Natural cleaning products continue to rise in popularity as families search for ways to reduce chemicals in the home. Artificial fragrances, dyes and other harsh chemicals are out; plant-based ingredients are in.

But what if you still want your bathroom really clean? After all, bathrooms have unique challenges – like mould, soap scum and and toilet odours! – that require some heavy lifting.

The good news is, you can clean more naturally in the bathroom and still get great results. Read on to find out how.

Natural Selection: making smart swaps in the supermarket

You don’t have to go totally off the grid in order to level up your low tox game. The cleaning aisle of your local supermarket is a great place to begin to discover better options for you and your family.

Bosisto’s cleaning range, for example, is plant based and naturally-derived – it harnesses the power of natural Australian eucalyptus oil grown in Inglewood, Victoria to get great results without harmful chemicals.

Bosisto’s Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is specifically geared to tackle soap scum and removes mould stains without bleach, leaving surfaces sparkling.

For a streak-free finish on mirrors and shower screens, try Bosisto’s Glass Cleaner. It leaves them sparkling and fresh – and like the rest of the range, is septic system friendly.

From bathrooms to kitchen, you can clean every room of your home with Bosisto’s Aussie owned products: there’s a Multipurpose Cleaner, Floor Cleaner, Dishwashing Liquid and Dishwashing Capsules, available online or in stores.

Harness the power of essential oils

Want an “extra” fresh bathroom? Nature’s already provided the perfect solution – essential oils. These powerhouse natural compounds have inbuilt cleaning, freshening and deodorizing powers and are especially good if you’re keen to avoid artificial fragrances and synthetic cleaners.

You can use essential oils in your bathroom in dozens of ways: here are just some of our favourites.

• Clean toilets using 2 capfuls of Bosisto’s Eucalyptus Solution. Add to toilet bowl, agitate and scrub all surfaces thoroughly before flushing.
  
  
• Clean bathroom vanity with Bosisto’s Eucalyptus Solution neat on a slightly damp cloth: it’s fantastic for whisking away foundation and makeup stains!
  
  
• Freshen bathroom odours with Bosisto’s Lavender Oil. Try a few drops on the cardboard inside of your toilet roll, or put some on a cotton ball and place it at the bottom of the bathroom bin. You can add two capfuls to the laundry to wash when you do a load of towels too, for extra Lavender scented goodness!
