1. Bamboo Window Squeegee – £1.50
Bamboo Window Squeegee | £1.50 at Dunelm
A window squeegee is something everyone needs in their cleaning tool cupboard, whether for their windows, their shower screen or for cleaning their floor tiles. This one has a bamboo handle to make it eco-friendly, while it has a hanging hook for storing. A bargain at £1.50, too.
2. Bamboo Chenille Duster – £2.50 at Dunelm

For dusting your surfaces, bookcases, harder to reach corners and more, this bamboo duster can prove to be a more than handy addition to your cleaning cupboard. This one has a bamboo handle and is grey
3. Bamboo Chenille and Microfibre Mop – £6 at Dunelm
Bamboo Chenille and Microfibre Mop | £6 at Dunelm
If you are in need of a brand new mop and you want a non-plastic option, then this chenille one from Dunelm is your best bet. The mop itself is made of bamboo while it comes with two machine washable heads so as to cut down on waste. It's also thin so easy to store. The only issue that we can see is that it's not a spray mop. Just buy a bamboo spray bottle and fill it with your floor cleaner and spray yourself. Easy stuff.
4. ARYA Eco Dish Brush Set – £13.99 at Amazon
ARYA Eco Dish Brush Set | £13.99 at Amazon
This eco-friendly set comes complete with four brushes and a replacement head. All of the brushes are plastic-free and made from sustainably sourced plant-based materials, while they are all biodegradable for after use. Use them to clean everything from your dishes to your pans and your cups, and the bristles on these brushes are made of sisal, coconut and palm fiber to make them tough yet non-scratch.
5. JVL 20-305 Bamboo Dustpan and Bristle Brush Set - £9.52 at Amazon
JVL 20-305 Bamboo Dustpan and Bristle Brush Set | £10.99 £9.52 at Amazon
A dustpan and brush is something we all use on a regular basis around the home, whether that's to clean up dust you've found lingering around a table leg or to pick up some dropped food or mess from a pet. Since this is a cleaning tool you can't use forever, and it will need to be replaced after the bristles of your brush start going flat or the pan starts wearing out.
6. Bamboo Cotton Mop – £4 at Dunelm
Bamboo Cotton Mop | £4 at Dunelm
This mop is such a bargain at £4. It's handy to have for cleaning a bathroom – so that you don't mix mops – or even just for doing one specific job. You'll need to wring it before each use so that it doesn't soak your floors, but it is made of durable bamboo so even after throwing it away you needn't feel guilty on the environment.

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. I've been part of the Real Homes team since 2018, when I joined as Deals Editor. Along with covering major sales events — from Black Friday to Amazon Prime Day — I review home must-haves so that you can buy with peace of mind. Mostly focusing on home fragrance and sleep, as well as a few vacuum cleaners, I've tested pretty much every item you can think of that you need in your home. I live on the outskirts of the city in a two-bed apartment with my husband and my pug, Doug. So I am always searching for compact alternatives and ways to save floor space. What about when I am not typing away? Well, you'll find me enjoying an iced coffee (no matter the season) and trying out the latest brunch spots the city has to offer, or booking my next holiday.
