The countdown to the end of the year has begun. And maybe now is a good time to go eco-friendly at home and keep everything out of the box.
So that you can leave your space free of impurities, we leave you some practical and very useful advice to get rid of toxins, harmful not only to the environment of the house, but also to the physical and emotional well-being of those who inhabit it.
Here are 6 tips that can help you with this task, in a kind of early New Year's resolution.
Are we going to detoxify your house?
Dust, small particles composed of mites, pollen, dead skin cells, mold, hair, pesticides, air fresheners ...
Whether allergic or not, your home should be as free as possible from them. To achieve this, bet on indoor plants, bet on wooden floors, barefoot as soon as you come home, wash your bed at least once a week, use dehumidifiers and wipe the dust with a damp cloth often .
Not only for health, but also for the planet. And the tips are simple: shop with cloth bags, say no to cutlery, cups and plastic plates. Get rid of plastic bags and cling film to pack food.
A low toxicity home means a low toxicity world. To achieve this you must think very carefully about what you need to buy, but also what you put in the trash. Throw away only what cannot be reused, sold, donated or rehabilitated.
This is the most important space of the house. Tips: Buy a wooden bed, choose less toxic latex or wool mattresses, and use natural fiber bedding. Organic cotton is the best, your sleep will thank you.
We know they are aesthetic, pleasing, and capable of creating intimacy, but both artificial air purifiers and many (not all) candles are a source of household toxins. Most waxes are made with paraffins extracted from petroleum and many may contain lead.
