Easy Ways to Make Your Home Healthier with Non-Toxic Swaps

Simple Non-Toxic Swaps for a Healthier Home

Making the switch to non-toxic household items is easier than you think! Many common products contain harmful chemicals that can impact your health, but simple swaps can create a safer, cleaner home.

1. Ditch Dryer Sheets – Use Wool Dryer Balls Conventional dryer sheets contain synthetic fragrances and chemicals.
