Become eco-friendly and make your home more sustainable!

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?

End the dust war

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 .

Change the kitchen utensils

 
Replaces the aluminum pots and pans with cast iron, ceramic or nickel-free stainless steel. Say no to copper pots and buy oven-safe containers and glass jars. Always use wooden planks and never plastic ones. The health thanks.

End of use of plastic

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.

Recycling is better than throwing it away

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.

Low tox rooms

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.

No candles and air purifiers

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.
