August 27th, 2026: Nellie's School of Clean: Do You Really Need a Different Cleaner for Everything?

Posted on

Hi, I'm Rose! I'm 20, recently moved out for university, and currently working as a summer intern at Nellie's.

Can we talk about how many different soaps exist for different things? There's dish soap for the dishes. Hand soap for the sink. Fruit wash for produce. Surface cleaner for the counters. Before I knew it, the cabinet under my sink was filled with half-used bottles that all seemed to do slightly different things.

And don't even get me started on trying to remember which cleaner is safe to use on what.

That's when I started wondering: do we really need a different cleaner for everything?

The answer? Not always.

Why Are There So Many Cleaning Products?

Walk down the cleaning aisle at any grocery store and you'll find products made specifically for almost every surface in your home.

Kitchen cleaner. Bathroom cleaner. Marble Cleaner. Glass cleaner. Dish soap. Hand soap…the list goes on.

While some products definitely have their place, most of us don't need an entire collection of cleaners for everyday cleaning, Especially if you're living in a small space or on a limited budget like me.

Meet One Soap

Nellie's One Soap is exactly what it sounds like: ONE soap designed for a variety of everyday cleaning tasks.

It's a plant-based soap that can be used for:

  • Washing dishes
  • Washing your hands
  • Cleaning fruits and vegetables
  • Cleaning countertops and household surfaces
  • Washing your dog
  • Everyday kitchen cleanup

Why I Love Multipurpose Products

Since moving out, I've learned that the products I use most often are usually the simplest ones.

If something saves space, works well, and makes cleaning easier, I'm much more likely to actually use it — hence why I love One Soap

I love that I can keep one bottle beside my sink and use it for so many different tasks throughout the day. Whether I'm washing my coffee mug, rinsing my strawberries, washing my hands, or cleaning up after making dinner, I don't have to think twice about which product I should be reaching for.

Most days, I'll grab my Swedish Dishcloth to wipe down the counter with a little One Soap or use my Forever Brush to tackle whatever's left in the sink. It's become my go-to combination for everyday cleanup.

What's In It?

One Soap is made with a plant-based formula that's free from SLS, SLES, dyes, and harsh chemical fragrances.

Instead of chemicals, it's scented with pure essential oils and comes in several options, including:

  • Peppermint
  • Melon
  • Water Lily
  • Fragrance-Free

It's also gentle on your hands, which is something I really appreciate because I feel like I'm constantly washing mine while cooking or cleaning.

Moving out has taught me that keeping your space clean doesn't have to mean buying a different product for every little task.

Sometimes, simpler really is better.

If you're looking to declutter your cleaning routine, save a little space under your sink, and make everyday cleanup easier, Nellie's One Soap might just live up to its name. Pair it with a Swedish Dishcloth or Forever Brush, and you've got an easy, multipurpose cleaning setup that's ready for just about anything.
