Choose Natural Ingredients for a dedicated Plastic-Free Cleaning Routine

Written By: Ardianto Putra

Practising a plastic-free lifestyle goes beyond just reducing plastic usage in your cleaning solutions. Many people are turning to alternative products or creating their own DIY solutions to replace conventional commercial products. But there are additional steps you can take to support a “greener” lifestyle—like choosing natural materials for your cleaning tools.


When opting for eco-friendly cleaning products, it's not just the sprays and liquids that should be swapped out. Consider the tools you use as well. Plastic brushes, dusters, mops, and brooms can easily break with heavy use and are difficult to recycle. Wooden alternatives are not only sturdier and longer-lasting, but they also decompose more easily when it's time to replace them.


Take your cleaning sponges, for example. They might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about reducing plastic, but they are a significant source of microplastic pollution in water and contribute to landfill waste. Switching to washable or naturally-made sponges and cloths is a simple first step toward sustainability.


If you're moving into your new house, HDB or condo, and whether you’re a small family or living alone, we highly recommend our Multi-purpose Cleaning + Eco Cloth combo. This eco-friendly option saves space and money. It’s perfect for any surface, and with just one eco cloth, you can replace up to 30 rolls of paper towels.


Let's continue embracing a plastic-free lifestyle with these small but impactful actions.
