Go Green at Work: The Best Eco Cleaning and Washroom Products for Offices
Make your workplace cleaner — without dirtying the planet.
Sustainability is no longer just a personal value — it’s a business expectation. Across Sydney and beyond, more offices are taking steps to reduce their environmental footprint, and one of the easiest places to start is with your cleaning and washroom supplies.
At Office Supermarket, we offer a growing range of eco-friendly products that keep your workplace clean, hygienic, and aligned with your sustainability goals. Here’s a round-up of the best biodegradable, low-tox, and recyclable options to help your team clean with a clear conscience.
1. Biodegradable Cleaning Sprays
Swap out chemical-heavy cleaners for biodegradable alternatives made with plant-based ingredients. These eco sprays are just as effective at tackling grime but break down safely after use, without releasing toxins into your workspace or waterways.
Look for:
- Multi-surface sprays with non-toxic formulas
- Low or no artificial fragrances
- Refillable options to reduce plastic waste
These cleaners are ideal for desks, countertops, shared kitchens, and bathroom surfaces.
2. Recycled Toilet Paper and Paper Towels
Recycled paper products are one of the simplest eco-friendly swaps for any office. They're soft, strong, and made from post-consumer waste that would otherwise end up in landfill.
Choose:
- Toilet paper made from 100% recycled content
- Paper towels that are FSC-certified or chlorine-free
- Bulk pack options to cut down on packaging waste
They’re better for the planet and cost-effective too.
3. Compostable Bin Liners
Ditch the traditional plastic bin bags and switch to compostable liners. These are made from cornstarch or other plant-based materials and are designed to break down in commercial compost systems.
Perfect for:
- Office kitchen waste bins
- Bathroom bins
- General-purpose use where odour control and hygiene are important
They offer the same durability as regular liners without the long-term environmental impact.
4. Refillable Soap and Sanitiser Solutions
Single-use hand soap and sanitiser bottles add up fast. Refillable dispenser systems cut down on waste, save money, and make it easy to top up high-traffic areas.
Look for:
- Foaming soap refills that reduce product usage
- Alcohol-based sanitisers made with plant-derived ingredients
- Low-fragrance or fragrance-free formulas for sensitive skin
An eco washroom starts with the little things — and this is one of the easiest wins.
5. Low-Tox Disinfectants and Floor Cleaners
You don’t need bleach to keep your office clean. Many modern disinfectants and floor cleaners use gentler ingredients like ethanol or hydrogen peroxide to kill germs without polluting the air or leaving behind harsh residue.
Use these in:
- Meeting rooms
- Kitchens and common areas
- Bathrooms and high-touch surfaces
They’re safer for your team and better for your air quality.
6. Microfibre Cloths Over Paper Towels
Instead of going through rolls of paper towels, switch to washable microfibre cloths for cleaning tasks. They trap dust and bacteria more effectively, reduce waste, and can be colour-coded for different zones (think kitchens vs bathrooms).
Benefits include:
- Fewer single-use products
- Better cleaning results
- Long-term cost savings
Microfibre cloths are especially useful for cleaning contractors or offices with in-house maintenance.
Why It Pays to Switch
Going green with your cleaning and washroom supplies isn’t just about the environment. It also:
- Creates a healthier workspace
- Improves indoor air quality
- Demonstrates corporate responsibility
- Supports staff wellbeing and morale
- Helps meet compliance and sustainability goals
In a competitive hiring and business environment, the way you show up behind the scenes matters.
