Between illness, tracked-in dirt, mealtime messes and general grime that comes par for the course as a family of four, my house could always use a good cleaning. Instead of using traditional chemical-laden cleaners, I rely on natural solutions that don't pose risks to my kids or pets. Switching to natural and organic products also improves indoor air quality since you aren't releasing harsh chemicals into the air, which in turn helps reduce skin irritations and respiratory infections. Plus, nontoxic, biodegradable and renewable ingredients are better for the environment. While all of these green cleaners may not kill every virus, they do keep your home microbe-friendly, allowing the "good" bacteria to stay in your home's ecosystem.

Keep scrolling to see the tried-and-true products I (as well as my fellow HGTV editors) use because they are kid-safe, clean our houses efficiently and are kind to the earth. Bonus: You'll even see some of the HGTV Editors' Clean Home Awards winners throughout this article, so rest assured knowing those products went through a rigorous testing process to make it into our top picks.

EXPERTS' PICKS

HGTV Editors' Clean Home Awards

Our testers tried hundreds of products to find the best ones for all your home cleaning needs.

Cleaning Solutions + Soaps

$13.59
Amazon

A versatile all-purpose cleaner in your cleaning stockpile is essential. The editor-reviewed and tested Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner is a concentrated formula you can use on your floors, laundry, dishes and even your car — yet it's gentle enough not to irritate your skin. Nontoxic and biodegradable, this product is made with purely organic ingredients, most of which are also fair trade.

$33
Common Good

Another one of our favorite reviewed products is the Common Good Bathroom Cleaner. Not only is it free from ammonia, chlorine, parabens, phthalates and sulfates, but it's also fully biodegradable, septic and greywater system-safe, and cruelty-free. Our testers really loved how effective it was to use and that it had a great bergamot smell.

$7.99
Grove Collaborative

Our editors tested this multi-purpose cleaner on a variety of surfaces and were super impressed. Since the product comes in a concentrate, dilute it in a spray bottle to effectively clean your floors. The clean formula doesn't include parabens, phthalates, phosphates and dyes. Former managing editor Kayla Kitts says, "Grove Collaborative's Multi-Purpose Cleaning Concentrate is the best. My favorite scent is orange and rosemary, but lavender and thyme is just as lovely and will take over your house — in a good way."

$15
Amazon

Vinegar has long been a beloved cleaner for natural product enthusiasts. Aunt Fannie's Floor Cleaner Vinegar Wash is a plant-based floor cleaner that uses vinegar to get rid of dirt and grime so you can feel good about little ones and pets crawling around right after you've cleaned.

$8
Target

Our go-to for quick wipe-downs of everything from high chairs to kitchen counters, Babyganics All-Purpose Surface Wipes are lifesavers for busy parents. Made from plant-derived and mostly organic ingredients, these are completely safe to use on all surfaces of your house. They really work, too!

$23
Amazon

We'd be remiss to omit the obvious OG natural cleaner from this roundup – vinegar. Mix half vinegar and half water in a glass bottle, and drop a generous amount of tea tree essential oil, and voila, you've just created the most natural all-purpose cleaner money can buy.

$16
Amazon

Made in-house at ATTITUDE's Canadian facility, this EWG Verified brand prioritizes sustainability using plant-based ingredients, recyclable packaging and planting a tree for every purchase. This all-purpose cleaner is safe enough to use on food prep surfaces, yoga mats and everywhere in between.

Former assistant editor Molly Miller loves the floor cleaner. "I purchased this on a trial basis after my second child was born, and now I refuse to buy any other brand. It's so, so good. I'm excited to try more household cleaners and personal care products from this brand!"

$23
Amazon

For those tough-to-tackle spots, most of us grab a powder cleanser. However, many of them are harmful to the environment and our skin. The Bon Ami Powder Cleanser takes on dirt, rust and stains with renewable corn and coconut oils, making it a smart and natural alternative. Plus, it doesn't scratch appliances and is hypoallergenic, containing no chlorine, perfumes or dyes.

$14

One of the best all-natural laundry products out there, Puracy's Natural Stain Remover works just as well as its mainstream competitors. Formulated by chemists and evaluated by doctors, the biodegradable solution is comprised of plant-based enzymes and contains no SLS, SLES, sulfates, phosphates, animal by-products, chlorine, bleach, dyes, petrochemicals, caustics or optical brighteners.

Former assistant editor Molly Miller says, "It gets out every single tough stain, from baby blowouts to spaghetti sauce. I was amazed at how well this natural cleaner worked."

Not only do big plastic laundry jugs take up a lot of room on your shelf, but they can also take up to 1,000 years to decompose.
