10 Natural Household Products for a Cleaner Home (Updated)

This past spring, I heard about this app called Think Dirty that is used to scan the barcode on a product to see the list of ingredients and how it rates between clean, half n’ half, or dirty, then it gives a score from 0-10, 10 being the dirtiest (most toxic).

Well, let me tell you, that was eye-opening! There are so many products that are marketed as “natural” that still have added fragrance and other toxins, which is a huge bummer! Ever since doing the Whole30 a couple years ago, I’ve made sure to read all the labels on the food that I was putting into my body, but not even thinking twice about reading the labels on the products that I was putting ON my body or IN my house. Thankfully, the Think Dirty app breaks down each ingredient and explains what it is and whether it's safe or may be harmful to you. The app also shows you many options of clean replacements for your products!

Since that fateful spring day, I have gotten rid of almost all of the toxic products in our home, aside from the occasional candle and perfume/cologne, but it’s baby steps! I’m still learning every day, but I thought I would share some of my favorite household products that will get the job done without adding additional toxins into your home. :)
