The sun is shining, we are in a good mood and full of energy: the ideal moment for spring cleaning! Nothing stops us from cleaning our entire house completely, right? Well, not exactly…
With chemical cleaning products our house looks clean, but the toxic ingredients actually contribute to indoor pollution. Luckily there is an increasing number of ecological and natural alternatives that clean both the surfaces and keep the air indoor healthy. Discover more environmentally friendly cleaning products as an alternative to chemical cleaning products with COSH!

Handmade, plastic-free soap and shampoo bars from Amsterdam
Spring cleaning does not stop at your countertops. What about the products you use on your body every day? Nature Bar is an Amsterdam-based brand that makes 100% natural, handmade soap and shampoo bars without plastic packaging. Founded by Marlies van Heusden after witnessing the scale of plastic waste during a trip through Latin America, Nature Bar is built on a simple but powerful idea: small consumer choices add up.
What sets Nature Bar apart is its commitment to circular ingredients. Every bar contains a by-product from a local business, such as orange peel from a nearby juice bar or coffee grounds from a local roaster, giving waste materials a new purpose and reducing the need for virgin raw materials. The soaps are free from mineral oils, microplastics, silicones, parabens, sulfates, and palm oil, and are fully biodegradable. Packaging is compostable and FSC-certified, printed with soy ink. No plastic, anywhere.

Circular cleaning products from Amsterdam
Do you know Boavista Circular? This Amsterdam brand is committed to making more environmentally friendly cleaning products by giving waste a second life.

In addition, the cleaning products are made in a social and fairer way by small-scale production workshops in Brazil, for example.
