Cleanomic
Sustainable alternatives to everyday products.
The story
Cleanomic makes sustainable swaps for the stuff you use up and throw away every week — trash bags, laundry detergent, surface cleaners. The pitch is simple: products that work like the conventional versions but skip the single-use plastic. Their compostable bags carry actual BPI certification (third-party verified to ASTM D6400 standards), and they're upfront that these require industrial composting facilities, not your backyard bin. That honesty is refreshing in a category full of vague "eco-friendly" claims. The product line covers about 30 SKUs across laundry, kitchen, and cleaning. Detergent comes as concentrated sheets instead of water-heavy jugs. Surface cleaners use a refillable glass bottle system with dissolving tablets. Everything's formulated without parabens, phosphates, or bleach. At roughly $0.30 per laundry load, pricing lands close to conventional alternatives — you're not paying a massive green premium. If you're the person in your household who handles the shopping and feels a twinge of guilt every time you toss another plastic jug, Cleanomic is built for you. It's not asking you to change your routines or learn new habits — just swap in their version and carry on. The 30-day guarantee takes some risk off the table if something doesn't perform.
