4 Types of Handmade Cleaning Tools That Are Still Surprisingly Effective and Look Way More Aesthetic Than Cheap, Unsustainable Plastic

A GIF of handmade cleaning tools like brushes, brooms, and scrubbers.

Simple changes go a long way. And this new year, I'm taking small steps to live a more sustainable life. Starting with switching to more conscious cleaning tools. Plastic tidying kits might seem more practical, but they're only causing more damage to the environment, and they're not nice to look at, either.

On the other hand, designer-approved cleaning tools crafted by hand from natural materials almost always look better. And it feels so much better curating a more organic clean-up arsenal that isn't a tacky eyesore.
