Many people want to move away from traditional kitchen sponges – whether to reduce plastic waste, avoid microplastics, or find longer-lasting cleaning tools.

Most household spray cleaners come in single-use plastic bottles that are thrown away long before they wear out. Switching to environmentally friendly spray bottles is one of the simplest ways to cut plastic waste at home.

Choosing an environmentally friendly toilet bowl cleaner isn’t just about keeping your bathroom clean — it’s about reducing chemical exposure, protecting waterways, and making safer choices for everyday use.

Hand soap refill no plastic options are designed to reduce single-use packaging without compromising cleanliness or convenience. Instead of buying new plastic bottles each time, refill systems and soap tablets allow you to reuse one dispenser and simply add water, cutting down on plastic waste and transportation emissions.

If you’re reading this, then you know how easily laundry rooms get messy — and even thinking about it makes your eye twitch. The good news? There’s a way to organize it sustainably, reduce stress, and help the planet.

In my campaign of getting rid of plastic at home, I reached kitchen. A washing machine already works on eco-friendly detergent pods, sponges are plant-based, now it’s time to find a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottles with toxic liquid dish detergent. And a solution to this is a plant-based zero-waste solid dish soap bar.

I have to confess, for many years, I used liquid hand soap for its convenience without considering the environmental impact – just think about all the plastic bottles thrown away!

My cats' preferred game is to throw their toys or small pieces of garbage into the toilet bowl and then fish them back out. So, this sacred area should be clean and free of toxic chemicals.

I can’t imagine how many plastic bottles from spray cleaners I've thrown away over the years, and all of them are likely still lying in landfills, decomposing into microplastics and contaminating the planet. What a shame!
