CHOOSE TO CLEAN WITH NATURAL PLANT-BASED CLEANERS VERSUS COMMERCIAL CLEANERS
Choose to clean with natural/homemade/plant-based cleaners versus commercial cleaning products. You can make homemade recipes with essential oils using lemons, salt, baking soda, vinegar, and olive oil. These are very effective cleaning solutions without the toxins to clean your home.
USE A DIFFUSER
Use a diffuser with essential oils, the oils have so many amazing benefits, and not just to enhance the air quality in your home. They are great for emotional cleansing, fatigue, reduces stress, anxiety, and helps promote sleep on those restless nights.
SMOKE IN A DESIGNATED AREA
If you are a smoker, use a designated area outside the home for smoking, especially if there are children and non-smokers that live in the home. Exposure to second-hand smoke can cause heart disease, lung cancer, chronic cough and so much more. It can raise the risk for bronchitis, asthma attacks, pneumonia, and ear infections in children. Smokers can even carry the toxins on their clothing from the smoke. People who work in an environment with smokers put themselves at greater risk to develop health issues listed above. Avoid the toxic dangers in the air, stop smoking and allow your home to be smoke-free and healthy for you and your family!
CHECK FOR MOLD AND MILDEW
The effects of mold and mildew growing in your home can cause allergies, asthmas, sneezing, coughing, itchy watery eyes, fatigue, headaches, trouble breathing, and more symptoms. If you smell a musty odor, there is a great chance you have mold and mildew growing in your home. You can’t always see it because it could be hiding in your walls and floors, and at the same time, it is affecting you and your family’s health. This is one of the many reasons why we need to control the toxins in the air we breathe in our environment. Every homeowner should learn how to get rid of mold and mildew and eliminate the harmful effects it can cause to your health and well being.
GLASS VERSUS PLASTIC CONTAINERS
Switch out your plastic containers for glass if possible. Plastic containers are highly synthetic and can leak toxins into your food, especially when they are heated in the microwave. Be cautious about the products you bring into your home. Make sure when you make your next purchase, it is safe and healthy for you, your family, and the environment.
CONCLUSION:
Follow these 6 tips on how to eliminate the toxins from your home. Choose to clean with plant-based/homemade cleaners, diffuse your home with essential oils, smoke in a designated area of your home, check for mold and mildew, and use glassware versus plastic containers for your food. This will help eliminate the toxins and give you better air quality for your home so you can live a safe and toxic-free lifestyle for you and your family.
