Sustainable Must Haves

Ashley here! As the founder of AMK, I have always wanted to set our services apart from the rest. One of the biggest ways that we stand out is our environmental impact.

We have focused on sustainability all year, from the office to home. As a family of seven, we go through many supplies, so it is important to be stocked with all the essentials. That is why we have put together the ultimate eco-friendly must-have list. These are my favorite products that I have been testing all year, from business to pleasure. We will break them down by room, making it easy to spot your next purchase.

Tips & Tricks

  • We love our furry friends over at AMK so make sure to check out our “Eco-Friendly Pet Cleaning Tips” to keep the house clean and allergen-free.
  • Lemons aren’t just for cooking—they’re also a powerful natural cleaner! Use a halved lemon to scrub stains on countertops, cutting boards, or in the microwave. The natural acidity of lemons helps to break down stains and disinfect surfaces, leaving behind a fresh, citrusy scent. Plus, you can compost the lemon peels afterward!
  • Instead of tossing food scraps into the trash, consider starting a compost bin. Composting not only reduces waste but also creates nutrient-rich soil for your garden. Fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and even eggshells can all be composted, helping you to minimize your environmental footprint.

Being Green Gets Easier Every Day

While it can be hard to be eco-friendly every day, having these products around the house helps support sustainable small businesses versus contributing to negative environmental impact.

Try out one of these products and let me know your favorites!

With love,
