Most household cleaning brands use harsh chemicals to eat away dirt and stains. Unfortunately, these chemicals can be hazardous to your family’s health. They can damage your lungs and get onto your skin, often leaving behind residue that lasts long after you’re finished cleaning.
Our cleaners use safer ingredients, like natural solvents and enzymes that effectively dissolve and rinse away dirt. In fact, every EcoSense home cleaning, laundry, and dish cleaning product is designed to be safer, effective, affordable, and eco-friendly.
We view home cleaning as an integral part of wellness! That’s why EcoSense products use safer, biodegradable ingredients, and naturally effective cleaners and enzymes instead of harsh chemicals.
Many “green” cleaning products sacrifice effective cleaning for safer ingredients. Not true with EcoSense! Our products are rigorously tested to have exceptional performance - and will outperform the competition.
Home cleaning products often have unnecessary fillers and water, and use far more plastic than is needed. When possible, we concentrate our products, which means you don’t pay for excess water and we don’t ship it. This helps reduce transportation emissions and plastic waste by millions of pounds every year.
More cleaning for less money! We offer reusable spray bottles, with super-concentrated formulas that avoid unnecessary fillers and excess water. That means you only pay for what actually matters and you get a lower cost per use.

Most EcoSense products are concentrated, which means we ditch the unnecessary fillers and include only the good stuff in our formulas. Most national brands use way too much water to fill their bigger bottles, which use way too much plastic. That means you end up paying more for a product that’s mostly just water. We don’t believe in shipping unnecessary amounts of filler-water. Our super-concentrated household cleaners, for example, come with enough concentrate to make multiple spray bottles - all you need to do is add water!
By concentrating our products, we can reduce the size of everything in the supply chain. Less storage, fewer storage tanks, fewer trucks, fewer trips, less cardboard used in shipping boxes, decreased fuel to ship the products, dramatically less greenhouse emissions, and, most of all, less virgin plastic is used in the first place.
Here’s what you need to know to make the most of our concentrated cleaners:
Fill your mixing spray bottle with concentrate to the directed concentrate line on the side of the bottle (2x, 4x, 12x).
Fill the spray bottle with tap water until it reaches the fill line.
When it’s gone, simply repeat these steps reusing the same spray bottle.
