3Really Good Reasons You Should DETOX Your Home!

1. YOU WILL BREATHE EASIER. Literally and figuratively. It’s a proven fact that chemicals and strong fumes in the air like fragrance, scented soaps, and gas can induce or trigger asthma. Even if you don’t have asthma, have you ever breathed in bathroom cleaner while cleaning your shower and it resulted in a raspy cough? Not only is it bad for your respiratory system right then and there, but regular exposure to typical cleaning products with dirty chemicals like Propylene Glycol Methyl Ether can have negative respiratory effects and even cause cancer.

2. YOU WILL SLEEP BETTER. Most people don’t realize that the detergents we use on our sheets and pajamas, the candles we burn or what materials our mattresses are made of can affect our ability to fully relax and rest. Toxins are sleep thieves!

3. YOU WILL HAVE A HEALTHIER HOME and LESS SICKNESS. The amount of toxins used in our everyday products is crazy alarming. Become educated and read ingredient labels. Stay away from PARABENS, SULFATES, FRAGRANCES (unless they come from 100% essential oils or a natural source is identified), and MINERAL OILS at the very least. Keep in mind that you won’t always FEEL negative effects of chemicals, but you also don’t always know what is going on INSIDE your body.

BOTTOM LINE: Knowing what chemicals and/or products are good or bad for you is easier than ever. Check on the Environmental Working Group’s website. A product may claim to be “environmentally friendly” because of its packaging, but not take its ingredients into account. Use the Think Dirty app. It not only rates a product’s safeness, but it suggests better alternatives. Advocate for your family – I know it is sooooo temping… butadon’t just settle for a product because it smells good – it could be causing lasting effects to your most treasured humans.
