Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products That Actually Work (Austin Edition)
More Austin families are switching to eco-friendly cleaning — for their kids, pets, allergies, and the planet. But there's a myth that green products don't clean as well. After years of cleaning homes across Austin, here's what we've found actually works.
Why Go Eco-Friendly?
- Healthier air. Harsh chemicals leave residues and fumes that linger, especially in Austin's humid climate where homes stay closed much of the year.
- Safer for kids and pets. They crawl on and touch every surface — what's on the floor ends up on their hands.
- Better for sensitive skin. Many conventional cleaners irritate eczema and allergies.
- Environmentally responsible. What goes down your drain ends up in Austin's waterways.
Products We Trust
All-purpose: A vinegar + water + dish soap solution handles 80% of surfaces. For tougher jobs, Brands like Seventh Generation and Mrs. Meyer's are reliable.
Glass: A 50/50 vinegar and water mix with a microfiber cloth leaves streak-free glass — better than many ammonia sprays.
Bathroom: Baking soda as a mild abrasive for tubs and sinks; hydrogen peroxide for grout; a vinegar spray for soap scum.
Kitchen: Dish soap and hot water degrease better than most people expect. For baked-on grease, a paste of baking soda and water left to sit works wonders.
Floors: A mild soap and warm water works on hardwood, tile, and laminate — avoid soaking wood.
