Plug-in scents have been much maligned in recent years, mostly because a lot of them use surprisingly toxic chemicals. As with anything, it really comes down to what you’re putting into your air. This version by Safely is made with essential oils and diffuses a gentle scent into the air, rather than an overpowering mist that's not great to constantly inhale.

If you have granite or stone in your kitchen then you know that certain cleaning solutions won't do. Everyone's beloved white vinegar, for instance, is a no-go because it can seriously mess with your stone counters. That's why a dedicated cleaner is a must, and this one is great because it doubles as a polish.

While it's generally more eco-friendly to opt for a cotton rag or dish towel, sometimes, you just need to use cleaning wipes. These Everspring wipes are great for a variety of surfaces, and reviewers note that the scent is significantly better and far less clinical than other brands. Most notably, these wipes are compostable.

Most alternatives to glass cleaner just don't seem to work. It seems like windows, breakfronts, and other glass surfaces end up streaky and cloudy, or the wipedown doesn't actually remove any grime. Therapy Clean promises a streak-free shine that reviewers agree delivers.

If you’re trying to shy away from paper towels but aren't into regularly washing cotton dishcloths, either, give these Swedish dishcloths a try. They’re known for being extremely absorbent—even more than regular cotton kitchen towels. Plus, the designs are super cute.

These dishwasher detergent packs have a lot to brag about. They’re non-toxic, tough on grease, and cruelty-free—all the good stuff we love in our sustainable brands. But let's also not ignore how great the packaging is. If you’re storing your cleaning supplies under the sink, this little container will save you a huge amount of space when you ditch the oversized plastic jug of dishwasher detergent.

Traditional kitchen sponges are shockingly bad for the earth, and a lot of brands are packed full of synthetic materials that you really don't need rubbing against your cookware.
