Sustainable cleaning and sanitation
Sustainable cleaning is becoming increasingly important. Not only for the environment, but also for our health. Traditional cleaning products often contain aggressive chemicals that can be harmful to nature and our living environment.
Fortunately, there are more and more eco-friendly alternatives available. In this blog, you will read all about sustainable cleaning, with a focus on Ecolabel cleaning products, other labels and how SuperCleaners contributes to a greener future.
What is sustainable cleaning?
Sustainable cleaning is an eco-friendly way of cleaning where you consciously choose products and methods that are less harmful to the environment and health. This means using biodegradable cleaning agents without harmful chemicals, keeping the air, water and soil cleaner.
Sustainable cleaning is also about saving water and energy, reducing plastic waste and using reusable cleaning materials such as microfibre cloths. By cleaning more consciously, you reduce your ecological footprint and contribute to a healthier environment, without compromising on effectiveness and hygiene.
How do you recognise sustainable cleaning products?
Sustainable cleaning products can be recognised by labels. These labels guarantee that the product is eco-friendly and contains biodegradable ingredients. In addition, sustainable cleaning products often have recyclable packaging and are free of harmful chemicals such as chlorine and phosphates. Also check if the product is concentrated, so you need less and produce less packaging waste.

Ecolabel cleaning products
Ecolabelled cleaning products are cleaning products that meet strict environmental standards. They contain fewer harmful chemicals and are better for both people and the environment. These cleaning products reduce water pollution, are biodegradable and have less impact on nature.
An eco-label is an official seal awarded to products that are environmentally friendly. Well-known eco-labels such as the EU Ecolabel and Nordic Swan Ecolabel guarantee that a product contains fewer harmful substances and has been produced more sustainably.
To obtain an eco-label, a product must meet specific criteria, such as:
- Use of biodegradable ingredients.
- Low environmental impact during production and use.
- Recyclable or reusable packaging.
- Limitation of harmful substances such as phosphates and chlorine.
Products are tested and certified by independent bodies before they are allowed to carry an eco-label.
