Some key elements include:The types of ingredients in a product: We took a careful look at the ingredients used in each product to make sure they were safe, nontoxic, and naturally derived. We avoided products with ingredients that have the potential to negatively affect your family’s health or the environment.Top choices from reputable environmental organizations: Groups like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publish annual reports on organic and natural cleaning products with rankings from best to worst.

“Usually, you’ll see [labels] like natural, all-natural, or plant-based, but these do not necessarily mean organic,” he explains. While many of these cleaners are excellent options and are a lot safer than chemical-laden cleaning products, if they don’t carry the USDA organic label, they can’t be considered a certified organic cleaner.

If a product isn’t USDA-certified organic, we have called that out in our list. Most all-natural cleaning products that are labeled clean or plant-based include safe ingredients, including:white vinegarbaking sodathymolcastile soaplemon juicevegetable glycerincitric acidoils like jojoba seed, coconut, olive, lavender, lemon, orange, peppermint, tea tree, and eucalyptus
According to the EWG, using the terms “natural” or “plant-based” implies that at least some of the ingredients are natural or plant-based, but it doesn’t mean it applies to all ingredients. What’s more, terms like these aren’t regulated.

The spray has a mild fragrance that comes from organic fresh mint. It’s USDA-certified organic and is safe to use around pets and children. Note that you may need to clean glass a few times to eliminate streaks.

To find the safest, most natural products, cleaning experts recommend staying clear of the following types of ingredients: phthalatesphosphatespetroleum solventsbutyl glycolethylene glycolmonobutylammoniaalkylphenol surfactantssynthetic fragrancessynthetic dyesVOCs
Also, look for products that are labeled as cruelty-free or not tested on animals. If you’re not sure where to start, consider cross-referencing the EWG Guide to Healthy Cleaning to see if a particular brand meets the guidelines. The EPA also keeps a list of products that are part of the Safer Choice standard.

Organic cleaning products are just as effective at non-organic products for general cleaning and dirt removal. But many of these products aren’t intended as disinfectants. Make sure to check the label for safe disinfectant ingredients if that’s your goal.

Natural cleaning products are great for general dirt and soil removal, but they may not be the best at combatting the COVID-19 and other bacteria and germs. That’s because many eco-friendly cleaning products are not made for disinfecting.

The key to finding the best organic or all-natural products is to experiment with a few different brands or formulas until you find the ones that work best for your needs. Carefully read the ingredients label of any cleaning product to be sure they don’t include toxic chemicals or harsh ingredients. When possible, opt for products that are USDA-certified organic or that use 100% natural or plant-based ingredients.
