Finally get organized and make the house shine like the top of the Chrysler Building — these are nearly always at the top of our New Year-New You Resolutions List. And since great successes need some great tools, we scoured the latest cleaning products to find the ones we’re most excited for. The eco-friendly picks have us pumped to brusha brusha brusha our homes to sparkling ready-for-the-‘gram clean. 

1. ECOS ECOSNext Liquidless Laundry Detergent 

It may sound like it’s from another dimension — a liquidless, powderless laundry soap — but this direct-to-drum detergent is very much available right now. Paraben-, phthalate-, and dye-free, these sheets completely dissolve in all water temperatures and are powerful against stains.

2. Humble Suds Scour Cleaning Paste

Two moms started this brand of plant-based, essential oil-infused cleaning products that are packaged in earth-friendlier containers (think tins and glass). Each of the items in the line have six ingredients or less. The MVP of the collection is this paste that can be used on everything from tubs to pots and pans, jewelry and even fruit. Made of baking soda, castile soap, and essential oils, the organic powerhouse degunks grout and grease and dissolves grime. For a bit of grit, add kosher salt when scrubbing.

3. Brandless Refillable Multi Surface Cleaner

The direct-to-consumer environmentally-conscious powerhouse bowed out of the scene for a short bit. It’s back and the Refillable Multi Surface Cleaner in Summer Breeze encapsulates everything that made the company so popular: It’s earth-, time-, and wallet-friendly. The starter pack comes with a sprayer and a single capsule to be dissolved in cold water. The triggered bottle promises up to 1,500 sprays to get whichever surface you prefer squeaky clean. Refills come in packs of two.

4. KUB Multipurpose Cleaning Wipes

At first glance, these organic cotton wipes packed with alcohol and aloe vera seem a bit pricey, but after reading the multi-use fine print, they feel more like a clean investment. You can swipe over electronics, other office tools, and toys. And they’re just as effective on skin. Remove any impurities post-mask wearing or just before bed. Packs are stacked with a minimum of 180 pieces.

5. Sqwishful Sqwish Set

This zero-waste, women-led company has created a 3-piece set for cleaning dishes, glasses, and silverware. Everything is dye-free and made in the USA. And it’s so chic, it makes a great gift. The set includes a pop-up sponge and scrub loofah, both made from wood pulp and other biodegradable materials, and a dish brush, composed of natural bamboo, sisal, and hemp.
