3 zero-waste brands for a squeaky-clean rental!
Discover our top 3 zero-waste brands for a rental that's cleaner than ever!
Want a spotless rental while polluting as little as possible? We've got 3 lovely brands to suggest!
Danika naturel
Danika is a transparent brand offering natural, biodegradable products. They have plenty of products on offer, such as natural laundry detergents you make yourself, floor cleaners and washing-up soaps.
What sparked the creation of the brand? The make-up of shop-bought detergents: far too harsh and, because they aren't fully treated at wastewater plants, they end up polluting rivers and harming biodiversity.
Lopa
LOPA stands for Love Our Planet Again. And to that end, the brand offers a sachet of powder so you can make your own shower gel.
Thanks to LOPA, you can offer your guests zero-waste shower gels!
Iris Hantverk
This lovely Swedish brand combines pared-back design with top-quality brushes. The best part? They're made by blind craftspeople following classic Swedish tradition.
You'll find brushes for every purpose: washing-up, food, bathing and more. They're guaranteed to turn heads in your place! Do you know of any other zero-waste brands? If so, let us know in the comments!

Frequently asked questions
Can zero waste products really keep up with a rental property ? The three brands mentioned here cover the bulk of everyday cleaning : floors, dishes, laundry, showers. Danika offers floor cleaners, natural laundry detergents you make yourself and dish soaps. Try them over one turnover before you switch your whole stock.
Why avoid supermarket laundry detergents ? That is exactly what led to Danika being created : a formula that is too harsh. These detergents are not fully treated in wastewater plants, they end up in rivers and affect biodiversity. A natural detergent you mix yourself solves the problem at the source.
How do I offer guests a plastic free shower gel ? LOPA, short for Love Our Planet Again, sells a sachet of powder you use to make your own shower gel. You can therefore offer guests a zero waste shower gel, with no disposable bottle in the bathroom. That is the kind of detail a guest notices and talks about.
What is special about Iris Hantverk brushes ? This Swedish brand relies on clean design and very high quality brushes. They are made by blind craftspeople, following the classic Swedish tradition. There is one for every use : dishes, food, bath.
Where do I start if I want a greener rental ? Start with one area, not the whole property. Cleaning is the easiest to change : one detergent, one dish soap, one shower gel, and you have already removed several bottles per season. We have a dedicated article to go further and set up an eco friendly rental.
