We want clean that leaves nothing nasty behind, so our spring-cleaning arsenal will be filled with Method.

The brand was founded in 2000 and the distinctive design has always stood out on shelves. (Thank raised-in-Canada designer Karim Rashid for its iconic look.)

But Method isn’t just style, it’s substance too. The formulas are all-natural and non-toxic. Spring’s stars include the All-Purpose Cleaner, whose grime-fighting formula is derived from corn and coconut ($4.59), Laundry Detergent that has an itty-bitty carbon footprint ($16.99) and biodegradable Dish Soap ($4.59).
