At Abundance Organizing we are an eco-friendly company with a promise to use less than 25% plastic by 2025. We are committed to offering eco-friendly organizing solutions and products and to teaching our clients how to increase sustainability within their households, and enhance our own business practices with a mindful eye on prioritizing the planet. Using natural cleaning products and teaching our clients to do the same is one way we can practically do this. Conventional cleaning products can be so very damaging.
