Looking for a simple place to start?
This free guide walks you through 10 easy swaps to help you create a cleaner, greener, and safer home without being overwhelmed. From laundry detergent to snacks for your kids, I’ll show you what I’ve swapped in my own home to reduce toxins and protect my family’s health.
Get Your Home Rid Of All the Toxic Junk
Ready to ditch the overwhelm and start swapping out the harmful stuff for safer, healthier alternatives? These are 10 super simple swaps that can make a big difference for your family’s health- and the planet. No crunchy extremes here- just practical, mom-tested ideas.
Swap 1: Laundry Detergent
Most detergents are full of harsh chemicals + unnecessary plastic. Try this instead: a biodegradable, concentrated detergent that requires only 2 teaspoons per load. Less waste, better clean.
Swap 2: All-Purpose Cleaners
Ditch the fumes and lung irritants.
Try instead: a botanical formula made with essential oils. Bonus: it smells amazing, and your kids can help clean without you freaking out.
Swap 3: Body Wash
What you put on your skin matters. Try a body wash that is free of parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances.
Swap 4: Toothpaste
Many drugstore toothpastes contain triclosan and artificial dyes. Try instead: a gentle yet effective toothpaste made from plant-based ingredients.
Swap 5: Supplements
Not all vitamins are created equal. Try instead: supplements backed by science and designed for absorption.
Swap 6: Room Sprays/Oils
Say goodbye to fake fragrances. Try This Instead: a diffuser with lavender or citrus oils to naturally uplift your mood and purify the air.
Swap 7: Skincare
Hidden hormone disruptors? No thanks. Try instead: a 4-step system with clean, non-toxic ingredients that nourish without the junk.
Swap 8: Makeup
Makeup shouldn’t come with a health warning. Try instead: lipsticks and mascara free of lead, talc, and parabens.
Swap 9: Snack Food
No more sugar crashes or red dye meltdowns.
Try instead: low-sugar, dye-free snacks made with real ingredients (and yes, they’ll actually be eaten).
Swap 10: Dryer Sheets
Dryer sheets+ sneaky chemical bombs. Try instead: reusable wool dryer balls- add a few drops of essential oil and boom: fresh laundry, no toxins.
