How can I have a healthier home? Less toxic products and less plastic waste!

If you are looking ways to buy smart so you can help fight climate change, consider purchasing fewer household cleaning products. Despite the constant commercial messaging from behemoth consumer product companies hawking the new-and-improved, extra-added cleaning power of their latest offerings, you don’t need that much cleaning power—or a different specialized product for every task. By cleaning with simple ingredients that you already have in your pantry such as vinegar, baking soda, and even fresh lemons, you’ll be creating a healthier home environment, reducing your environmental impact, and saving a bundle of money—all at the same time.
Toxic chemicals
Unless you’re a hermit living in a cave, you need to clean your home, your clothes, and yourself. However, being too clean isn’t healthy, as your immune system needs some exposure to pathogens to figure out which irritants are harmful and which are harmless. So as it turns out, you’re better off avoiding those fancy hand sanitizers and antimicrobial soaps and not obsessing over cleanliness in general.
