As we step into 2025, sustainability continues to lead the way in how we live, shop, and even clean our homes. The focus this year is all about doing more with less—less waste, fewer harmful chemicals, and a lighter impact on the planet. But don’t worry—keeping your home clean sustainably doesn’t mean compromising on results or convenience. With the right approach and products, it’s easier than ever to maintain a spotless home while staying eco-friendly.
Here’s what’s in (and what’s out) for 2025 when it comes to cleaning sustainably.
What’s In: Refillable Cleaning Products
What’s Out: Single-Use Plastics
Wave goodbye to endless plastic bottles piling up in your recycling bin. Refillable cleaning products are officially the norm, and brands like Miniml are leading the charge. For example, our Multi-Surface Cleaner not only tackles grease and grime but also comes in refillable packaging. With our 1L and 5L refill options and free returns to get your packaging cleaned and reused again, you’ve got a cleaning solution that works for both your home and the environment.
Refilling isn’t just good for the planet—it’s good for your bank balance too. You’ll save money by reusing containers and purchasing refills in bulk.
What’s In: Plant-Based Cleaning Solutions
What’s Out: Harsh Chemicals
This year, it’s all about swapping out toxic chemicals for plant-based, biodegradable alternatives. Cleaning products made with natural ingredients are gentler on your skin, safer for your family, and better for the environment.
Miniml’s Wild Rhubarb Washing-Up Liquid is a perfect example. It’s tough on grease but made with eco-friendly ingredients that won’t harm waterways. Plus, it smells amazing— made with 100% natural essential oils it's like a little burst of summer every time you do the washing-up.
What’s In: Laundry That Loves the Planet
What’s Out: Microplastic Pollution
Your laundry routine might seem harmless, but traditional detergents and synthetic fabrics can contribute to microplastic pollution. In 2025, more households are switching to sustainable laundry options.
This Pink Dragonfruit & Orchid Laundry Liquid is a standout choice. It’s made with biodegradable ingredients, packaged in refillable containers, and smells absolutely divine. Pair it with a Guppyfriend Washing Bag to reduce microplastic shedding from synthetic clothes.
What’s In: Minimalist Cleaning Supplies
What’s Out: Overloaded Cupboards
Gone are the days of cluttered cleaning cupboards filled with a different product for every surface. In 2025, the trend is towards multipurpose cleaning solutions and a “less is more” mentality.
Miniml’s Multi-Surface Cleaner and White Vinegar Cleaner are all you need for a sparkling home. Add a set of reusable cloths, and you’re good to go—no need for wasteful kitchen roll or an overstock of sprays.
What’s In: Local and Ethical Brands
What’s Out: Mass-Produced, Carbon-Heavy Products
Supporting local, ethical brands that prioritise sustainability is a big trend this year. Miniml, for instance, is a UK-based company dedicated to creating zero-waste products that are kind to the planet. Furthermore, our sustainable manufacturing practices include 100% biodegradable formulations, natural fragrances, and our production powered completely by solar power!
By choosing local brands, you’re not just reducing the carbon footprint of your purchases—you’re supporting businesses that share your values.
What’s In: Closing the Loop
What’s Out: Wasteful Consumption
The circular economy is gaining momentum, and it’s not just about recycling—it’s about rethinking the entire lifecycle of a product. Miniml’s closed-loop refill system makes it easy to return your empty containers to be cleaned, refilled, and reused, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Sustainability Made Simple
Keeping your home clean sustainably in 2025 is all about making small, intentional changes that add up to a big difference. By choosing refillable, plant-based, and locally made products, you’re not just cleaning your home—you’re helping to clean up the planet too.
