How to Reduce Plastic in Your Cleaning Routine (Without Trying Too Hard)

Posted on

Cutting down on plastic can feel like a whole thing. Like you need to toss everything you own and suddenly become a zero-waste wizard overnight. (Hard pass.)

Good news: you don’t have to do it all at once. Just start somewhere that fits into your routine, and stick with it. That’s where the magic happens. 

An easy win? Your everyday cleaning products. Think dishes, laundry, all the stuff you’re already using on repeat. Swap a few of those out, and boom, you’re making a real impact without overthinking it. Simple, doable, and way less intimidating.
