ecological nice smelling cleaning products?

[myotherface]

I love cleaning products that smell nice, especially floral ones. Has anyone found a good ecological cleaning product for surfaces or floors? Longing for a time when good cleaning products like this would even come in refillable containers... How boring am I?!

Method almond wood floor cleaner

perfume is not essential and so is wasteful. Don't buy fragranced anything if you are 'eco'.

I like Splosh. Refillable containers, unlike Method, with a product which come in concentrated form for you to make up with water www.splosh.com/

The Waitrose ecological range smells divine.

@mencken to be fair most cleaning is not essential either...

this is true. Great, isn't it?

How far down the route of ecological do you want to go?

For me , they need to be No Animal Testing .
Then I look at huge sizes ( less packaging: volume ratio)
And I do like a nice smell.

Micro fibre cloth and water would use no products but you will have the microscopic fibres when you wash them.

I used a steamer in my guinea-pigs house because it cleaned/sterilised/no residue .

I've got those Lakeland white cloths and use Astonish paste on marks .
Method YlanYlang on bathroom

The method anti bac spray smells lovely but it doesn't actually clean my kitchen...

We use ecover lemongrass and ginger all purpose stuff, smells heavenly. You can get huge bottles too so saves packaging waste

I second splosh! Their watermelon kitchen cleaner smells divine. Their toilet cleaner is wonderful too.

White Vinegar, Water. Lemon Juice and a few drops of Tea Tree Oil is all I use in the kitchen.

I don't think anything that comes in a single use plastic bottle eg Method could ever be described as ecological.

As far as I know, Method and Ecover do at least use recycled plastic for their bottles. Still have the problem of the spray part though I guess.

Oh, and the Wilko own brand eco range is very good too (also uses recycled plastic for their bottles).

You also have to bear in mind that both Ecover and Method sold out to Johnson & Johnson, an American company which tests on animals.

I recommend cruelty-free and cheap Dri Pak products for cleaning. Liquid soda crystals is brilliant for greasy kitchen mess and available in many supermarkets and cheapy shops like Home Bargains. I like to use citric acid in the loo and for cleaning the bathroom, as I use proper soap mostly. Just don't go down the route of mixing them, as all you're doing is creating useless and relatively expensive salts.

SC Johnson is not the same company as Johnson & Johnson

Look at Splosh. Online company that, once you have purchased your first bottle, send out highly concentrated refills in the post which you dilute with water.
I’m a first time user and love the lavender washing liquid and conditioner. The almond flood cleaner works very well, only has a subtle scent though.

Hand soap good too, oh and so is the surface cleaning spray. I’ve got the pink one.

My mistake, it was SC Johnson, but they, too, test on animals.

Ecover and Method sold out

Oh , arse ! When did this happen? My Method bottles ( trio from Costco) have got the Leaping Bunny on them but I cannot remember when I bought them.

Since 2017, @70isaLimitNotaTarget. They still claim to be cruelty-free, though.

Looks like several of us use Splosh. They have developed a really good range since they first set up and you can get starter packs which are good value.

I'm using these - I get the general cleaner and dilute into a spray bottle. Really impressed, I tried them on a whim and it's lasting ages should clean more
Currently on baby powder fragrance! There's loads to pick from

Really rate it as a cleaner, especially floor cleaner, too.

I like Kinn Living. Available at Waitrose and now I see it on Ocado too, exciting!
