TWIST cleaning products

Bad, anti-eco cleaning tools:

• Most sponges
• Clean and toss (non-recyclable) disposables like Swiffer products
• Paper towels

Better, eco-friendly cleaning tools:

• Loofahs
• Reusable cloths – you can buy packs of washcloths, use old cloth diapers, or cut up old clothing. Thrift stores are an especially good place to find old cleaning cloths.
• Twist Cleaning Kit
• Eco-sponge and sponge with walnut scrubber
• Microfiber sponge mitts
• Fight stains with the sun!
• O-Cedar Brooms – not perfect but greener than some with bristles made from recycled soda bottles and this broom has a long life.
• Bono Hardwood Floor Mop – comes with a reusable cloth head which is better than those sponge-like toss away mop heads.
• Get a greener vacuum cleaner

Other related green cleaning tips:

• Look for cleaning tools that come in minimal packaging.
• Make sure all your cleaning tools are reusable and have the longest life possible.
• Avoid plastics when possible and aim for natural bristles and wooden handles (like with a broom).
• Consider tools that do double duty – do you really need a brush for the tub and another for the sinks? No.
