Why are natural house cleaning products good for the environment?
There’s a clue in the word ‘natural’
References :
Because the products degrade safely after use and (hopefully) less harmful waste products are produced during their manufacture.

I like caldini’s answer, but for me the question is can natural house cleaning products really clean the house effectively?
References :
1. They are biodegradable – Natural cleaning products can be broken down by living organisms. They become a useful addition to the environment instead of building up and becoming waste.
2. They are nontoxic – Some household cleaning products need to be disposed of in a special manner because they are actually toxic and can harm other living organisms. On the other hand, natural cleaning products are made from substances that don’t harm the environment.
3. They reduce waste and pollution – If the natural cleaning products are concentrated, then they help the environment by reducing packaging waste. Since concentrates require less transportation, they help reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well.
