Non-toxic household product swaps
When you think about improving your health, diet and exercise likely come to mind first. However, what might surprise you is that many household products contain toxic chemicals that could be wreaking havoc on your health and well-being. Products such as air fresheners, candles, bleach, oven cleaners, and even common laundry detergents, dish detergents, and personal care products often include ingredients you would never want to expose yourself or your family to.
To ensure the products in your home are safe, you can search for them on the Environmental Working Group (EWG) website. The site provides ratings from 'EWG Verified' (the best) to an 'F' (the worst). Click here to explore their ratings.
If your products do not rank well on the EWG website, consider swapping them for safer, non-toxic alternatives next time you are due for a refill. Making these changes costs nothing extra and can have a significant impact on your health. Below, I have linked my favorite brands and explained how I use these products around my home. Get ready to experience the difference of a happy, healthy home!
