Ditch & Switch

It’s Time to Clean Smarter

Let’s be real for a moment...

  • If you wouldn’t let your kids drink it
  • rub it on their skin                                 
  • breathe it in 

 Why is it in your cleaning cupboard?

Most commercial cleaning, laundry, and air-freshening products are packed full of toxins we’ve been conditioned to trust.


But those bright bottles with words like “fresh” or “eco” often hide a long list of ingredients that mess with your hormones, irritate your skin, and affect our breathing, especially for little ones and pets.


It’s time to ditch the toxic junk and switch to better solutions.

Natural doesn’t mean less effective, it means smarter.

What to Ditch

Here’s What You Can Start Ditching:   



🚫 Chemical-laden sprays with synthetic fragrance

🚫 Antibacterial cleaners that wipe out good bacteria too

🚫 Laundry powders with optical brighteners and hidden irritants

🚫 Fabric softeners that coat your clothes in waxy residue

🚫 Air fresheners filled with phthalates and “fragrance mystery blends”

Watch out for these

common toxins:

Ammonia

– Eye, skin, and lung irritant

– Can cause respiratory distress


Chlorine Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite)

– Corrosive

– Creates toxic fumes if mixed with acids or ammonia


Phthalates

– Hidden in synthetic fragrances

– Linked to hormone disruption


Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (“Quats”)

– Found in disinfectants

– Can trigger asthma and skin irritation


2-Butoxyethanol (Glycol Ethers)

– Solvent in all-purpose & glass cleaners

– Causes respiratory and liver damage


Formaldehyde Releasers (e.g., DMDM Hydantoin)

– Preservatives in some detergents

– Carcinogenic, causes skin irritation


Optical Brighteners

– Added to laundry detergents

– Can irritate skin, toxic to aquatic life

And Here’s What You

Can Switch To Instead:

Lemon essential oil

– For powerful degreasing, whitening, and freshening


Tea Tree oil

– For antibacterial, antifungal, and surface cleansing


Lavender

– To soothe, soften, calm and leave everything smelling amazing


Eucalyptus & Peppermint

– For deep cleaning AND energising your space


DIY blends made with Certified Pure Tested Grade essential oils (so you know they’re safe)

                           

It’s not about tossing everything at once
