Eco-Friendly Cleaning and Hygiene Essentials Everyone Needs
If you’re thinking of jumping on board the green cleaning trend, kudos to you for taking a step toward an environmentally-friendly lifestyle.
Using green products is beneficial to you in several ways, because they essentially reduce the build-up of harmful chemical residue in your home. This means that your family will be a lot healthier too.
What exactly are eco-friendly personal hygiene and cleaning products?
Many products claim to be green, but to ensure that they don’t have a negative impact on your physical and environmental health, keep an eye out for these labels:
- Sustainably manufactured
- Derived from natural resources
- Safe
- Non-toxic
- Made with biodegradable compounds
Since there are still limited regulations regarding the monitoring of ingredients in cleaning products and packaging—as well as a large variety of products to sort through—we’ve shortlisted some of the essentials you need in your home.
Better life all-purpose cleaner
This is a surface cleaner that’s made of recycled packaging and is ideal for cleaning all kinds of surfaces. It’s natural, organic, and budget-friendly. The founding fathers (literally) of this natural line of products appeared first on Shark Tank, and have since then created a whole range, including bath products.
DIY cleaning with natural products
If you have the time, make your own cleaning products with vinegar, lemon, and baking soda. Add some water in equal parts to a spray bottle, and you have your own all-purpose cleaner. However, it’s advisable to leave it for a week so it infuses thoroughly.
Toilet Flush sheets for odorless toilets at home, office, or in your RV

They contain enzymes that help break down waste and also reduce the amount of water and harmful cleaning chemicals that are needed while flushing.

4 Things to Avoid Flushing Down the Toilet
If only we could flush our problems down the toilet, right?
Unfortunately, we can’t. There are also other things that we can’t and shouldn’t be flushing down our toilets—but many of us are guilty of doing. This is apart from all the money that you flush away on expensive, harmful, chemical solvents for your toilet, that is.
A lot of the time, we dispose of everyday household items and daily use objects in our toilets as a way of getting rid of them. Some of these things include:
1. Tissues, wipes and paper towels
You may think that tissues, face or baby wipes, and paper towels are the same category as toilet paper, but their makeup is different. The materials vary significantly and don’t dissolve in water or disintegrate over time. Paper towels are also designed to absorb more water, making them hard to break down.
This leads to clogs in your toilet and sewer lines, as well as damage to your pipes. Your best bet for disposing of them is to toss them in the bin. You should not recycle these items either.
2. Cigarette butts
If you popped into the bathroom for a quick smoke during the day or snuck one hiding from your family or roommates—we’ve all had those moments—and decided to flush those cigarette butts down the toilet, hold that thought.
These butts contaminate the water with their toxic chemicals, pollutants, and the parts of them that don’t dissolve, such as the cotton filling. The trash can is where these belong.
3. Tampons, pads, and diapers
Menstrual products and diapers seem like they could be flushed, especially the former. Diapers are often too large to flush, and even attempting to flush one down has probably resulted in a few clogs or plumbing accidents, but pads and tampons are much smaller.
This is why people often flush them down without realizing the contamination and the fact that these items often contain cotton and other protective materials that allow them to be absorbent. They don’t dissolve and clog your tank, pipes, and drains, leading to problems in the long-run.
4. Condoms
Condoms are also a commonly-flushed item, but they are not designed to break down in the water at all. Latex and other materials are waterproof—and lord knows the trouble the world would be in if they weren’t—but this is exactly why it’s a bad idea to flush them.
You can dispose of them in various ways, especially if you’re concerned about the mess, or you share a residential bathroom and are worried about privacy.
A common feature of all of the above items is that none of them are designed to be dissolved in water. The materials they’re made of are waterproof or absorbent and thus don’t break down.
However, our rapid dissolving toilet flush sheets or flush sheets are designed to break down when flushed and release enzymes that break down your waste too. Get in touch with us to order toilet flush sheet that you can use without worrying about clogs and damage to your plumbing system!
How to Clean Your Toilet the Eco-Friendly Way
With an average of 6 lbs. of fecal matter produced per person, each week, households and public toilets alike require regular cleaning and maintenance to keep them up and running.
It’s crucial to have them cleaned not just for the aesthetics—because nobody likes walking in on a clogged toilet—but for hygiene and health purposes. As the COVID-19 outbreak has proved to us, bacteria that are on surfaces, or is airborne can contribute to the spread of disease; it’s essential that we practice better hygiene.
Cleaning toilets and bathrooms, in general, is a dreaded task for a lot of people, with siblings and roommates fighting over whose turn it is to do it, it’s definitely one of America’s most hated chores.
Regular toilet maintenance and cleaning can leave your plumbing system—and the environment—damaged from chemicals and toxins, however. Some eco-friendly tips and methods for cleaning your toilet include:
Investing in Trackless Flush Sheets™ (TFS)
Our products are designed for people on the go, perfect for public and shared toilets and travel purposes. Engineered to be safe and environmentally friendly, our sheets contain powerful enzymes that not only break down fecal matter but also get rid of clogs, grime, and bacteria.
They provide a convenient and environmentally safe alternative to repeated flushing and excessive washing and cleaning by getting rid of waste materials and preventing staining and marks in your toilet bowl. No more worrying about having access to a brush or any awkward and embarrassing stains.
It’s easier for others looking to use the toilet too!
These sheets are also ideal for those traveling in RVs because a commonly used chemical, formaldehyde, is incredibly toxic for animals and wildlife, leading to mutations and poisoning.
Minimize water usage
Pouring water into the toilet bowl or multiple flushes to get rid of stains is not only wasteful but also causes bacteria from the bowl to be released into the air. Particles, bacteria, and odors all rise due to this, and not to mention it’s a waste of water.
Instead, once you’ve used your cleaning solution, scrubbed down, or put your TFS, you only need to flush once. The sheets actively work to break down fecal matter and thus help unclog your drain and keep your toilet clean too.
Less water, more efficiency!
Lay off the chemicals and make essential oils your best friends
Chemicals such as the formaldehyde above and others including triclosan, chlorinated phenols, and HCL that are incredibly corrosive, toxic, and harmful not just to the environment but also children, pets, and your drains!
For your weekly toilet cleaning, you can use baking soda, vinegar, and other household products as well as essential oils to fight odors and bacteria.
Don’t flush your money down the drain with these expensive and harmful cleaning products. TFS will not only help you save in the long run, but they will also keep your toilet bowls looking fresher than ever!
