Household Items You Should Get Rid Of

Swap #1 - Bleach

Bleach is dangerous for health, family, and the environment. It releases harmful fumes that can lead to cancer and other health problems.

Non Toxic Swaps:

• Branch Basics Concentrate + Oxygen Boost (this is what I love!!!) Use code CLEANLIVINGKARLY for a discount on starter sets!!

• Baking Soda

• Vinegar

Swap #2 - Dish Soap

 Non Toxic Swaps:

• Spray dirty, greasy dishes with a standard All-Purpose solution, scrub as needed, and rinse under warm water. For tougher grease or cooked-on messes, try using the Bathroom spray instead, which is a stronger dilution. You can also use the Foaming Soap bottle and squirt the soap onto a sponge or brush if you prefer to see more foaming action.

• For your dishwasher, Branch Basics Dishwasher Tablets are the best way to get sparkling clean dishes, without compromising safety.

Swap #3 - Toothpaste

Have you ever wondered why your toothpaste is such a vibrant color? Well, it's time to rethink that choice, as that bright hue may come from synthetic dyes derived from petroleum and coal tar. These artificial additives might make your toothpaste visually appealing, but they bring nothing positive to your oral health.

 Non Toxic Swaps:

• Risewell has a variety of products including toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and mints! My favorite is their PRO mineral toothpaste!! They also have a kids mineral toothpaste!! (Risewell Discount Code: CLEANKITCHENLIVING10)

• Boka Toothpaste: Remineralizes teeth and supports enamel health, freshens breath without the need for artificial flavors, and free from fluoride, sulfates, parabens, or any other harmful additives.
