Even items that passed your triage process and were thoroughly cleaned can still cause problems if your body isn’t ready.

As you reintroduce each batch of items:

• Observe how you feel—within minutes, hours, and days.

• If symptoms return (fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, mood changes, etc.), remove the item immediately and ventilate the space.

• Store questionable items in sealed bins outside the main living area for future evaluation.

📋 Tip: Keep a simple reintroduction journal. Jot down what you added and how you felt after, so you can track patterns over time.

Sometimes a “clean” item may just need more time—or another round of cleaning—before your body can tolerate it again.
