I’m already familiar with Activeion, Seventh Generation, and Method. Just looking for more brands to research.
Further, these need to be products that can be purchased in bulk for the purpose of replacing a current commercial cleaning effort. My university is looking to use more sustainable cleaning products for its janitorial staff. This is why 7th Genereation or Method-type household products or homemade cleaners aren’t really doable without a significant addition of preparation time.

Some other good eco-friendly brands to research are Aubrey Organics, Bioshield, Dr. Bronner’s, Ecover and Naturally Yours.
However, it’s always greener (and cheaper) to go with homemade solutions when you can. Here are some of the most effective cleaning product recipes:
- Glass cleaner. In a spray bottle, combine water with 1/4 cup white vinegar and a couple of drops of liquid soap.
- Liquid scrub. Combine baking soda and liquid soap into a creamy, manageable consistency.
- Drain cleaner. Sprinkle 1/4 cup baking soda into drain. Pour in white vinegar until it completely covers the top of the drain and starts to bubble. Keep adding vinegar until it stops bubbling. Follow up with hot boiling water. Keep repeating this process until the drain is clear.
- Stain remover. Combine mixture of water with borax, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar and let set on stain. Note, only use lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide mixture on whites.
- Fabric softener. Add 1/4 baking soda or white vinegar to wash cycle.
- Oven cleaner. Create a paste of water and baking soda. Leave to set in oven overnight. Wipe clean, using a few drops of liquid soap if necessary to remove all residue.
