Don’t Be Fooled by Labels — Find Cleaners That Are Truly Safe
April 15, 2025

Where to Find Safe, Non-Toxic Cleaning Products That Actually Work
Want safe, non-toxic cleaning products that actually work — without breathing in harsh fumes?
You’re not alone! Many families are switching to eco-friendly household cleaners, but it’s hard to know which products are truly safe. Some look green but still contain strong chemicals.
This guide will help you find cleaning products that are safe for your health, your home, and the planet.
Step 1: Don’t Just Trust the Label — Look for Real Proof
Words like “green,” “natural,” or “eco” don’t always mean a product is safe. These words aren’t checked by anyone. Companies can say them even if their products have strong chemicals inside.
To be sure a product is truly non-toxic, look for certified labels like:
EPA Safer Choice – Safer for families, pets, and indoor air
Green Seal – No bleach, ammonia, or fake scents
Made Safe – Free from harmful ingredients for people and the environment
EWG Verified – Checked by health experts for safety
Tip: Search the EPA Safer Choice Product Finder or EWG’s Guide to Healthy Cleaning to check any product before you buy it.
Step 2: Read the Ingredients — Even the Small Print
Even if a product looks eco-friendly, always check the label. Here’s what to avoid:
Fragrance – Can hide dozens of mystery chemicals
Bleach and Ammonia – Harsh on lungs and skin
Dyes and Preservatives – Can trigger allergies
2-butoxyethanol – Found in many glass and multipurpose cleaners, and can be toxic
Look for safe cleaning products that:
List all ingredients clearly
Use plant-based or biodegradable ingredients
Say what surfaces they’re made for
Step 3: Where to Buy Safe Cleaning Products
You don’t have to shop at a fancy store. Here are easy ways to find non-toxic cleaning products that work:
In Stores:
Target – Look for Everspring, Seventh Generation, ECOS
Whole Foods – Carries safer, vetted brands
Trader Joe’s – Some options, but check the label first
Online:
Amazon – Offers safer brands, but read reviews carefully
Thrive Market – Focuses on eco-friendly and organic items
Grove Collaborative – Delivers refillable, non-toxic products to your door
Trusted Non-Toxic Brands:
Better Life
Seventh Generation
ECOS
Puracy
Biokleen
Aunt Fannie’s
Note: Even in good brands, not every product is safe. Always check for certifications and read the label.
