Did you know that the inside of our homes is often times more toxic than the outside? The truth is that the air inside our homes is generally between 2-5x more polluted than the air outside (with the potential to be much higher!). So today, we're challenging you to make a green cleaner! (bonus points for ditching the products you no longer need!)

The importance of decreasing our toxic load is so important for overall health. What we’re breathing in, applying to our skin, ingesting…..it all matters! Paying closer attention to household products is a great way to better manage exposure to toxic chemicals in our homes.

You can green up your cleaning cabinet with just a few simple swaps. Keep reading (or watching) to see some of my best suggestions!

You don't need to have essential oils to be able to green clean, but they are an incredible addition to your cleaning routine! They don't just smell amazing, they have the power to cleanse the air, disinfect surfaces, battle tough buildup/stains, and so much more! And YES, they are just as effective as the common cleaners you'll find on the shelves of your local shopping store, but without the harmful side effects :)

WARNING!!! You will be shocked to learn how toxic some of the most common cleaning products really are! Visit the Environmental Working Group’s website to check out the safety ratings on what you're using.

Happy cleaning + see you tomorrow!
