Branding such as “plant-based”, “vegan” and “cruelty-free” are a few popular terms that you will find on products.

However, this doesn’t always mean that these cleaners are eco-friendly. It’s a good idea to check out reviews online and find products that clearly tell a sustainable story.

Final Thoughts

Sustainable products and environmentally friendly cleaners are becoming ever more popular and with the greater choice of products, we also need to be more careful with what we are actually buying.
