  1. Less is More! 

Imagine saying goodbye to that mountain of cleaning bottles under your sink. ECOS All-Purpose Cleaner is your go-to helper; it cleans  bathrooms, kitchens, and even mysterious sauce stains from your latest dinner party.

  1. Laundry Day Made Easy

Small spaces require smart solutions, like ECOS Laundry Sheets, which tuck neatly into any corner and help keep your clothes spotless—even after those inevitable coffee spills in the morning rush.

  1. Fewer Products, Less Clutter

We’ve all been there: one day you have five products, the next day, twenty. Avoid clutter by using multi-purpose solutions like ECOS Dish Soap, perfect for dishes, stubborn stains, countertops, and even your favorite coffee mug used in endless virtual meetings.

  1. Get Creative with Recycling

Set up fun, user-friendly recycling areas in your home. Reuse glass jars as decorative storage containers, and organize recyclables in small bins labeled with fun images. Your guests will want to copy your style!

  1. One Product, Many Surfaces

Who needs ten different products? ECOS Window Cleaner simplifies cleaning mirrors, windows, and  laminate countertops, or granite and porcelain surfaces without the hassle. Say goodbye to product overload under the sink!

A few houseplants can instantly upgrade your apartment. Keep the leaves fresh and clean by lightly wiping them with diluted ECOS Organic Fruit + Veggie Wash. Happy plants mean a cheerful apartment!

  1. Give Containers a Second Chance

Repurpose glass containers as candle holders, organizers, or small flower vases. Collapsible boxes are also great for organizing recyclables, helping you maximize every bit of space.

Tiny bathroom and surprise visitors? Keep a small basket stocked with ECOS Bathroom Cleaner, reusable cloths, and a compact scrub brush. Five minutes is all you need to impress even your toughest critic.

Maintain your furniture and sofa looking great with ECOS Furniture Cleaner + Polish. Bonus tip: choose furniture with hidden storage spaces to quickly hide unexpected clutter.

  1. Happy Home for You and Your Pet

If you share your home with pets, use pet-friendly products like ECOS Pet Stain & Odor Remover for floors and surfaces. Use washable mats and create a special area for toys. Less chaos means more playtime with your furry friend!
