Puerto Verde is a Spanish brand that makes natural cleaning products from five basic ingredients: baking soda, sodium carbonate, citric acid (powder and liquid), white cleaning vinegar and demineralized water. All are 100% natural, additive-free, non-GMO and aluminum-free, and together they replace most household cleaning chemicals: degreasers, descalers, bleaches, drain openers and laundry detergent.
What products make up Puerto Verde's natural cleaning range?
The gentle all-purpose cleaner for everyday use. Degreases, deodorizes and whitens clothes without bleach, and is suitable for almost any surface.

How to combine the six products in a natural cleaning routine?
- Weekly kitchen and bathroom cleaning: baking soda for everyday use, reinforced with sodium carbonate on the toughest grease and white vinegar for glass and surfaces.
- Appliance maintenance: citric acid powder once a month in the washing machine, dishwasher and coffee maker to remove limescale before it builds up.
- Quick touch-ups: liquid citric acid spray for taps, shower screens and bathroom fixtures between deep cleans, without having to prepare a mixture.
- Laundry: sodium carbonate and baking soda as the base of homemade detergent, or baking soda alone as a booster for your regular detergent.
- Unclogging and deep cleaning: baking soda combined with citric acid to create an effervescent reaction that helps break up obstructions.
- Ironing and small appliances: demineralized water in the steam iron, humidifiers or batteries, to prevent tap water limescale from damaging them with use.
