Back to Basic Cleaning Products...

We all clean our homes with the common household cleaning products, like Fantasik, Clorox, Lysol, Mr. Clean, Windex, and 409 to name a few. When we’re done, it feels great—everything looks clean and smells fresh, right? But is it truly 'clean'? What’s that 'clean' smell really doing to you and your family?"

Many common household cleaners, while effective at tackling the messes of cooking, kids', and our pets, often come with a hidden cost to our health. Ingredients like ammonia, bleach, and synthetic fragrances can irritate our skin, eyes, and respiratory systems. Though they leave our homes "clean", they can also leave behind toxins that linger in the air or on surfaces we touch every day. So, while cleaning is essential, it’s important to be mindful of what’s in the products we use—and consider safer, more natural alternatives when we can.

That’s why I switched to Clean People—and honestly, I haven’t looked back. I’m a HUGE fan. Real life I am sleepy in the mornings, and I will spill coffee on the countertop, and Fantasik couldn’t touch it. Out came the Clorox bleach (ugh). Now? One spray of Clean People’s Lemon Verbena Cleaner Concentrate and the stain is gone on the first wipe. Plus, it smells amazing—fresh without being fake.

Sometimes, organic really does clean organic. And with Clean People, I know my house is actually clean, no harmful chemical toxins left behind.

I have their dish liquid, laundry detergent, hand soap, all-purpose cleaner, dryer sheets, and even their silicone reusable bags. Love, love, love this company!

If you’re thinking about starting your own cleaner, non-toxic journey, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Here’s a little starter kit I put together with my favorites. You can order directly from Clean People (cheaper that way) order takes 3-5 days. Or if you’d rather, some of these swaps are on Amazon.

🧴 Clean People Cleaner Concentrate – $12.75

These lasts forever! You will need your own spray bottle. I went with glass (no plastic, please). 2-pack glass bottles $9.99 #ad https://amzn.to/4fXUHwL

Available in scented or unscented.

🍽 Clean People Dishwasher Pods or Powder – $16.99 (60 loads)

🖐 Clean People Hand Soap – $16.99 (12-pack with pump)

This one comes with a plastic soap pump, so I swapped it into a cute mason jar glass pump. #ad Amazon jar $13.39 or just the pump #ad https://amzn.to/425Uz8u $8.99

💰Quick Math: If you grab just these basics, you’re under $80. Plus, ordering directly from Clean People gets you at least 10% off your first order. And if you’re not happy? They offer free returns within 30 days.

For me, Clean People isn’t just about products—it’s about knowing that I am cleaning with natural ingredients and not toxic chemicals. I love knowing my home is actually clean without all the hidden yucks, and it makes me feel good to share that with my family (and now with you). Switching to them has been one of the simplest, most rewarding steps in my non-toxic journey.

I would love, love to know if you try any of these products and what you think of them.

Have a beautiful day!

Below is a bit more information about Clean People and what you will find in their products and why it works so well.

Clean People is dedicated to creating non-toxic, environmentally friendly cleaning products that are safe for you and the planet.

What They Use:

Plant-Based Surfactants: These are derived from plants like coconut and corn. They are effective at breaking down grease and grime without the harshness of synthetic chemicals. Surfactants help to lift dirt and stains, making cleaning more efficient.

Essential Oils: Clean People use essential oils for fragrance and additional cleaning properties. Oils like lavender, lemon, and eucalyptus not only smell great but also offer natural antimicrobial benefits.

Citrus Extracts: Citrus ingredients like lemon and orange extracts are often used for their natural degreasing abilities and fresh scent. They are also rich in antioxidants, which help break down oils and dirt.

Aloe Vera: Aloe vera is commonly used in Clean People products for its soothing and moisturizing properties. It helps keep surfaces and skin safe from drying out while cleaning.

Baking Soda: Known for its deodorizing and mild abrasive qualities, baking soda is a gentle yet effective ingredient in their products, especially in things like scrubs and deodorizers.

Vinegar: A natural disinfectant and deodorizer, vinegar is a common ingredient for cutting through grease, stains, and odors. It's a versatile cleaning agent that is safe for a wide range of surfaces.

Glycerin: Often used as a humectant, glycerin helps retain moisture in cleaning products and can be gentle on the skin. It’s particularly helpful in products that might come in contact with your hands, like hand soaps.

Water: As the primary base for many of their formulas, water is used as a solvent to dissolve and mix other ingredients, ensuring that the product spreads evenly and effectively.
