Laundry
I get the cool cotton whenever it’s on sale at CVS and love the scent it leaves my laundry with! It’s not such a harsh scent and doesn’t irritate my skin at all
Downy Rinse and Refresh
Idk what is in these but these are some of the only scent boosters that do not irritate my skin at all! Plus they are on sale at CVS all the time so I get these to keep my laundry smelling good :)
Downy Unstopables In Wash Scent Booster Beads
Why buy dryer sheets all the time when you could get wool balls that can last ten years!? I’ve had mine for four and they work great. I’ve also seen that you can add essential oils if you want more scent!
Handy Laundry Wool Dryer Balls - Natural Softener
The best all around cleaning product—my favorite method is to add it like softener to my laundry because it softens, deodorizes, and disinfects!
Distilled White Vinegar - 128 fl oz - Good & Gather - Target
Great for delicates and anything you don’t want getting lost in the laundry! Good investment for not much money
Lingerie Bags | Mesh Wash, Travel & Delicates Storage
Nothing special, but gets out any stains that dawn and vinegar don’t!
Shout Triple-Acting Laundry Stain Remover Spray - 22 fl oz: Bleach-Free, Phosphate-Free, Fresh Scent
I don’t often get pods but I do when they are on sale and these tide free and gentle are great because they are eczema safe! For any sensitive skin people these are great
Tide Unscented Free & Gentle HE Deep Cleaning ... - Target
Go-to laundry detergent! I get this in both the liquid and pods because one or the other is almost always on sale! Love this for my sensitive skin 🤍
Sensitive Skin, Free & Clear, Hypoallergenic Liquid Laundry ...
Kitchen
Everyone loves dawn powerwash but did you know it comes in free and clear!? I don’t do dishes with gloves so this is perfect for my sensitive skin!
Dawn Powerwash Free & Clear Dish Spray, Light Pear
This dish brush is so perfect! It holds your dish soap in it and has a little dish with a drain lip to let water run out of it! As a bonus you can get scrub brush replacements that screw onto the bottom when they wear out to reduce waste!
Sponge & Brushes - OXO
I may still struggle to cook with a glasstop stove BUT at least I can clean it now! Idk what it is about these stoves tha regular cleaners leave a weird residue but this is my #1 product for cleaning it!
Glass Cooktop Cleaners - Weiman
It is absolutely crazy the stuff this paste can get off! I use this in my kitchen for caked on grease, burnt food, and other stains on pots and pans and wow does it work! Absolutely worth it for the like $5 or whatever that the paste costs!
The Pink Stuff: Home
The most natural smelling scented trash bags I’ve found yet!
Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Trash Bags 13 Gal
Glass cooktops are the bane of my existence but unfortunately also my current reality 🤷🏼♀️ this cleaner does the trick!
Weiman Unscented Glass Cooktop Cleaner & Polish Cream - 15oz
Bathroom
Okay I do love a free and clear cleaner but the only time I only use chemicals is when it comes to the bathroom! These are my most consistently used cleaners!
Bathroom Cleaning Products | Toilet, Shower & More
As a clean freak this is one of my #1s! The thought of a dirty toilet brush haunts my dreams so this is essential!
Clorox ToiletWand Cleaning Kit with Caddy & 6 Refills
I love both lavender and bergamot and this soap comes in refill sizes to reduce waste! Always a win for me :)
Everspring : Hand Soap Refills - Target
One place I do not mess with “natural cleaners” is the bathroom so Lysol is great especially for high contact areas like toilets and doorknobs!
Bathroom & Toilet Cleaners | Lysol, Clorox - Target

Scrub daddy is an absolute essential for cleaning around the house! Works in the kitchen, bathroom, or on any surfaces (just keep those ones separate 😉)
Dye-Free Scrub Daddy (1ct)
I see people hating on this but I’m convinced they just don’t press hard enough… if you’re putting in the effort when you mop then this is perfectly fine! I use this weekly so I never have too much build up!
Shop All Swiffer Mopping Products
LOVE that this is expandable! I had a feather duster as a kid and never figured out cleaning it…so I’m happy to have this option now!
Swiffer Duster - Amazon.com
I try to reduce waste where I can so I love using microfiber cloths and wash in weekly instead of going through rolls and rolls of paper towels! You can use these to dust, to wipe up messes, and for streak-free window/mirror cleaning
Microfiber Cleaning Cloth - Amazon.com
Another favorite free and clear alternative! These come both unscented and lemon scented and both are great!
Clorox™ Free & Clear Cleaning Wipes | Light Lemon
