This cleaning spray gets top marks for scent, plus a round of applause for its ingredients and packaging. Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, its formula is completely plant-based and sustainable. The best part? It kills 99.9% of bacteria. We love to use it on our kitchen sides, but it's pretty much great for use anywhere in the home, especially since it leaves behind a delightfully sweet scent of rhubarb.

We're big fans of the OceanSaver brand. The idea is that you use an existing spray bottle, you pop one of these tablets in there and top the bottle with water. Wait for the tablet to dissolve into the water and give it a good shake. Then, you're good to go! Buy this starter pack which comes with everything from a kitchen degreaser, floor cleaner and an anti-bac solution – plus more. This makes it easy for you to try out them all.

Use this cleaning spray to refresh your upholstery and fabrics – and to make your home smell lovely. This entire bottle is made from recycled plastic, even the spray and trigger, and it's fragranced with essential oils. Use it to safely scent your home thanks to the fact this solution is free from dyes, propellant, phthalates and acetone. They come in a range of scents but this is by far our favourite, and let's not forget that Air Wick and WWF have partnered together to help restore Wildflower habitats in the UK.
