The Two-Ingredient Secret: Why Less Is More in Home Cleaning

We’ve been sold the myth that cleaning has to be complicated.

Open the cabinet under your sink and you’ll probably find a dozen cleaning products, each with a different scent, label, and list of ingredients that reads more like a lab report than something you’d want near your family or pets. One for the counters, one for the floor, another for the bathroom. Some foam, some fizz, some are “green,” some not so much.

It’s a cluttered space—literally and chemically.

At Good Salt Life, we asked: What if less really is more?

The Power of Simplicity

Our solution isn’t new. In fact, it’s beautifully simple: salt, water, and electricity. When these two ingredients are processed through electrolysis, they become a powerful cleaning solution known as electrolyzed salt water. It’s strong enough to tackle grease and grime but safe enough for your kids and pets.

No artificial dyes. No fragrances. No quats, phenols, or volatile chemicals.

Just two ingredients, transformed by science, trusted by nature.

Why Fewer Ingredients Matter

Less isn’t just a trend—it’s a response to growing concerns about safety, transparency, and long-term health. Many commercial cleaning products contain ingredients linked to respiratory irritation, skin sensitivities, or environmental harm. Even some “natural” or “eco-friendly” brands use plant-based ingredients that can still trigger allergic reactions or harm aquatic ecosystems.

By using only salt and water—then activating them with electrolysis—we eliminate the guesswork. There’s nothing to hide, and everything to trust.

Safe for Surfaces, Skin, and Peace of Mind

Electrolyzed salt water works on all kinds of surfaces—countertops, highchairs, pet bowls, bathroom sinks, even produce. It cleans without leaving behind sticky residue, overpowering scent, or toxic fumes.

And because it doesn’t rely on harsh chemical agents, it’s safer for households with asthma, allergies, pets, or young children.

Cleaner Living, Without Compromise

At Good Salt Life, we believe your home should feel safe, not sanitized like a chemical lab. You shouldn’t need gloves to clean your own kitchen. You shouldn’t have to air out your bathroom after disinfecting. And you definitely shouldn’t need 14 different products to feel confident your space is truly clean.

Just salt. Just water. Just better.
