Detox Your Home: 5 Swaps to Make This Month
Simple, affordable, mama-friendly changes that make a big difference
Let’s talk about your home.
The place where your babies sleep, where you breathe, cook, cuddle, and unwind.
The place you should feel the safest… but if you’re anything like I was, once you learned about hidden toxins in your everyday products, you felt a little overwhelmed (or even straight-up panicked).
The good news? You don’t have to change everything overnight.
Start with five small swaps—just five—and by the end of the month, you’ll have taken a huge step toward a cleaner, safer home.
“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.” – Proverbs 24:3
🌿 Why Detox Matters
The average home contains over 60,000 synthetic chemicals, many of which are known to disrupt hormones, affect respiratory health, or impact the nervous system.
But companies aren’t required to disclose every ingredient, especially in things labeled as “fragrance.” That’s where you come in.
When you swap out hidden toxins for natural, plant-based options, you lighten your family’s toxic load. You reduce inflammation. You support the immune system. And yes—you breathe easier (literally and spiritually).
🧼 Swap 1: All-Purpose Cleaner
🚫 What to ditch: Bleach-based sprays, disinfectant wipes, or anything with “fragrance” or “quats”
✅ Swap it for: Thieves Household Cleaner
One capful + water in a spray bottle = a plant-powered cleaner that works for everything: countertops, windows, toilets, high chairs, even mirrors. Safe for kids, pets, and every surface.
Bonus: It smells like fall in a bottle. Cinnamon, clove, lemon, rosemary, eucalyptus. Yes, please.
🧴 Swap 2: Hand Soaps
🚫 What to ditch: Anything with triclosan, “antibacterial” on the label, or fake fragrance
✅ Swap it for: Thieves Foaming Hand Soap or DIY with Castile soap + essential oils
Washing hands shouldn’t dry out skin or mess with your gut microbiome. A simple natural hand soap still gets the job done—without the hormone disruption.
🧺 Swap 3: Laundry Detergent
🚫 What to ditch: Mainstream laundry brands with optical brighteners, SLS, and synthetic fragrance
✅ Swap it for: Thieves Laundry Soap
This was a game changer for our family—especially for my kids’ skin. No more mystery rashes or itchy clothes. You can even dilute it to make it go further (I’ll share how in another post!).
🕯️ Swap 4: Candles & Air Fresheners
🚫 What to ditch: Plug-ins, Febreze, Bath & Body Works candles
✅ Swap it for: A diffuser + essential oils
This might feel like a hard one to let go of—but trust me, once you start diffusing oils, you’ll never go back. You get amazing scents plus real benefits like emotional support, immune protection, and a calmer home.
Start with a fall blend:
4 drops Thieves
3 drops Orange
2 drops Cinnamon Bark
You’re welcome.
🛁 Swap 5: Personal Care
🚫 What to ditch: Body washes, lotions, and deodorants with parabens, phthalates, and “fragrance”
✅ Swap it for: Seedlings Baby Wash, Young Living deodorant, or a few DIYs
Your skin is your largest organ. If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t rub it on. Start with just one product—maybe what you use every day (like deodorant)—and work your way out from there.
✨ Final Encouragement
You don’t have to throw out your whole house or spend hundreds of dollars.
You just need to start.
Start with one swap a week for a month. Pray over your home. Ask the Lord for wisdom. Open the windows. Diffuse some oils. And trust that small changes add up to big transformation.
You are creating a peaceful, healthy, God-honoring space—and that’s a powerful thing.
“Let your home be a haven, not a hazard.”
