Hi Dorie – yes that article is correct in that many of these terms don’t mean a whole lot. You can check out my article on greenwashing here: https://www.thehealthymaven.com/what-is-greenwashing/

As for which companies to trust – sadly the burden falls on consumers to research and learn which ingredients to avoid and not to just trust what it says on the front of the bottle. Part of the reason I love branch basics is because I’m personally comfortable with the ingredients they use which remain the same across all of their products because it’s a concentrate. Hope this helps!

It is so hard to know if a company is being honest with how “natural” their products are. This article pretty much called out companies and how they can loosely use the word natural, clean and green. https://www.ez.insure/landing/2020/11/clean-green-and-natural-products/ What are your thoughts? Which companies can you actually trust?!

No way!! Thanks for bringing it to my attention! I normally get the baby detergent from Whole Foods but recently switched to Babyganics b/c it’s on Amazon but will definitely go back to the one from Whole Foods. Thanks for letting me know. Definitely check out Branch Basics – they’re awesome!

Love this list, as I’ve never heard of Branch Basics! Just wanted to mention to you that Babyganics laundry detergent sadly gets an “F” on EWG. I know, I’m shocked myself, because I use and love their sunscreen. Anyway, just sharing the knowledge 🙂 https://www.ewg.org/guides/cleaners/5003-Babyganics3xLaundryDetergentFragranceFree

It is a very good idea to add citrus peels to the DIY cleanser! The smell of citrus would make me feel happy.
Thanks for the inspiring post!

HIII! So this is super helpful because I’ve been thinking about giving Branch Basics a try. I’ve been using Method for a lot of countertop sprays lately, but haven’t checked the EWG yet. And the velcro on the swiffer is genius! Definitely going to switch to that too. I made an all-purpose cleaner with pure castile soap from Dr. Bronners, but I do still wonder if it works, lol.
