Vegan Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Switching to a vegan toilet bowl cleaner means finding a product with no animal ingredients from a company that doesn’t test on animals. That takes some of the most popular household brands like Clorox out of the running.

Here’s a list of the top-reviewed vegan toilet bowl cleaners from cruelty-free brands. I’ve included the brands’ policies on ingredients and animal testing.

Seventh Generation, Method, and Mrs. Meyers were purchased by companies that test on animals. I’ve starred their products and included further information so you can decide for yourself. Which vegan toilet cleaner is right for you and your toilet?

List of Vegan Toilet Bowl Cleaners

Biokleen Soy Toilet Scrub

This toilet scrub is effective, yet the scent is gentle on the nose for people with chemical sensitivities. The biokleen website says “NO WAY! We have never ever tested a single Biokleen product on an animal, nor have we used animal ingredients in any formulation.”

All Biokleen products are biodegradable. Biokleen is Leaping bunny certified, and EPA design for the environment certified.

Frosch Toilet Bowl Cleaner

For best results, squirt this vegan toilet bowl cleaner under the rim and let sit for a few minutes before flushing or scrubbing. The Frosch website describes its products as “Vegan, no ingredients of animal origin” and customer service says from the beginning they have been opposed to animal testing. May not be strong enough for hard water deposits. EU Ecolabel certified.

Ecover Toilet Bowl Cleaner*

If you’re a fan of a strong pine scent, check out Ecover’s affordable and popular toilet bowl cleaner. As of January, 2021, Ecover’s website said, “We don’t believe in animal testing—that’s why all of our cleaners are certified by Leaping Bunny and Cruelty Free International. As part of our qualification, we’re regularly audited to ensure both Ecover and our suppliers comply with the comprehensive criteria of the Humane Cosmetics Standard.”

*Several years ago Ecover began testing on water-fleas but has since renounced all animal testing.

Seventh Generation Toilet Bowl Cleaner*

Septic safe and certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny. The Seventh Generation website say “We are proud, that since our company’s founding in 1988, we have never, ever, conducted or commissioned any animal testing of our products or their ingredients.” and “all Seventh Generation products are free of animal products, and are vegan.”

*Seventh Generation was recently acquired by Unilever which does test on animals. It is currently unclear whether Seventh Generation will be a stand-alone subsidiary allowed to continue business according to its own principles. Either way, profits may benefit a company that tests on animals.

Method Anti-bacterial Toilet Bowl Cleaner+*

The Method brand uses only vegan ingredients and does not conduct any animal testing or commission third party testing. Their website explicitly commits to this. They use alternative testing models, and all of their products are Leaping Bunny and Cruelty Free International certified.

+Method’s parent company Ecover briefly performed tests on water fleas, but after customer backlash they have doubled down on a no animal testing policy.

*Update: Method was recently acquired by SC Johnson, a company which tests on animals. Method’s products are still not tested on animals but profits from their sales may benefit SC Johnson.

Biokleen Oxygen Bleach Plus

You can use this biodegradable vegan chlorine-free oxygen bleach for laundry and for your toilet! It’s grit may help tackle issues other vegan toilet bowl cleaners leave behind. The biokleen website says “NO WAY! We have never ever tested a single Biokleen product on an animal, nor have we used animal ingredients in any formulation.”

All Biokleen products are biodegradable. Biokleen is Leaping bunny certified, and EPA design for the environment certified.
