Published 27 January 2026 | 7 min read
A clean home shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. Many traditional cleaning products rely on harsh chemicals, excessive packaging, and single-use plastics that contribute to waste and indoor pollution. The good news is that keeping your home fresh, safe, and sparkling doesn’t require compromise.
At mimro, we believe smart cleaning is all about choosing solutions that are effective, sustainable, and simple to incorporate into everyday life. With eco-friendly swaps from Tru Earth, Myni, and Earthly Change, you can maintain a spotless home while reducing waste and protecting the environment.
Laundry That Leaves No Trace
Brand Spotlight: Tru Earth
Laundry day often produces a lot of plastic waste from detergent bottles and containers. Tru Earth has reinvented this routine with ultra-concentrated, pre-measured laundry strips that clean effectively while cutting out packaging waste.
These strips dissolve completely in both hot and cold water, leaving clothes fresh and soft without the chemical overload. They’re also travel-friendly, compact, and simple to use, an easy swap that makes every wash a sustainable one.
Why it works:
-
Pre-measured, zero-waste laundry strips
-
Free from parabens, phosphates, and harsh chemicals
-
Compact and travel-friendly for convenience
With Tru Earth, laundry becomes an everyday action that’s gentle on the planet and your wardrobe.
Refillable Cleaners That Work Hard
Brand Spotlight: Myni
Cleaning doesn’t have to mean endless plastic bottles and synthetic chemicals. Myni offers plant-based cleaning tablets that dissolve in water to create powerful sprays and dish soaps.
Each tablet comes in plastic-free packaging, making it easy to refill and reuse bottles rather than buy new ones. The result is a low-waste, high-performance cleaning routine that protects both your home and the environment.
Why it works:
-
Refillable cleaning tablets that reduce single-use plastic
-
Naturally derived ingredients are safe for people and pets
-
Simple, effective, and low-waste
Small swaps like these make daily chores feel intentional rather than burdensome.

A truly eco-friendly home isn’t about perfection; it’s about smart swaps that align with your values. Focus on small, practical changes like using Tru Earth laundry strips, Myni refillable cleaners, and Earthly Change storage solutions. Over time, these everyday choices accumulate, reducing waste, chemical exposure, and plastic use, all while keeping your home fresh and inviting.
