Non-Toxic Cleaning Products Australia: Why You'll Find Them in Our Store Too

If you've landed on this page wondering why a bone broth brand is talking about dishwashing liquid, fair question. Let us explain.

Wellness was never just about what goes in the pot for us. It's the air in your home, what's sitting under your kitchen sink, and the habits you don't even think about anymore. Real nourishment doesn't stop at the dinner table, and honestly, neither do we.

Why does a bone broth brand sell cleaning products?

The Broth Sisters started as a food business, and it still is one at its core. But behind the brand is a family who takes holistic wellness seriously, not as a trend, but as how we actually live.

Our low tox cleaning range comes from One Planet Toxin Free Home, a proudly Australian owned and made cleaning brand founded by my partner, Nic. If you've met us at a farmers market over the years, there's a good chance you already know him. This wasn't a product we stumbled onto and decided to stock. It was formulated intentionally, with real thought put into getting it right, the same standard we hold everything in our own range to. Once you've built something that good, sharing it with our customers wasn't really a question.

We're not out here chasing every wellness trend that comes along. We're a family trying to live in balance, in our kitchen and everywhere else, and this is one of the ways we do that.

What actually makes a cleaning product "non-toxic" or "low tox"?

It's a term that gets thrown around a lot, so here's what it actually means in the products we've put in front of you.

The One Planet range is built on probiotic cultured coconut vinegar as its base, rather than synthetic detergents. It's formulated with plant-derived ingredients, including certified organic soap nut extract, coconut oil, soapwort, and pure essential oils, instead of the harsh chemical residues that traditional cleaners leave behind on your surfaces, your skin, and in the air you're breathing at home. Every ingredient that goes into the range has its own independent testing paperwork behind it, so "toxin-free" isn't just a line on the label, it's backed at the ingredient level.

In plain terms, that means no synthetic fragrances masking the smell of chemicals, no residues left behind that your kids or pets are then touching, and nothing washing down the drain that fights against being broken down naturally.

What's in our low tox range?

Right now, our range covers the essentials most homes reach for every week:

• Dishwashing liquid - Lemon & Lime
• Laundry liquid - Tasmanian Lavender
• Multi-purpose cleaning sprays - Lemon Myrtle and Lavender
• Mould & mildew cleaner - Pine Needle & Clove
• Toilet cleaner spray - Pine Needle
• Natural room sprays - Lemon Myrtle and Sweet Orange

It's a small range by design, covering what you actually use daily rather than a shelf full of products you'll use once. We're planning to add more over time, so if there's something specific you're after, let us know.

Are non-toxic cleaning products actually as effective as regular ones?

This is the question everyone asks before they switch, and it's a fair one. Nobody wants to trade a clean home for a "natural" one that doesn't actually clean.

The honest answer is that plant-based formulations have come a long way. The probiotic cultured vinegar base in this range is specifically designed to break down grease, soil and odour-causing bacteria the way traditional cleaners do, just without leaving the same chemical residue behind once the job's done. You're not compromising on a clean kitchen bench to make a lower tox choice, you're just changing what's doing the work.

How do you switch to low tox cleaning without overhauling everything at once?

You don't need to throw out every bottle under your sink in one weekend. A simple way in:

• Start with what you touch most Dishwashing liquid and multi-purpose spray are the two products your hands are in contact with daily, so they're a sensible first swap.
• Let laundry be next Your clothes sit against your skin all day, making laundry liquid a close second priority.
• Finish with the specialty stuff Mould and mildew cleaner, toilet spray and room fragrance can follow once the everyday basics are sorted.

Small, deliberate swaps tend to stick. Trying to overhaul your entire cleaning cupboard overnight rarely does.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a cleaning product low tox or non-toxic?

Generally, it means the formulation avoids synthetic chemical detergents and harsh residues in favour of plant-derived and naturally-based ingredients, such as probiotic cultured vinegar, plant extracts and pure essential oils.

Are non-toxic cleaning products made in Australia?

The One Planet Toxin Free Home range we stock is proudly Australian owned and made, produced locally in Melbourne.

Do low tox cleaning products actually clean as well as regular ones?

Well-formulated plant-based cleaners can be genuinely effective at cutting grease, soil and odour-causing bacteria. The difference is what's left behind afterwards, not the cleaning power itself.

Is "toxin-free" just a marketing claim, or is it actually backed up?

 In the One Planet range, every individual ingredient has its own independent testing paperwork behind it. It's a formulation-level claim rather than a single third-party certification of the finished product, but it means the toxin-free claim isn't just a line on the label.

Where can I buy non-toxic cleaning products in Australia?

Our low tox living range is available directly through The Broth Sisters store online.

Why does The Broth Sisters sell cleaning products, not just food?

Because wellness in our house was never just about the kitchen. This range was formulated by my partner Nic's business, One Planet Toxin Free Home, and once something's been made properly, we want our customers to have access to it too.
