The spring clean is upon us again, and this year, if you’d rather grab a nicely scented counter spray than a nose-burning bleach, celebrities have your back. A growing number of celebrity-backed cleaning brands from big names like Courteney Cox and Kris Jenner offer homecare products that make tidying up a sensorial experience (and way less of a chore.)
These products has a few aims. For starters, each of them is concerned with cleaning using non-toxic materials. Substances like bleach, ammonia, triclosan, chlorine, and VOCs have all been linked to poor health outcomes, and while stripping your house of them completely can be tough, non-toxic living expert Sophia Ruan Gushée says that by replacing products that we use daily with healthier options, we can better health outcomes. “Detoxing your home is not about being perfect. It’s about taking steps toward minimizing your exposure to substances that can potentially affect your health,” she previously told Well+Good.
Next up? The scents. Gone are the days of the medicinal-smelling lemon stuff. The scents at the heart of the celeb-backed lines are more akin to expensive perfume than to stuff you’d associate with cleaning your pots and pans. Jenner’s line Safely describes delivering its fragrances as adding “little joys” to your day through its scents.
And to round things out, each of the brands is also focused on its environment in one way or another to help you ditch plastic and find more sustainable ways to clean. Surprise, surprise—toxic, non-biodegradable chemicals aren’t good for nature. These cleaning products take more eco-friendly approach to cleaning, from product to packaging.
Ready to dive into each of the lines? Here’s what to know and our favorite products to shop.
Launched in 2022, Cox’s Homecourt is a fragrance-first line of cleaning essentials, including handwash, dish soap, surface cleaner, and room deodorant founded by Monica Geller herself. The line has four core fragrances to appeal to every nose—Cece (Cox’s signature), Cipres Mint, Steeped Rose, and Neroli Leaf—plus rotating, seasonal fragrances.
As for the ingredients, the brand uses, “sustainable, plant-derived, and upcycled ingredients across our collection.” It has a long list of chemicals and other sketchy ingredients it avoids (which you can read, here) and swaps virgin plastic packaging for recycled PET and other upcycled post-consumer materials. Just this year, Homecourt also aunched refillable dish soap, hand soap, and surface cleaner, so that once you have the sleek black containers, you can order just the juice and fill up your bottles without needing to have new containers every single time.

Drew Barrymore is best known for her home line Beautiful, which you can find at Walmart, but last year she also teamed up with the sustainability juggernaut Grove Collective as the Global Brand Sustainability Advocate to put her stamp of approval on a number of the brands environmentally friendly products.
Grove Collective aims to rethink how we shop for cleaning supplies. The environmental impact of shipping heavy, water-laden containers of detergents and liquids around the globe takes a big toll. Instead, Grove has cleaning concentrates that you add to distilled water to make your own cleaning solutions at home; and the dryer balls keep plastics out of the equation of doing your laundry.
