Here’s a curated list of natural cleaning products in Australia, updated for 2026.
Cleaning products are an oddly intimate part of domestic life. We use them on the surfaces we cook on, the clothes we wear against our skin, the floors our kids play on.
And yet most of us grew up accepting whatever popular supermarket brand is readily available without much thought for what’s inside them, or the impact they have once they go down the drain. So many conventional cleaners rely on heavy fragrance and unnecessary ingredients. Then there’s all that plastic packaging designed to be used once and thrown away.
But at the same time, most of us are time-poor. We don’t want to trial-and-error our way through a bunch of products and end up with a cupboard full of half-used bottles. We want good cleaning products that smell great, and actually do what they say.
Fortunately, there are plenty of excellent eco-friendly cleaning products and laundry brands in Australia, making safer, greener alternatives. From refillable glass bottles to plant-based formulas. Below are the brands we keep coming back to.
1. Koala Eco
Koala Eco is one of those brands that leaves your house smelling amazing after you’ve cleaned. Eucalyptus and lemon myrtle are the backbone of the range, giving the products a fresh and distinctly Australian scent.
Everything is made in Australia using plant-based, fully biodegradable ingredients, without petrochemicals, sulphates or phosphates. The range covers all the usual household jobs, from kitchen and bathroom sprays to laundry and dishwashing, which makes it easy to switch to more natural cleaning products without juggling multiple brands.
Bottles are made from recycled plastic, refills are available, and the products are vegan, cruelty-free and allergy-safe. Koala Eco also donates 1% of sales through 1% for the Planet.
If you care as much about how your home smells as how clean it is, this one’s hard to beat.
2. Ecostore
Born in New Zealand in 1993, ecostore has been helping households swap out harsher cleaning products for gentler alternatives for more than three decades.
It’s widely available in Australia, making it one of the easiest places to start if you’re looking to switch to more eco-friendly cleaning without changing how you shop. With an extensive range of laundry, dishwashing, and surface cleaners to body and baby products, including a dedicated fragrance-free, sensitive-skin range. All products are plant-based, biodegradable and free from synthetic fragrance and optical brighteners, plus the packaging is made from renewable sugarcane plastic.
If you’re buying regularly, it’s worth going direct. ecostore runs frequent, generous sales on their own site, which makes stocking up on staples like laundry powder and dish liquid surprisingly affordable for an eco brand.
In New Zealand, many products can be refilled in-store, and while refill options are more limited here, ecostore remains one of the easiest low-tox brands to keep in rotation without changing how you shop.

3. The Dirt Company
The Dirt Company makes laundry products, and they do it really well. It’s one of those brands you will fall hard for, largely because the scents are really that good. Clean and warm, like expensive soap rather than a standard detergent, and the scent lingers on freshly washed laundry in the best way.
The Dirt range is designed to work as a system. Laundry liquid, stain remover and boosters are meant to be used together, and when you’re dealing with oily food spills, sweat, or those dreaded yellowing sunscreen stains, they really work. The formulas are enzyme-based and thoughtfully balanced, strong enough to tackle stains without being harsh on fabrics. Dirt is also generous with advice, sharing loads of practical tips on how to treat stains properly so you’re not just hoping for the best.
You buy the main bottles once (made with glass and silicone), then top up with refills that last a long time, and when they’re empty, you send them back to The Dirt Company to be recycled and turned into new refill bags, keeping the loop going.
4. Pleasant State
A Noosa-based favourite from the Sunshine Coast, Pleasant State is an all-natural and low-waste cleaning brand built around refillable bottles and solid cleaning bars. One of the first Australian brands to take this concentrated-bar approach.
Instead of buying liquid cleaners again and again, you add water at home and drop in a bar that dissolves into a multipurpose, bathroom or glass cleaner. When you run out, you simply reorder the tablets, which also cuts down on transport and packaging waste.
They are female-founded and B Corp certified, with 1% of sales going to environmental causes like Take 3 for the Sea. The formulas are plant-based and low-tox, with light, clean scents that don’t overwhelm the space you’re cleaning.
It’s an easy way to cut down on plastic without changing how you clean. Fewer bottles under the sink, less waste overall, and products that still feel nice to use.
5. Kin Kin
A family-run cleaning brand made in the Noosa hinterland. It started at home, with founders Sandy and Felix (a PhD-qualified former OMO chemist) wanting products they felt comfortable using around their kids and in their garden and waterways.
The formulas are built around simple ingredients like coconut-based surfactants, mineral salts, bicarbonate and essential oils. The Kin Kin range covers laundry, dishwashing and all general household cleaning, with products that are super concentrated and genuinely long-lasting.
If you have sensitive skin and struggle with irritation from conventional detergents, Kin Kin is incredibly gentle on the skin with subtle scents that don’t feel overpowering.
6. Euclove
This Melbourne cleaning brand blends plant-based ingredients with essential oils, drawing on Ayurvedic principles rather than synthetic fragrance. Euclove uses oils like eucalyptus, clove, tea tree and lemongrass across the range, chosen for their natural cleaning properties as much as their scent.
The lineup covers everyday household cleaning, including kitchen, bathroom, glass and fabric sprays. The formulas are plant-based, biodegradable and designed for regular use, with the essential oils doing the heavy lifting rather than added fragrance.
The bottles are made from recycled plastic, with refill options also available. Euclove is Australian-made and family-run, and has kept its focus on great-smelling botanicals and clean formulations.
