Body wipes for camping are one of those things you don't think about until you're a couple of days into a trip without a shower. Whether you're backpacking, car camping, or spending a weekend at a festival, they can help you freshen up after a long hike, clean off sunscreen and sweat, or simply feel human again before crawling into your sleeping bag.

When you're camping, one small bottle of soap often ends up doing everything – washing your hands, cleaning your dishes, and sometimes even your clothes. But not every soap is suitable for outdoor use. The right camping soap should be lightweight, effective, and biodegradable, helping you reduce your impact while keeping clean on the trail or at the campsite.

There’s almost never a perfect solution –nothing is 100% sustainable. There are always trade-offs and conditions. The microfiber cloths vs. paper towels debate is no exception. Neither is perfect, but one can be better than the other. Let’s dig in.

Think about it – we wash dishes every day! We don’t do laundry or clean the house or car nearly as often. Dishwashing is one of the biggest contributors to a household’s environmental footprint. But on the bright side, if we make it more sustainable, it can make a significant difference.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
