While most people dread vacuuming, organizing, mopping, and polishing, nothing brings us more peace and satisfaction than a deep cleaning session. What can we say? We are certified clean freaks and proud of it.

Given we take our cleaning rituals very seriously, the products we use have to follow a certain set of criteria. Not only are we trying to be more eco-conscious, so clean formulas are a non-negotiable, but we also want our space and linens to smell like a zen sanctuary after we tidy up. Who wants to breathe in harsh chemicals in their own home? Definitely not us. Thankfully, brands like Safely, The Laundress, Method and countless others offer cleaning products that not only get the job done, but smell amazing while keeping Mother Earth in mind.

Below, we rounded up our tried-and-true, eco-friendly cleaners that will get you excited to clean and get ready for tons of compliments from guests.

Choose from apple and pear blossom, orange and rosemary, and more.

It's plant-based, designed for baby's sensitive skin, and doesn't include any sulfates, dyes, formaldehyde, phosphates, phthalates, optical brighteners, or 1.4-dioxane. Best of all, it smells like the brand's signature crème douce scent (which I love and can only describe as light, fresh, and airy).
