Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products and Office Supplies That Do the Job (Without Trashing the Planet)
Earth Day is here, which means it’s time for the annual ritual of looking around your office or home and thinking, Wow, this place could use a deep clean… and maybe a little less environmental guilt.
Lucky for you, we’re not here to make you feel bad about your plastic use or to suggest that you compost everything but your dreams. We’re here to help you make some low-effort, high-impact swaps that’ll keep your space sparkling and save the planet a little wear and tear along the way.
So whether you’re scrubbing your countertops, loading the dishwasher, or printing off the fiftieth version of that “final” presentation, you can do it all without wondering if you’re slowly melting the polar ice caps.
Here are a few of our favorite eco-friendly cleaning and office supplies that help you live your most responsible life – without sacrificing results, convenience, or your nose hairs.
Seventh Generation All-Purpose Cleaner
This plant-based powerhouse is tough on grease, grime, and whatever that sticky mystery substance is on your kitchen counter (we don’t judge). With zero fragrances, dyes, or harsh fumes, it gets the job done without making your whole house smell like “Industrial Pine-Fresh Chemical Blast.”
Perfect for your home, office, or whatever weird hybrid space you’ve got going on since remote work took over your life. Plus, you get a whole bunch in a carton, which means you’ll run out sometime around the next solar eclipse.
Use it on countertops, appliances, cabinets, and anything else your toddler or coworker touches with unwashed hands.
Seventh Generation Dishwasher Powder
If you’re still washing your dishes with something that looks and smells like glow-in-the-dark candy, we need to talk. This unscented dishwasher powder is chlorine-bleach-free, phosphate-free, and designed to tackle stuck-on food using plant-based enzymes – science and nature, together at last.
It’s basically the dishwasher whisperer. Gets your plates so clean you’ll forget they were once the landing pad for that sad frozen lasagna.
And again – no fake lemon, no “morning meadow” scent that smells suspiciously like your neighbor’s laundry vent. Just clean, scent-free results that you’ll quietly admire when you open the dishwasher door like it’s a curtain reveal on a game show.
Domtar EarthChoice Office Paper
We know what you’re thinking: Paper? For Earth Day? Shouldn’t I be swearing off paper forever?
Not if you’re using the good stuff.
Domtar’s EarthChoice is made with sustainability top of mind. It gives you that crisp, clean print quality you need for reports, presentations, or passive-aggressive notes about breakroom etiquette—all without sacrificing performance or planet-friendliness.
It works beautifully in all your machines and has curl control, which sounds like a haircare claim but is actually great news for your printer. And because it’s jam-free, you won’t need to rage-pull a crumpled ream from the tray while questioning your life choices.
Sustainability? Yes. Dependability? Also yes. Sacrificing quality? Absolutely not.
Green Rabbit Snacks
What does Earth Day have to do with snacks? Everything. Especially when you’re trying to power through a spring cleaning session or a quarterly review without diving headfirst into a bag of artificially flavored regret.
Green Rabbit delivers responsibly sourced, delicious snacks – so you can treat yourself without trashing your gut or the environment. From organic sweets to sustainable packaging, they’ve nailed the whole “indulgence without compromise” thing.
Need an Earth Day morale boost? Grab a handful of Green Rabbit goodies between tasks. It’s the fuel your eco-conscious cleaning spree deserves.
Why These Swaps Matter (And Don’t Worry, You Don’t Need to Hug a Tree About It)
We’re not saying you need to go full off-grid, make your own deodorant, and trade your vacuum for a broom made of twigs. We’re saying that every little choice – like using plant-based cleaners or choosing sustainably made paper – adds up. It’s the small stuff that makes a difference, and you don’t need to overhaul your entire lifestyle to start making smarter choices today.
Think of these swaps as the low-hanging compostable fruit of Earth Day. Easy wins. No extra effort required.
You’re already buying cleaning supplies and office paper, why not buy stuff that doesn’t punch the planet in the face?
Quick Tips for Greening Your Routine Without Losing Your Mind
- Go unscented: Your nose (and everyone else’s) will thank you. Fake “ocean breeze” is not real, and we all know it.
- Buy in bulk: Not only do you reduce packaging waste, but you save future-you from that emergency Target run when you’re out of everything at once. Additionally, buying in bulk on average makes the cost per item less so in the long run you will be saving money!
- Use it all up: Finish what you’ve got before jumping ship to the greener product, because waste is still waste, even if it’s got a lavender label.
- Snacks count: Eco-friendly eating is just as important as what you’re scrubbing your counters with. Stock your breakroom with Green Rabbit and enjoy snacks that give back.
- Celebrate small wins: Swapped one cleaner? Upgraded your office paper? That’s a solid start. No one becomes an environmental superhero overnight.
