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.
