Getting out kiddie stains (think pen marks, mud smears, food dribbles) is no easy task.

And most moms and dads resort to heavy duty cleaning products filled with harsh chemicals to do the hard work.

But what if there was an eco-friendly alternative?

Using a blend of botanicals and herbs, Vaska‘s collection of all-natural detergents ($7 – $10) is up for the job.

Not only will they make your family’s clothes sparkle, but they also don’t leave behind harmful residue that will irritate their skin.

It also breaks down quickly to non-polluting compounds in both fresh and salt water, which means it’s good for the planet too.

No one wants harmful chemicals near their family.

That’s why it’s key to find eco-friendly cleaning products that will do the job without using the nasty stuff.

In honor of Earth Day (April 22), we rounded up our fave green cleaners. Check them out below.

The Ionator HOM from Active Ion ($179) cleans using the power of… water!

When the trigger is pressed, a slight electrical charge is applied to the sprayed tap water, which creates electrically charged nanobubbles that attach themselves to dirt particles (think magnets) and help to easily wipe the dirt away.
