Start Here: Cleaning Essentials
Simple cleaning products to start with
Branch Basics Concentrate
This is what I use for most surfaces in my home. It replaces multiple cleaners, doesn't leave streaks, has no added fragrance, and is made with just five simple ingredients. It's the easiest place to start if you're looking to simplify your cleaning routine.

Force of Nature Cleaner
When I need a disinfectant, this is what I use. It does the job without the harsh bleach smell, and I don't have to worry about accidentally bleaching towels, clothes, or other surfaces.
MamaSuds Laundry Soap
Laundry touches your skin every day, so this was one of the first swaps I made. It cleans really well without the overpowering fragrance found in many conventional detergents. After switching, I immediately notice those strong scents.
What I look for
No fragrance or parfum (including “natural fragrance”)
No quats (look for ingredients like benzalkonium chloride
or cetrimonium chloride)
No harsh solvents (like 2-butoxyethanol, often found
in degreasers)
