<p>Better for you, better for the planet. That’s the kind of motto you want to adopt when seeking out eco-friendly cleaning supplies, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/beauty" target="_blank">beauty products</a>, and pet supplies. Relatively lax government regulations mean companies aren’t required to declare every ingredient that goes into their products, so it’s important to be extra vigilant to find options made without harsh chemicals. At Thrive Market, brands have to meet high standards and <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/all-values" target="_blank">fit certain values</a> to land on our (online) shelves. One value that’s often front and center is biodegradable. When you see the biodegradable label, that means that the product will break down quickly without harming people or the environment, making it a win-win for both your home and the planet.</p>
<h2>Popular Biodegradable Ingredients</h2>

<p>Whether you’re making DIY sprays and soaps or shopping for a packaged product, be on the lookout for these popular biodegradable ingredients that will help keep your home squeaky clean, sans toxins. </p><br>
<ul>
<li><strong>Baking soda:</strong> This popular baking ingredient moonlights as a cleaning agent and works especially well on areas that need a tough scrub. </li>
<li><strong>Apple cider vinegar:</strong> Mixed with water, ACV can be used for all sorts of household chores  like getting rid of soap scum and grease and deodorizing rooms.</li>
<li><strong>Salt:</strong> For really tough cleaning projects (like the inside of your oven door), look to salt. Its abrasive texture works wonders when combined<a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-baking-soda" target="_blank">with baking soda</a>.</li></ul>
<h2>Top Biodegradable Brands</h2>
