Zero-Waste Kitchen Box – How I clean my kitchen plastic-free and effectively
Introduction
The kitchen is the heart of our home, but we often unknowingly add a lot of plastic and chemical residue to the sink with conventional cleaning products. With the Zero-Waste Kitchen Box—everything for a plastic-free kitchen—I discovered how simple and efficient sustainable cleaning can be. After the first week of use, I knew I never wanted to go back to disposables.
🌿 My journey to a zero-waste kitchen
I started with ZIELKO Dishwashing Liquid – Rhubarb (500 ml) , using 5 ml per load. I immediately noticed that grease and residue vanished easily, without accumulating plastic bottles in the cupboard. Thanks to reusable sponges and microfiber cloths, I reduced my monthly plastic waste by up to 35% (source: EcoBox Environmental Audit 2024). Every day, I felt good about my contribution to a greener planet.
