5 Ways to Use Our ECOS All-Purpose Cleaner That You Haven’t Tried Yet

4 minute read

Our plant-powered ECOS All-Purpose Cleaner is an easy way to maintain a mindful cleaning routine at home because you can use it with confidence on countertops, tile, and appliances, knowing that its formula—made with several plant-derived ingredients and certified by U.S. EPA Safer Choice—is a thoughtful choice for your family.

But the true magic of a great multi-purpose cleaner lies in its hidden versatility. We want to help you simplify your cleaning routine even more and reduce the need to keep ten different bottles around.

Here you’ll discover 5 ways to use your ECOS All-Purpose Cleaner that may not have crossed your mind:

1. 🎒 Clean bags, backpacks, and luggage (exterior surfaces)

The handles, bases, and sides of bags, backpacks, and luggage are in constant contact with hands, floors, and public transportation, allowing dirt and stains to build up.

  • The trick. Apply our All-Purpose Cleaner to a microfiber cloth—never directly onto the item—especially if it is made of mixed materials.
  • The action. Gently clean washable exterior areas and remove any excess with a slightly damp cloth. Remember to test in a discreet area first!

2. 🪑 Refresh outdoor furniture and shared-use items

Balcony, patio, and garden tables and chairs easily collect dust, pollen, and urban grime. Even when they do not look visibly dirty, these residues can dull their appearance and overall freshness.

  • The trick. Spray our All-Purpose Cleaner directly onto the surface or onto a microfiber cloth. It is ideal for materials such as plastic, resin, or painted metal.
  • The action. Wipe with gentle motions to remove built-up dirt. If needed, rinse with water and allow to air dry. Its plant-derived formula helps keep these spaces clean between deeper cleanings—without relying on harsher products. Easy and quick!

3. 🚗 Refresh Your Car Interior (and Treat Light Upholstery Stains)

Car upholstery, dashboards, and cup holders collect dust, spills, and stubborn grime.

  • The trick. Spray our All-Purpose Cleaner onto a microfiber cloth. Use it to clean the dashboard, steering wheel, and door interiors.
  • The action. If you have a coffee or mud stain on the upholstery, apply a small amount directly on the stain, rub with the cloth, and then use a damp cloth with water only to “rinse” and lift the residue. Its gentle formula helps you clean without strong vapors in a small space.

4. 👟 Revitalize White Sneakers and Rubber Soles

White sneakers look great until dirt gets embedded in textured rubber soles.

  • The trick. Spray the cleaner directly on the rubber sole or toe cap.
  • The action. Let sit for one minute. Then use a stiff-bristled brush (a nail brush or old toothbrush works well) and scrub vigorously. You’ll see the dirt lift without damaging the material. It’s a quick way to refresh your shoes before heading out the door.

5. 🖼️ Clean Frames, Light Switches, and High-Touch Areas (Without Residue!)

These spots collect fingerprints, dust, makeup, and even lotion residue—yet we often overlook them because they don’t look obviously dirty. As a result, they can appear dull and become high-touch areas that benefit from regular cleaning.

  • The trick. Spray our All-Purpose Cleaner onto a microfiber cloth (never directly on a switch). Use it to clean:
  • Light switches
  • Door frames
  • Trim and molding
  • Remote controls
  • Railings
  • Handles and knobs
  • The action. Wipe gently to remove fingerprints, accumulated oils, and invisible buildup. The plant-derived formula cleans without leaving a sticky residue, so these surfaces stay fresh longer with a natural matte finish. This trick is great for keeping your home feeling more cared for—especially in households with children. And the best part: no extra products needed.

Safe Use Tips

  • Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area before using it for the first time.

  • Do not mix with other cleaning products.
  • Always follow the instructions on the label.
