The Ultimate Guide to Cruelty-Free Cleaning Products

Posted on Wednesday - March 18, 2020 by Tashina Combs & Last updated on Monday - September 7, 2020 23 Comments

The Ultimate Guide to Cruelty-Free Cleaning Products

Looking for cruelty-free cleaning products? This guide has you covered! Logical Harmony helps make cruelty-free easy!

So many people ask for help when it comes to cruelty-free cleaning products. When it comes to keeping your home clean, a lot of us grow up with a lot of brand loyalty. We grow up seeing our parents buy specific brands and once we’re out on our own, most people continue to buy those same brands. A lot of people also don’t realize that cleaning products are often tested on animals. It can be one of the last cruelty-free swaps people make.

Thankfully, it’s now easier than ever to find cruelty-free cleaning options. No matter what you’re looking to replace there are easy swaps. So whether that’s dishwasher soap, a good all-purpose cleaner, laundry soap, specialty cleaners, glass cleaner, or other options, this list has you covered.

Some of the best-selling cruelty-free cleaning products are:

    Another market to add to this list is Sprouts. They’re like a mini Whole Foods but sell a lot of the same products for a cheaper price. They have locations in California only so far, but hopefully the will have more stores in other US states.

    What about Mrs. Meyers? I thought they were cruelty free? Possibly vegan?

      Hi Yesenia!

      Mrs. Meyers is cruelty free, but they are owned by a brand who tests on animals. 🙁 I have decided to not add brands with parent companies who tests to these lists because there are so many cruelty free brands who aren’t owned by a company who tests. Logical Harmony would rather support those brands. 🙂

    Do you happen to know if Seventh Generation only recently got their Leaping Bunny certification? I was really weirded out at the store recently when I looked at multiple products of theirs–some had the Leaping Bunny symbol and some didn’t.

    Btw, I absolutely LOVE Biokleen!

      I don’t believe it is recent. It’s not uncommon for symbols to not appear on packaging though, so I wouldn’t let it worry you. 🙂

    I would definitely love to see this list become more expanded – maybe after some time. Currently I’m trying to find vegan equivalents for Febreeze spray, Jet Dry and Vacuum rug cleaning powder.

      Yes! I am hoping that it can expand too. If there are any brands you are curious about, please let me know. 🙂

    I’m a Method junkie! I prefer to not worry about label reading, so I always default to Method since it’s 100% vegan. Which Dr. Bronner’s soaps aren’t vegan?

    For some reason, I’d always been under the impression that Seventh Generation was owned by a parent company that isn’t cruelty-free. Glad to see that isn’t the case!

    • Tashina Combs says

      Sunday - March 22, 2015 at 3:08 pm

      The Dr. Bronner’s soaps are vegan, but they have other products that contain animal ingredients. I didn’t want to mislead people who may buy other items thinking the brand is a vegan brand 🙂 Seventh Generation is another great options!

          Most of them are available all over! Aside from the Whole Foods house brand, all others are available from many small and mass retailers as well as many online stores. Target, Trader Joe’s, Amazon, Vitacost… They are available in lots of places! It’s awesome!

    I use Method and Seventh Gen all the time, love them! I started using them when I got my apartment in college and I don’t think I’ll stop anytime soon 🙂
