While cleaning is supposed to give your home a refreshing feeling, most mainstream cleaning products have frustrating components: toxins, pollutants and an awful chemical smell. This is especially irritating — and even dangerous — for those who have allergies or asthma. Luckily, more companies have been presenting natural, plant-derived cleaning products to help consumers cleanse their homes without filling their households with hazardous products. Here are some of the best all-natural products to use in your home:
AspenClean Natural All Purpose Cleaning Kit

Its products, which are scented with essential oils, are all biodegradable, aren’t tested on animals and are safe for kids and pets. The organic ingredients and the natural scent can be used in many versatile ways in any room in your home.

The cleaner is created using only plant-derived ingredients, but still packs the same punch as standard household cleaners, ensuring that irritating chemicals won’t be necessary to deeply clean the dirty, grimy areas in your home.
