Plastic Free July isn’t over yet! Now is the perfect time to rethink your cleaning routine and make it more environmentally friendly long-term. Swapping traditional cleaning supplies for sustainable alternatives is not only good for the planet but also feels super rewarding and can even make cleaning much easier. Here are the different items you’ll need to create a sustainable cleaning kit for your home in 3 easy steps.

1. A versatile, safe all-purpose cleaner

The backbone of any good cleaning kit is a reliable and environmentally friendly all-purpose cleaner. Ditch the harsh chemicals for an environmentally safe cleaner that’s kind to Mother Earth instead. When you find an all-purpose cleaner that’s perfect for wiping down counters, cleaning windows, and tackling bathroom surfaces that’s effective, safe, and helps reduce the number of plastic bottles you bring into your home, you’ll never go back to traditional cleaning solutions.

2. Reusable cleaning cloths and sponges

Say goodbye to single-use paper towels! Reusable cleaning cloths and sponges are fantastic alternatives that help reduce the amount of single-use waste and often provide a better clean. Microfibre cloths are excellent for trapping dust and dirt, while specialised scourer sponges make cleaning a breeze. To keep them fresh and ready for use, simply toss the cloths in the washing machine when they need a clean and rinse and wring the sponges thoroughly after each use. These are some of the easiest environmentally friendly cleaners to implement in a home and the perfect place to start when building your sustainable cleaning kit.

3. Surface protection that helps save cleaning time

Nanocoat surface protection creates an invisible, protective layer that repels dirt, water, and stains. This advanced technology not only makes cleaning easier but also reduces the frequency of cleaning required, saving you time, effort, and water usage in the long run.

Creating a sustainable cleaning kit is a fantastic way to embrace Plastic Free July and to set yourself up for a lifetime of environmentally friendly cleaning. With these simple swaps, you can make your home cleaner, greener, and a little bit friendlier to our planet.
