If you’re looking to detox your home, here are some of my favorite non-toxic household products.
Are you looking to detox your household and personal care products? Congratulations – that is such an important and worthy thing to do! There are so many harsh and harmful chemicals and materials in some of the products we’ve all been using for years… aluminum in deodorant, lead in lipstick, and carcinogens in laundry detergent. It’s enough to make anyone want to empty out their home and start over. But, please don’t do that.
Before you worry and try to toss out everything in your home, let me encourage you to be patient. Detoxing your home is a journey. It’s not something you should do all at once because there are just too many changes to make. Change always takes time and what you really want to do is create a new non-toxic lifestyle with new products and routines, so it’s best to get there gradually.
And remember… stressing out about toxins is toxic! So let’s get there slowly. And be easy on yourself!
Detoxing my life is a journey that I am still on. I get a lot of questions about the various products I’ve researched and the ones I use, and so I wanted to put together a quick & dirty list for you to reference. I’ll keep this list updated and promise to expand on it so that it’s helpful to you as you detox your home.
This is not a complete list yet – it’s a work in progress! If there’s anything you’re looking for that isn’t on this list, just let me know.
