The best eco-friendly cleaning products to help you in your quest for a cleaner, greener home.
Most conventional cleaning products available at supermarkets are full of ingredients you really don’t want in your home or washing down the drain.
If you’re not into DIY, the good news is there are plenty of eco-friendly cleaning product brands in Australia making safer, greener alternatives. From refillable glass bottles to plant-based formulas, here are some of the best options in 2025.

1. Koala Eco
Australian-made and all-natural, Koala Eco has become a staple in green households. Their plant-based cleaners use essential oils from native botanicals, so your kitchen can smell like eucalyptus or lemon myrtle instead of chemical spray.
All bottles are made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials, and the brand gives back through 1% for the Planet. Affordable, effective, and gorgeously scented — they’ve nailed the eco-cleaning trifecta.
2. Ecostore
Born in New Zealand in 1993, Ecostore has been helping families ditch harsh chemicals for over three decades. Their packaging is made from sugarcane plastic (a renewable source) that’s recyclable and carbon-reducing.
In New Zealand you can refill bottles in-store, and in Australia you’ll find them widely available at Coles, Woolworths, and online. From laundry powder to dish liquid, their range is extensive and family-friendly.

Based in Noosa, Pleasant State makes just-add-water cleaning bars that dissolve into reusable glass bottles — cutting out single-use plastic entirely. Their formulas are plant-based, vegan, cruelty-free, and septic-safe, with options for multipurpose, glass, and bathroom cleaning.
The brand is B Corp certified and a member of 1% for the Planet, donating to environmental charities with every purchase. Pleasant State also ships plastic-free, using recyclable and compostable packaging.
4. The Dirt Company
Melbourne-based The Dirt Company focuses on laundry products with a refill model. Their sleek aluminium bottles are designed to be refilled using soft-plastic-free pouches, which customers can return for recycling.
Formulas are biodegradable, greywater safe, and free from the harsh stuff you don’t want near your clothes or waterways. Their laundry liquid consistently gets rave reviews for being both eco and effective.
5. resparkle
If you’re after performance and good design, Resparkle delivers. Their latest cleaning kits feature glass bottles wrapped in silicone sleeves, paired with sachets of concentrated refills, just add water and you’re good to go.
It’s a clever way to cut out single-use plastic without compromising on convenience. Their range now spans everything from laundry to personal care, making it easy to switch your whole home over.
6. Earth Choice
For budget-friendly eco cleaning, Earth Choice is hard to beat. Their multipurpose formulas mean fewer bottles under the sink, and the whole range is cruelty-free, plant and mineral-based, and widely available at Coles, Woolworths, and Chemist Warehouse.
Affordable doesn’t mean ineffective. Earth Choice has been an Aussie go-to for decades, proving sustainable swaps don’t need a premium price tag.
7. SimplyClean
Based in the Northern Rivers of NSW, SimplyClean is all about locally made, low-tox products that are safe for people, pets, and septic systems. Their standout is the Australian Lemon Myrtle cleaning range, which smells like a rainforest after rain.
All products are vegan, cruelty-free, and made in a solar-powered factory. Bulk refill options are available, making them a favourite for eco-conscious households.
8. Euclove
A Melbourne-born brand, Euclove blends Ayurvedic traditions with Australian botanicals to create plant-based cleaners that smell as good as they work. Think eucalyptus, clove, and lavender oils instead of chemical fragrances.
The range covers kitchens, bathrooms, glass, and fabrics, with bottles made from recycled plastic. They’re also a female-founded family business, which makes supporting them feel extra good.
9. Kin Kin
Made in the Noosa hinterland, Kin Kin Naturals is a family-run brand that keeps things simple: coconut- and mineral-based formulas, biodegradable and safe for greywater and septic systems.
Formulated by Felix, a PhD-qualified former OMO chemist, their products are gentle yet effective and available in bulk sizes to help reduce packaging waste.
