The Five Best Etsy Stores for Natural Cleaners and Detergents

by - Friday, January 24, 2020

We can minimize our fossil fuel use and support makers near us by buying more from local makers (and a lot less from big stores). I want to keep highlighting amazing makers in the US, and I feel like my Etsy links can get caught in the more mainstream shuffle. So let's look at some of the best stuff together.

We know that the majority of the cleaning detergents and supplies sold in stores are loaded with unnatural chemicals that are bad for our bodies and our homes, but what is the alternative? First, for most everything, you can make something yourself (and don't get me started on just how easy vinegar and orange peel is to make- how did these all purpose cleaners ever make money?).

If you don't have time to sew your own sponges and make your own window cleaner, you can find naturally made cleaners and detergents on Etsy. One good way to do it might be to have someone else's formula to start as you work out how to make your own cleaners (you can find every recipe you need for the kitchen and bathroom here). Cleaners like these could also make excellent gifts! Here are some good shops to start:

JuniperseedMerc

This Colorado-based shops makes beauty supplies as well, but my favorite items are their cleaning supplies. They make fizzy bombs to help keep the toilet clean, and they offer scrubbing pads, vinegars, and more.

MilamCo


This company sells toilet tabs that have stellar reviews. My favorite thing about them is that you can buy refills instead of getting a bunch of unnecessary packaging again and again (in fact, you could just start with refills and use a container you already have).

RFRESHSOAP

This California-based store sells natural solid dish soaps. This is a newer shift you can make with your dishes, but the soap tends to last longer, and you keep a bunch of unknown chemicals off of your food surfaces.

This store (also based in California) has a lot of variety in their cleaning products, with everything from cleaners to soap nuts (never heard of them? Look them up, because they are pretty cool).  This might be a cool place to start if you want to try a bunch of things since you aren't sure yet.

If you aren't ready to give up your spray cleaners (me either) but you aren't quite ready to make the leap to making your own, check out the sprays from naturalremediesbysam. Her natural cleaners probably don't have a ton of materials in them, but it can be a great way to try out a natural cleaner before you buy one yourself.
