When it comes to cleaning your household, what products you are using can impact your health outcomes without you even recognizing them! Making small changes with what we are using in our home can have a huge impact overtime. Maybe you have a lingering headache every time you light your favorite candle or start to have an increase in heart rate whenever you mop. Whatever it may be, the body is alerting you that you are having a REACTION to something. When we use these products that can be impactful overtime, symptoms come about that can seem to be untreatable (....but they are 😉 ).
It took us a while, and we continue to make more swaps, but here are some of our favorite products that we have made the switch to in our households:
Candles
When you light a candle, its aroma can evoke so much within. Whether it's a memory or person, a moment in time, or your favorite yummy scent. They're great, we totally get it. But when you are constantly breathing and absorbing formaldehyde and other toxins, it can be not-so great. We have done our research, and have found several trusted brands that create beautiful candles without the junk that can lift you up, put a smile on your face, and create the ambiance in any room: Be Blends, Oh Happy Day, Native Candle, and of course, our candles made by us!
Air Fresheners
We love using GrowFragrance air and fabric fresheners because they are non-toxic, plant-based, and safe pets, babies, and humans 😊 You can spray this in your car, room, office, without the headaches other products may cause. We love spraying it in our vacuum filter or in the trash can for a little boost!
Floor Cleaning Solution
Clean floors are so important for our health. Have you ever thought about the toxins our shoes pick up from the outdoors? What we bring into our home can be dangerous to us, so cleaning our floors frequently can be so helpful.
We love using Aunt Fannie's Floor Cleaner for their minimal + clean ingredients.
Laundry Detergent
There are sooo many benefits to using cleaner laundry detergent:
Free of chemicals and toxins that can be harmful to us + the environment
Biodegradable
Better for your clothes
Improves air quality in the home
No headaches or skin irritation from synthetic fragrances
