🧼 Personal care:

• Go fragrance-free or essential-oil scented only.
• Use non-toxic brands: examples include Attitude, Acure, Beautycounter, Dr. Bronner’s, and Weleda.
• Simplify: many people find that a handful of products (castile soap, jojoba oil, shea butter) can replace dozens of conventional items.

🧺 Laundry:

• Choose detergent free from dyes, fragrances, and optical brighteners. Look for “free & clear” or EWG Verified versions.
• Skip fabric softener and dryer sheets. Instead, use:
  • Wool dryer balls (add a drop of essential oil if scent is desired).
  • 1/2 cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle to soften clothes and remove soap residue.

🛏️ Textiles:

• Choose untreated cotton or GOTS-certified organic fabrics when replacing sheets or towels.
• Wash new clothes and linens before use — some may be treated with anti-mildew or anti-wrinkle chemicals.
