8 all-natural cleaning hacks that will change your life

Unless you can afford to hire help regularly, cleaning is never an easy chore. Not only is it expensive, but it's a time-consuming, sweat-inducing production. Seriously, scrubbing the bathroom floor puts most of our other workouts to shame.

And not to add fuel to the fire, but the cleaning products sitting under your sink right now are most likely packed with toxins that have been linked to respiratory issues, environmental harm and, yes, even cancer, according to the EWG.

And whereas it may cost an arm and a leg for safer and natural cleaning products (but why?!), there are a myriad of ways to find nontoxic cleaning brands that are not only affordable but versatile as well. We spoke with Alex Crane and Chu-Min Lee, who both oversee product development at Grove Collaborative, for their biggest household cleaning tips and tricks.

The subscription service is beloved by consumers looking for a sustainable and nontoxic lifestyle (they just launched a wellness section!) so, it's safe to say we're in safe hands. We repeat.

Scroll through above for Crane and Lee's biggest tips, from laundry hacks to bathroom tips to even pest control!
