When it comes to household cleaners, we always feel like it’s a game of choosing the lesser evil. “All-natural?” Um…sure, whatever that means. Bleach? If we’re desperate. The dream: a line of products with safe ingredients you can pronounce, that actually gets the job done.
It turns out such a thing exists, and it’s called 9 Elements.
The new cleaning brand was founded by two female engineers who wanted products that are safe for families, kids and the environment. (Same.) So, they took a tried-and-true vinegar-based formula and expanded on it. The result? A cleaning line with no artificial preservatives, dyes or thickeners—and no more than nine ingredients per product. (We only made up the phrase “more is more” to help us sleep at night anyway).
The current lineup includes three essentials—laundry detergent, laundry rinse and bathroom cleaner—in fresh scents like lemon, rose, lavender and rosemary. And while the formulas are simple, they’re also designed to work. (Goodbye forever, husband’s leftover toothpaste sink gunk.)
