Top 10 Safest & Healthiest Non-Toxic Cleaning Products (Checkit Approved)

A clean home shouldn’t come with a side of toxic fumes, skin irritation, or hidden endocrine disruptors. Yet many “eco” or “green” cleaning products still hide problematic chemicals behind vague ingredient lists.

At Checkit, we go beyond the front label to see what’s really inside — so you can breathe easier (literally). Here are our top 10 picks for non-toxic cleaning products that actually live up to the hype.

1. Branch Basics Concentrate

• Why it made the list: One plant- and mineral-based concentrate for laundry, dishes, and surfaces. No fragrance, dyes, or harmful preservatives.

• The truth: Most “all-purpose” cleaners still sneak in quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), which can cause respiratory issues.

2. Better Life All-Purpose Cleaner

• Why it made the list: Plant-derived surfactants and essential oils. Biodegradable and safe around pets and kids.

• The truth: Even “natural” sprays often hide synthetic fragrances — this one discloses every ingredient.

3. Seventh Generation Free & Clear Dish Liquid

• Why it made the list: No dyes, synthetic fragrance, or phosphates. USDA Certified Biobased Product.

• The truth: Some “free & clear” dish soaps still contain SLES — a known skin irritant. This one skips it.

4. Ecover Zero Laundry Liquid

• Why it made the list: Fragrance-free, plant-based, packaged in 100% recycled plastic.

• The truth: Many laundry detergents leave residue containing optical brighteners and allergens — this one rinses clean.

5. Attitude Nature+ Bathroom Cleaner

• Why it made the list: EWG Verified, vegan, and hypoallergenic. Removes soap scum without chlorine bleach.

• The truth: Most bathroom cleaners rely on bleach or ammonia — Attitude uses citric acid and plant-based surfactants instead.

6. Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner

• Why it made the list: Highly concentrated, biodegradable, and versatile. Scented with essential oils only.

• The truth: Some “essential oil” cleaners still contain hidden synthetic scents — Sal Suds is transparent and safe.

7. Force of Nature Cleaner & Disinfectant

• Why it made the list: On-demand electrolyzed water system that makes a powerful yet non-toxic disinfectant.

• The truth: Most disinfectants rely on harsh quats or chlorine — this uses hypochlorous acid, safe for kids and pets.

8. Bon Ami Powder Cleanser

• Why it made the list: Only 5 simple ingredients — no bleach, dyes, or fragrance.

• The truth: Many scouring powders contain silica dust or chlorine — Bon Ami avoids both.

9. Meliora Cleaning Products Gentle Scrub

• Why it made the list: Plastic-free packaging, simple non-toxic ingredients, woman-owned brand.

• The truth: Abrasive cleaners often hide microplastics or harsh synthetic detergents — not here.

10. ECOS Window Cleaner

• Why it made the list: Plant-powered formula with vinegar, no ammonia or alcohol fumes.

• The truth: Many glass cleaners contain ammonia, which can trigger asthma — ECOS leaves glass streak-free without it.

Bottom Line:

Your home can be spotless without the chemical cocktail. Always check the full ingredient list, skip vague “fragrance” labels, and choose products that are transparent about what’s inside. Clean shouldn’t mean compromised — and with Checkit, it never will.
