I'm sure we all have a cabinet full of cleaning supplies – but how many of them actually make your home smell good?f
Enter: Method cleaning products, a brand I love to use around my home for an effective, great-scented clean that makes my home smell luxurious, rather than of strong chemicals.
So, whether you need to clean a house fast or just want to stock up on some of your favorites, these are the supplies I use for a luxurious smelling clean, with an affordable price tag.
I love these Method cleaning products to make my home smell luxurious
All Method bottles are also made to be refilled, reused and recycled, saving 96% of plastic every time the bottle is refilled compared to other, single-use alternatives. Therefore, using Method products is a brilliant cleaning trick to reduce plastic use at home, and while they do good for the earth, they certainly don't cost it!
If like me, you're looking for ways to clean your home without harming the planet, Method is it. As someone who shops cruelty-free makeup and skincare, this is something I also consider when buying cleaning supplies. Not only are all Method products cruelty-free and never tested on animals, they're also made without parabens or pthalates, and formulated with great scents that actually last around my home.
I love being able to match my cleaning scent-choices to the season, opting for fresher scents in spring and summer for a breath of fresh air in my space, and warmer scents in winter for a cozy feel. Aside from cleaning, I also love using the Method Foaming Hand Soap in the Sweet Water scent available at Amazon, which is available in a pack of six, ideal for stocking up. It leaves my hands soft and clean, and smells great too, with notes of grapefruit, lemon, jasmine and lily of the valley.
My top Method cleaning picks
This all-purpose cleaning spray is safe for use on almost all counters around my house, and I use it in my kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The biodegradable formula cuts through grease and grime, leaving behind a pink grapefruit scent blended with blood orange and cassis, which smells clean and zesty. Do not use on porous surfaces such as marble as it has citric acid that can damage it.
This spearmint scented bathroom cleaner not only makes your bathroom smell fresh – it also kills 99.9% of bacteria. Suitable for use on bathtubs, toilets, sinks and tiles, it cleans and sanitizes in one simple step, harnessing the cleaning power of citric acid, with a bottle made of 65% recycled plastic.
If you want to make laundry smell better, why not try using mango scented laundry detergent? Combining a zing of fiery ginger with sweet mango, this laundry detergent keeps colors white and brights bright with a concentrated formula to fight tough dirt and stains.
FAQs
What is the best natural household cleaner?
For another eco-friendly option that really works, you can clean with vinegar, or clean with baking soda.
Both of these are natural sanitizers and deodorizers, and the smell of vinegar will dissipate after use. In fact, I cleaned my house using only baking soda and vinegar for a week, and was amazed at the results. You can also put lemons in the dishwasher for a natural cleaning boost and amazing fragrance.
If you prefer to make more sustainable choices at home, like me, try these eco-friendly organizing tips to create a greener, more environmentally-conscious home.
Try using sustainable storage solutions, or upcycle or re-purpose items you already have such as reusing candle jars and be mindful of your personal consumption. Also, donate items you no longer need when decluttering instead of sending them to landfill.
