Sal Suds: The Eco-friendly Powerhouse for Every Room in your House
By Kristin Whiting, Owner of RedButton Cleaning
At RedButton Cleaning, we’re committed to delivering a high-quality, eco-conscious clean that’s safe for your family, your pets, and the planet. One of our favorite tools in our cleaning caddy is Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds—and for good reason. This concentrated, biodegradable cleaner is a true multi-tasker and a staple in our mission to provide top-notch house cleaning in Columbus, Ohio, and surrounding communities like Westerville, New Albany, and Gahanna.
What is Sal Suds?
Sal Suds is a concentrated all-purpose cleaner made by Dr. Bronner’s. Unlike their castile soap, which is oil-based and best for body care and light cleaning, Sal Suds is a detergent—designed to cut through grease and grime without leaving a residue. It’s made with plant-based surfactants and essential oils, has a fresh pine scent, and is gentle enough for frequent use while being powerful enough for tough jobs.
Curious about the ingredients? Sal Suds scores an A rating on the EWG Guide to Healthy Cleaning for its safety and eco-friendliness.

How We Use Sal Suds in the Homes We Clean
Whether you’ve booked a deep clean, maintenance clean, move-out clean, or our customized maid service, you’ll benefit from the cleaning power of Sal Suds.
1. Kitchens
Sal Suds is amazing on:
Countertops
Backsplashes
Appliance exteriors
Floors
Cabinet fronts
We dilute just a teaspoon in a spray bottle filled with water for an effective degreasing cleaner that makes stainless steel sparkle.
2. Bathrooms
We love it for:
Sink basins
Tubs and tiles
Shower glass
Floors
Chrome fixtures
It cuts through soap scum and hard water spots beautifully while leaving behind a fresh pine scent.
3. Floors
Sal Suds is safe for sealed hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile. Just a few drops in a bucket of warm water delivers a streak-free clean.
4. Dusting and General Cleaning
We use it for:
Door frames
Baseboards
Light switches
Shelves
Walls and doors
It lifts grime without the harsh chemicals often found in store-brand cleaners.
5. Laundry Boost
While not a replacement for detergent, a few drops of Sal Suds in a load of laundry (especially for work towels or pet bedding) helps cut grease and odors.
6. Move-Out or Deep Cleans
For those heavier-duty cleans in Columbus or surrounding areas, Sal Suds helps us tackle built-up grime in places that haven’t seen a good scrub in a while. If you're moving or need a reset for your home, book a move-in/move-out cleaning or deep clean today.
