Detox Your Home Part Two
Last week we covered dealing with toxic fragrances,
accumulated dust and dirt, and avoiding plastic use
(especially cutting boards and microwaving in plastic
containers). Here are this week’s tips:
FILTER YOUR WATER. Try to find pitchers or whole
house filters that reduce “forever chemicals.” Most of
these toxins come from the production of plastics. Many
bypass city filter systems.
AVOID WATER AND STAIN-RESISTANT CLOTHES &
SPRAYS. Furniture, rugs, raincoats and boots treated with
these chemicals can release them into the air. Read
labels.
OPEN THE HOUSE TO FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT.
This helps move toxins out, especially in the winter
months.
ADD HOUSEPLANTS. Living plants add oxygen to the
home and offer a calming bit of the outdoors.
USE NATURAL CLEANERS WHEN POSSIBLE. Add
vinegar to water for detoxing kitchen counters.
A detoxed home should help keep your family healthy.
