Non-toxic swaps I’ve implemented in our home over the last year or so:
- Getting rid of plastics in the kitchen.
Replaced with wooden cutting boards, silicone tools, glass dishes/cups/containers
- Ditching non-stick pans.
Replaced with cast iron pans, caraway baking sheet & pot, silicone baking pans
- Replacing body/hair care products with tallow based, limited ingredient bars
- Raw milk.
- Fragrance/dye free laundry & dish soap
- Zero Water glass water filter
- Chemical free wool pillows with organic cotton pillow cases to replace the non-biodegradable, microplastic filled poly blend sacks
- Ditching all fragrance sprays and plug ins
- Avoiding seed oils & using only tallow or grass fed butter in the kitchen
Currently using up the rest of my Puracy disinfectant spray stash, which had replaced “normal” household cleaners like lysol wipes, windex, etc.
Will refill the bottle with water and vinegar going forward. I’m getting over my learned germ aversion and I’m much more concerned about the caustic chemicals that are deemed as “necessary” in today’s world.
Back to basics.
Other replacements I’m working on include DIY toothpaste and mouthwash.
Open to any other suggestions ☺️
