Eco-Friendly Cleaning Schedule
A cleaning routine that doesn't fill your house with synthetic fragrance and disposable bottles. Same clean, lower environmental load.
Who this is for
Households who want to clean effectively without harsh chemicals or single-use plastics — and aren't sure where to start.
You don't need a cupboard of specialty cleaners. Most cleaning can be done with vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, castile soap, microfiber cloths, and water. Those four cover 90% of household needs.
Schedule the same way you'd schedule any cleaning, but make a list at the bottom of the chart for the four products. That's your cleaning kit. Refill from bulk, skip the spray-bottle-of-the-week marketing.

How to use it
- Generate your normal weekly schedule. Tasks don't change — products do.
- Switch to multi-surface = vinegar + water. 1:1 spray bottle. Use on most surfaces (not stone).
- Use bicarbonate of soda for scouring. Replace bathroom scrubs and oven cleaner.
- Use castile soap for floors and dishes. Concentrated, biodegradable, very dilute.
- Wash microfiber cloths in mesh bags. Catches microplastics from going to waterways.

FAQ
Are eco-friendly cleaning products as effective?
For most household tasks, yes. Vinegar, bicarbonate, castile soap and microfiber handle 90% of cleaning. For deep oven/limescale jobs, occasional stronger products may still help.
What are the basic eco cleaning products?
White vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, castile soap, microfiber cloths, and water. That's the whole kit.
Is vinegar safe on all surfaces?
Most surfaces yes. Avoid stone (marble, granite), waxed wood, and screens. Otherwise it's the cheapest and best multi-surface cleaner there is.
