All Purpose Cleaner
One and done. That’s the strategy behind most all-purpose cleaners that let you tackle messes and spills on a variety of surfaces with ease. Just don’t make the mistake of leaving your surfaces dirtier than when you started. Not all all-purpose cleaners are created equal—some use potentially harmful chemicals to give you those sought-after fresh countertops, only to leave behind ingredients you don’t want inside your home. At Thrive Market, we’ve done the dirty work for you, vetting and testing leading cleaners and only offering the ones that work without compromising the health of you and your family. We can’t promise your chore routine will be something you look forward to, but you can definitely breathe easy when you spray any of the top all-purpose cleaners we’re sharing with you below.
Top All-Purpose Cleaner Brands
These three brands will help your home get spick and span.
Dr. Bronner’s

Truce

Mrs. Meyer’s
Before Mrs. Meyer’s became a beloved cleaning brand, there was Thelma A. Meyer, a midwestern homemaker with nine children who didn’t want to clean her home with chemical-filled products and got to work formulating alternatives using her signature plant-based essential oils.
