetic fragrances are toxic, so I had to let it go. As a result, we use bar soap for washing our hands.

bioKleen
bioKleen creates effective plant and mineral based home cleaning products to protect people, pets, and the planet. They believe that “clean” doesn’t have to have chemicals. Their products don’t include the extras that make products toxic, for example, fake colors and scents, phosphates, chlorine, etc.

Brandless
Brandless has a lot of different product categories, but one consistent factor – everything only costs $3! If you’re on a budget, it is one of the best non-toxic cleaning brands where you can purchase good products for less. I buy their bamboo toilet paper and balsamic greens & grapefruit dish soap on repeat, and I love them both! They’re pretty new and not typically available in stores, however it is very easy to order from them right online.

Ecover models their products after “the world’s greatest scientist”: nature. With a motto like that, you know they’re keeping it natural and toxin-free. They produce laundry, home care, dish, and specifically non-toxic cleaners, but their scented products are typically fully or partially naturally scented. Even more, they carry items like fabric softener and stain remover!

Better Life‘s website address says “clean happens,” and they are committed to making sure the cleaning that happens is some non-toxic cleaning. Two dads started this company to help parents like themselves keep their house clean and protect their kids from typical cleaning chemicals.
