Simple Swaps: Transitioning to a Non-Toxic Home

Deciding to protect your home from toxins doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or expensive.

The secret is to start with the easiest, highest-impact swaps, then work gradually room by room.

Begin in the kitchen by replacing plastic storage containers with glass or stainless steel. Switch to cast iron, stainless steel or ceramic cookware, and choose toxin-free dish soap.

In your bathroom, trade synthetic air fresheners and scented candles for essential oil diffusers, and select EWG-rated or certified toxin-free beauty and body products.

For laundry, try fragrance-free, dye-free detergents and wool dryer balls instead of chemical-laden sheets.

Prioritize clean indoor air by incorporating plants, opening windows regularly, and dusting with damp cloths to capture and remove particulates.

Remember: every toxin-free step is an investment into your health and the health of the planet.

Progress over perfection is the key.
