Each product from this green company has a clever name, from Even the Kitchen Sink scrub to Oak-y Dokey wood cleaner. But it's the Einshine stainless steel polish we're most taken with: It gets the smudges off cooktops, range hoods, faucets and fixtures-and smells of lavender and chamomile.

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Honeysuckle Countertop Spray
Good for everything from wood floors to countertops to bathroom fixtures, this might be the cleaner you use most. Thankfully, its fruity floral scent is more "relaxing spa" than "teenybopper body mist."
