Aspenclean

Evaluation Completed: 
October 28, 2025

The cleaning & laundry product category has some tough competition when it comes to ingredient safety and sustainability. There are a number of companies that score very well on our ratings. Aspen Clean has a decent foundation in place when it comes to ingredient safety. We always like to see an assortment-wide commitment to the EWG Verified certification. But we were confused not to see any of those products listed on the EWG’s online database. If you’re buying exclusively on ingredient safety then this is one to consider. We hope the company will expand their ethical business efforts moving forward.
