Household Supplies
Household supplies are the unsung heroes of domestic life. You never fully appreciate dinnerware, toilet paper, garbage bags, and other household staples until that fateful moment you need them but realize you forgot to buy more.
Greener Homes for the Win
Who says disposable household products can’t be sustainable, or that insect repellent is a call to Poison Control waiting to happen? Organic, natural, healthy: That’s our inventory of household wares in three words. Here are some other words that describe our household supplies:
- Biodegradable
- BPA-free
- Cruelty-free
- Nontoxic
- Paraben-free
- Phthalate-free
- SLS-free
- FSC certified
Top Household Supplies Brands
They’re all fantastic, but here are a few of the best brands to check out first:

If it’s safe and sustainable tableware you need, look no further than Repurpose. The brand’s plant-based, petroleum-free dinnerware is safe for your family and easy on the environment. Repurpose’s entire line of products is durable, non-toxic, and BPA-free.
Seventh Generation
Seventh Generation’s products clean up your messes without creating a new mess somewhere else. The Burlington, Vermont-based line of household and personal care products uses plant-based ingredients and recycled packaging to minimize environmental impact. No synthetic dyes, no artificial fragrances, and hypoallergenic ingredients make for a product line that’s gentle on you but tough on messes.
Three Bluebirds
Who knew reusable dish cloths could be eco-friendly and whimsical? Three Bluebirds did. Just one of the Connecticut-based company’s biodegradable, reusable cloths can replace 17 rolls of paper towels.
