When it comes to spring cleaning, making choices that are pet-safe and environmentally conscious doesn’t mean you have to work harder. While I love using “better for you” products to clean sometimes I don’t have time to make my own cleaning products at home and don’t like my house smelling like vinegar. So while I do use baking soda and other products, once in a while I also rely on commercial cleaning products that are safe for both my pets and the kids.
Choose products that are environmentally conscious
When choosing cleaning products read the labels and buy products that have simple ingredients. When I buy cleaning products I also consider the packaging and look for packaging that is recyclable and products that are compostable.
That is why I am loving the NEW Clorox® Compostable Cleaning Wipes! The wipes are made from plant-based cloth that is compostable and clean without harsh chemicals. They include ingredients that are safe for use around kids, pets, and food. They are perfect for cleaning messes in the kitchen and pet messes too.
I get Clorox® Compostable Cleaning Wipes at Walmart along with other spring cleaning essentials. I love the free & clear variety that they carry. These unscented ones are now my go-to for easy cleaning around the house.
I think it’s so awesome that a brand I know and trust like Clorox® is making some big efforts in sustainability (to help make the world a better place) in the next few years and compostable wipes are one of them.
Use plants to purify the air inside your home
Every year, as part of my spring cleaning routine I get potted flowers and plants for my home. This not only makes my house look beautiful but it also helps clean the air inside my home. And plants can also help reduce stress and even boost your productivity!
Did you know that air inside your house can be between two and five times greater than air pollution outdoors! From the carbon monoxide, we produce and volatile compounds from paint in your furniture to fumes produced when cooking the air quality inside your home is less than ideal.
Indoor plants improve air quality by helping to reduce toxins and indoor pollutants. There are studies that show that plants can remove toxins commonly found in your homes like formaldehyde, benzene, and acetone. To improve your plant’s air purifying abilities make sure to keep their leaves clean by wiping them with a wet cloth and take them outside periodically so they can recharge. It’s also important to make sure that you’re choosing plants that are not toxic for your pets. Here is a great list of plants that can be toxic to your pets.
Open the windows
I lived most of my life in Guatemala, where houses don’t have AC or heating and people rely on natural ventilation. When the weather is nice, turn off the AC and open the windows. Airing out of the house and letting fresh air in is not only great for everyone’s health but it also reduces energy consumption which is great for the environment.

These sound like some awesome wipes. I will keep them in mind for sure. We have started to spring clean.
Your dog is the cutest! I haven’t seen these in stores yet, but look forward to trying them soon!
I like that these are unscented. Chemical fragrances bother me and cause an asthma attack.
I honestly had no idea that Clorox made these! I will have to pick some up next time we go shopping.
We try and keep windows open as much as possible. But once the pollen hits we have got to close them back up.
How cool that these are compostable! I never thought about composting wipes and I am surprised that these exist. We have a compost bin and I would love to try these out. We have a cat with IBS so I know all about pet messes!
I love my Clorox wipes! It’s nice to see that they’re becoming more enviornmentally conscious.
I have to add this to my shopping list.
Clorox wipes are so convenient and they are so effective. I really love this product and keep a supply in my home, office and car.
Thanks for recommending this brand, it sounds so great and I love that it’s compostable.
I love to have plants in the home but they tend to die. I have had to opt for opening windows to help keep fresh air in the home.
Your pup is so cute! We are starting some Spring cleaning this weekend. Will have to pick up these wipes.
Great tips! We never run out of disinfectant wipes. They are important to have especially these days.
I try to clean with pet safe products and have definitely been known to make my own cleaners. But this year def using the clorox!
We are thinking to adopt a puppy this summer. I think we are ready for this step. So we need all the cleaning tips!
I’m going to have to try these out. I love the Clorox brand and I haven’t tried these wipes yet.
I just started spring cleaning at my house. These are great products to use!
Using this brand too. Thanks for sharing some tips. Cleaning nowadays is different as we used before. More care and disinfection to stay safe.
What a great post! Although, I don’t have pets, I will still check out these products for my home. Also, I love air-purifying indoor plants ❤️
This is great to know. I love to keep a REALLY clean house, especially now, but I also want to protect our pets.
