How to choose eco-friendly cleaning products: 5 things on the label
“Natural” is not enough. Certification, pH, scent and packaging, plus tips for homes with kids and pets.
“Natural” or “green” on a label proves nothing on its own. We look at five things.
1. Independent certification
Such as the EU Ecolabel.
2. pH
Neutral products are safe for most surfaces.
3. Fragrance
Strong scent is not cleanliness; choose unscented with kids or pets.
4. Concentrates
Less plastic and transport.
5. The right cloth
Colour-coded microfibre reduces chemicals.
