The Brands We Support
There are plenty of natural cleaning products and brands on the market, so what makes some brands better than others? This is a personal choice however we do support and stock the following natural cleaning brands on our own website:
Abode
Abode is run by husband and wife team Mark Netherway and Nicole Bijlsma who realised that the home environment is a major contributing cause of many illnesses. They have created a range of products that use food and pharmaceutical grade ingredients, minus the fillers and other nasties. Abode is proudly Australian made and owned and all the ingredients used are sustainably sourced, environmentally friendly and greywater safe too.
Ecologic
Ecologic cleaning products are eco-friendly and non-toxic made from natural and organic ingredients. They are a blend of organic herbs, plant extracts and pure essential oils for effective and beautifully scented cleaning products for the whole home. Their products are free from phosphates, are biodegradable and are cruelty-free which makes them great for you and the environment.
Ecover
This Belgian company was established in 1979 and are a popular brand when it comes to environmentally friendly cleaning products. Their packaging is manufactured from a mix of renewable sugarcane ‘plastic’ and post-consumer recyclable plastic. Ecover are a Fair Trade company, meaning their social and environmental performance is outstanding. The majority of their vegan-friendly range of cleaning products are palm-oil free and biodegradable.
Koala Eco
A popular brand amongst the staff here at Australian NaturalCare thanks to the gorgeous smell of these products! The company was launched in Sydney in 2017, based here in Australia and also in California. Koala Eco products are made with Australian essential oils and other native plants celebrated for their cleansing and therapeutic properties, all while killing 99.9% of germs. Their range of products are vegan, palm oil free and environmentally friendly.
Simply Clean
All of the Simply Clean products are made in the heart of the Northern Rivers region of NSW. Simply Clean is a family run business that is dedicated to toxin-free living. The products contain no artificial nasties and all of their fragrances are from pure Australian essential oils. Their range is palm oil free, uses sustainable and ethical ingredients and is not tested on animals.
Choosing Products For Your Home
We have a great abundance of natural home cleaners on our website – so where do you begin to choose the most suitable products for you, your family and your home? We have categorised some our plentiful range of natural cleaning products (and highlighted some staff favourites) to help you choose:
Mould Cleaners
We stock two Simply Clean mould cleaners: the Lemon Myrtle Disinfectant and Simply NO Mould Spray. Each of these mould cleaners help to eradicate mould and prevent future mould growth, leaving the area smelling and looking fresh and clean.
Spray & Wipe Cleaners
If you’re looking for a multi-purpose, natural spray and wipe cleaner, look no further – we have plenty of options to choose from. If you’re looking for a spray and wipe cleaner with a fresh scent, consider:
In need of a glass cleaner, too? Simply Clean and Koala Eco brands offer natural glass cleaners. The Simply Clean glass cleaner provides a fresh, lemon myrtle fragrance while the Koala Eco brand is peppermint scented.
If you’d like a spray & wipe product specifically for the kitchen, consider the Koala Eco All Natural Multi-Purpose Kitchen Cleaner – it’s a staff favourite! It is scented with mandarin and lemon myrtle and can be used on stove tops, benches, in and on the fridge, on kitchen cupboards and in ovens, too.
Laundry Detergents, Powders & Softeners
Some natural laundry products smell great but aren’t so great at actually removing stains. For tough stains, try the Abode High Performance Laundry Soaker on stained items before popping them in the washing machine. The Ecover Stain Remover is also fantastic.
For your regular washes, we have plenty of options to choose from – the Simply Clean range offer Lemon Myrtle or Eucalyptus Laundry powders, Koala Eco stock a Laundry Liquid scented with lemon, eucalyptus and rosemary and the Abode brand have a lovely lavender & mint laundry liquid.
For those who have sensitive skin or allergies, we highly recommend:
Dishwashing Products
Whether you’re looking for dishwashing liquid, tablets or powder, we’ve got you covered. Abode have a fantastic, grey-water safe and biodegradable dishwashing liquid in multiple scents: Ginger and Lemongrass, Wild Lavender and Mint, and Lime Spritz. The liquid foams and lathers up beautifully too, meaning you don’t need to use close to half the bottle per wash. If you find you have quite sensitive skin that is prone to drying out after washing the dishes, you may prefer the Ecover Lemon and Aloe Vera Washing Up Liquid – the aloe vera is extra soothing on the skin.
For dishwasher products, we recommend the Ecover Rinse Aid and their All-In-One Citrus Dishwasher Tablets.
Floor Cleaners
We couldn’t pick a favourite floor cleaner because they clean brilliantly and smell fantastic too – it will come down to a personal choice of yours! We stock:
Bathroom Cleaners
The natural bathroom cleaners we stock smell lovely and are also antimicrobial, thanks to their high quality essential oil content. For good quality, natural toilet cleaners, consider the Abode Toilet Gel in Rosemary & Mint or Tea Tree, or the Ecover Pine Mint Triple Action Toilet Cleaner.
For other areas of the bathroom, we recommend either the Abode Rosemary & Mint Bathroom Cleaner or the Koala Eco All Natural Multi-Purpose Bathroom Cleaner. They each cut through soap scum, dirt and grime without all of the harsh, harmful ingredients you’d typically find in your standard supermarket options.
