Cleaning products
Really effective natural floor cleaner with a fresh scent but without being over-powering. Koala Eco really are the GOAT when it comes to natural cleaning products.
Koala Eco Mandarin & Peppermint Floor Cleaner 500ml
Great streak-free glass cleaning.
Koala Eco Natural Glass Cleaner Peppermint 500ml
Hands down the best natural cleaning products I’ve used and I’ve tried many in the last 15 years. You can see the way it cuts into food stains etc on the bench tops as opposed to some other cheaper eco spray. Plus you can get refills.
Koala Eco Lemon Myrtle & Mandarin Kitchen Cleaner
Dishes
Most effective natural dishwashing powder I’ve used. This is the only natural one I’ve used that really cuts through baked on stains, doesn’t leave harsh scents, and doesn’t leave streaks. Note: given I often recommend Koala Eco, I thought it worth m...
Lemon Dishwasher Powder 5kg - Ecostore
Mandarin is really good for cutting through grease so this natural dishwashing liquid is super effective. I’ve been using this for over a year now and it also doesn’t leave harsh chemical smells on your kitchen ware like some conventional dishwashing...
Koala Eco Lemon Myrtle & Mandarin Dish Soap
I highly recommend this if you have a lot of silicone products (e.g. baby bows and spoons, bottles etc) and you don’t want that awful soap taste in your food. Plus it’s good for those prone to skin irritation.
Ultra Sensitive Dish Liquid - Ecostore
Laundry
My favourite laundry powder especially when I was doing modern clothes nappies for my twins.
BABY Laundry Detergent
The best laundry sheets I’ve tried. They’re so easy to use - just chuck 1-2 in with the wash. No mess from laundry powders and the right measurement every time. I like the fresh line scent the best.
restor Laundry Detergent Sheets Fresh Linen
I haven’t yet used this one but I hear really good feedback on it and works out fairly cost effective if you buy in bulk. So I thought I’d add this to the list.
Regular Washing Powder (Double Concentrate)
Cloths and brushes
Sponge cloths can be used over and over again for years. They’re made from plant fibres, so no microplastics from those microfibre cloths.
Sponge Cloths - Shop Eco-Friendly Sponge Dishcloths - Biome
I have a variety of these biome brushes for all different purposes. The small handheld ones are good for scrubbing potatoes.
Biome Brushes
This is the brush you need to clean large drink bottles. A must.
EcoMax Coconut Fibre Bottle Brush - Large - Biome
You’ll need one of these if you buy a wrought or cast iron pan. You basically only need this and hot water to clean you pans. Alternatively you can use the basic steel scrubbers from supermarkets but they don’t last long so you have to keep replacing...
