Kosher is sometimes used to mean pure, acceptable or approved, but traditionally, kosher refers to food that is produced and consumed in accordance with dietary laws of the Jewish religion. Kosher is not a term that is used to refer to cleaning products; however, some may use the term to imply that their products are organic and pure and acceptable to be used in a kosher home or restaurant. It may also imply that the cleaning product does not contain any ingredients or combinations of ingredients that would be considered unkosher.
Organic Kitchen Dish Soap and All-purpose Cleaner
Green-cleaning brand Organic Kitchen makes a range of household cleaning products made with all-natural borax and fruit extracts that are gentle on you and the environment. The grapefruit/patchouli dish soap is antibacterial and contains grapefruit seed extract to disinfect, and the nutmeg all-purpose cleaner cleans and disinfects all non-porous surfaces. Organic Kitchen products contain no animal ingredients or combinations of ingredients that would be considered unkosher.

For the last 25 years, SODASAN has been formulating alternative cleaning products for a cleaner world. Their household cleaning product range is 100 percent certified organic by Ecocert and is made with organically grown vegetable raw materials. Products include: Vinegar Cleaner, Heavy Duty Scrub, Orange Cleaner, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Bath and Shower Cleaner and Glass Cleaner. SODASAN products are 100 percent vegan and do not contain any ingredients that would be considered unkosher.
Make Your Own
Often the best and most inexpensive way to get 100 percent organic cleaning products is to make them at home using your own organic ingredients. Organic white vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda and essential oils such as tea tree oil make very effective cleaning solutions to clean your whole house. Organic Authority recommends making an organic surface cleaner by combining organic white vinegar, distilled or filtered water and several drops of tea tree or citrus oil to clean and disinfect kitchen and bathroom counter tops. You can make an organic scrub for removing grime and residue from the bathtub by combining baking soda and liquid castile soap made with organic olive oil.
