Clean Freak, But Make It Ethical
A handwoven broom, a stain stick from Marseille, dishwasher tablets that skip the microplastics, reusable paper towels, and dryer balls made by actual alpacas. Well, made from actual alpacas. The alpacas didn’t do the manufacturing. This is everything you need to clean your home without quietly making the planet worse. Turns out that’s possible.

Five Ways to Clean Without the Guilt.
Clean That Actually Means Clean
The Cottage Broom is the lighter, more maneuverable sibling to the Everyday Broom — handwoven by Amish makers in Pennsylvania on a traditional loom that’s been in the same family for over 50 years. Natural broom corn, solid oak handle, small-batch production. It sweeps better than anything plastic, and it looks good doing it, which matters more than people like to admit.
The stain stick comes from Compagnie de Provence — made in one of the oldest soap-making shops in Marseille using a true Marseille soap formula mixed with baking soda. Rub it on coffee, grass, blood, food, or grease stains before you toss things in the wash. It’s the kind of simple, effective product that makes you wonder why stain removal ever needed to be complicated.
Green Llama’s dishwasher tablets skip the PVA film, synthetic fragrance, and plastic packaging that most pods rely on. Plant and mineral-based cleaning in compostable packaging. The alpaca dryer balls come from a U.S. farm where Barlow, Zayne, Echo, Lulu, Cactus, and Opal provide the fleece. Unlike wool, alpaca fibers don’t break down over time — so a set of ten lasts for years, reduces drying time, and replaces dryer sheets permanently. And Marley’s Monsters rounds it out with reusable paper towels that save you $200+ a year and get softer with every wash.
Why These Five
Less Waste. Same Clean. Better Stuff.
Replace the Disposables
Reusable paper towels instead of throwaways. Alpaca dryer balls instead of dryer sheets. Dishwasher tablets without PVA pods. Every product here replaces something you’d otherwise keep buying and throwing away. Your trash can will feel neglected.
Natural Ingredients That Work
Marseille soap and baking soda handle stains. Plant and mineral-based tablets clean dishes without microplastics. Broom corn sweeps floors. None of this is high-tech. All of it works. Sometimes the old methods stuck around because they were the best ones.
Things That Last
The broom is handwoven by Amish makers and built to outlast its plastic competition by years. The dryer balls don’t break down. The reusable towels get softer with age. This guide is an investment in not re-buying the same stuff every few months.
“Barlow, Zayne, Echo, Lulu, Cactus, and Opal provide the fleece. We just make the dryer balls.”

Questions
The Stuff You Want to Know
What’s in this guide?
Five natural cleaning products: a handwoven Amish Cottage Broom, a Compagnie de Provence French Laundry Stain Stick, 40 Green Llama fragrance-free dishwasher tablets, a 12-pack of Marley’s Monsters reusable paper towels, and a set of 10 alpaca fleece dryer balls. It’s a full cleaning reset without a single piece of single-use plastic in the bunch.
Are these products actually better for the environment?
Yes. Every product replaces a disposable or chemical-heavy alternative. No PVA, no microplastics, no synthetic fragrances, no plastic handles, no dryer sheets in a landfill. The broom is natural broom corn, the stain stick is Marseille soap, the tablets are plant and mineral-based in compostable packaging, the paper towels are reusable cotton flannel, and the dryer balls are 100% alpaca fleece. We checked.
How much do I save buying these together?
And that’s before the ongoing savings — the reusable paper towels alone save $200+ a year in disposables. At this rate you might actually be able to afford a hobby that isn’t “online shopping.”
How long do the alpaca dryer balls last?
Years. Alpaca fleece fibers are hollow and don’t break down over time, unlike wool. Ten balls in your dryer reduce drying time, control static, and replace dryer sheets permanently. You can add essential oils if you want scented laundry. The fleece comes from six alpacas on a U.S. farm who are named Barlow, Zayne, Echo, Lulu, Cactus, and Opal. We didn’t name them, but we respect the choices.
What stains does the French laundry stick handle?
Coffee, grass, blood, food, and grease. Made in one of the oldest soap-making shops in Marseille from a true Marseille soap formula mixed with baking soda. Rub it on the stain before washing, or while it’s still wet. It’s the kind of stain fighter that makes an entire aisle of spray bottles feel unnecessary.
Clean House. Clear Conscience.
Your conscience and your countertops both win.
