Maintaining a healthy septic system requires using cleaning products that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and free from harsh chemicals.
Because your septic tank works with friendly bacteria that break down the waste in your septic tank, it is important not to use harsh cleaning chemicals around the home that can destroy the bacteria in your septic tank over time.
There are some reputable brands that offer septic-safe products. Below are the septic tank friendly branded house cleaning products that we recommend.
