When we think of spring cleaning, we usually imagine the satisfying results: sparkling windows, fresh sheets, and a clean kitchen counters. But for 30 years at Greenfibres, we’ve been asking a deeper question: What are you leaving behind in the pursuit of cleanliness?  Most conventional cleaning products rely on a cocktail of synthetic fragrances, optical brighteners, and harsh surfactants. While they might remove the visible dirt, they often leave an invisible chemical residue on your surfaces, in your air, and trapped within the fibres of your clothes and bedding.

Fake Freshness

That "laundry fresh” scent in traditional laundry detergent isn't natural at all, instead it's a complex synthetic fragrance designed to cling to fabrics.  For people with sensitive skin or respiratory issues, these chemicals can be constant irritants.
Your skin is your largest organ, and can absorb what touches it.  This means when your towels and underwear are coated in synthetic enzymes and artificial softeners, your body is having to process those toxins.  A true spring detox starts with clearing these irritants out of your home.

The natural way 

To help our community create healthier homes, we stock Sonett, pioneers in ecological cleaning since 1977. Their philosophy mirrors our own: integrity, kindness to people and kindness to our planet. 

Why we recommend Sonett for your spring cleaning: 

  • 100% Biodegradable: Unlike "greenwashed" supermarket brands, Sonett products break down completely into natural components within hours or days of entering the water system.
  • Skin friendly: By using plant-based soaps (like olive and rapeseed oil) rather than petroleum-derived surfactants, and banning synthetic fragrances, Sonett is exceptionally gentle. It’s the perfect choice for families, allergy sufferers, and those with chemical sensitivities.
  • No hidden toxins: There are no enzymes, no optical brighteners, and no synthetic preservatives. Whether it’s the natural citric acid in their descaler or the organic lavender oil in their laundry liquid, these products work effectively without the need for toxic warnings on the bottle.

3-steps to get started with natural cleaning:  

If you’re curious about making the switch over to natural and non-toxic cleaning, but you’re not convinced how effective they’re going to be, then here’s our top 3 favourites to try out first: 

  • Naturally clean laundry: Next time your bedding needs a wash, use sonett laundry liquid.  This removes the build-up of old synthetic detergents,  cleans your linens, and allows the natural organic fibres of your duvets and sheets to finally breathe again.  Enjoy sleeping on toxin free sheets again!
  • The surface cleanser: Use the Sonett all-purpose cleanser on your kitchen counters, bedside tables and bookshelves.  The natural fragrance from essential oils means you’re no longer breathing in fake fumes in your home.  Extra tough grime to clean away?  The orange power cleaner will make short work of even the toughest dirt, without toxins that you want to avoid. 
  • Skin friendly washing up: If you get dry hands from washing up, then swap harsh washing up liquid for sonett dishwashing liquid. It’s tough on grease but so gentle on your hands that you’ll notice a difference almost instantly.
