7 Simple Home Detox Tips To Create A Fresh Start At Home

This simple habit can keep germs (pesticides, bacteria1, and more) from tracking into your home via the soles of your shoes. Taking your shoes off before you enter also supports the idea that your home is a sacred space, separate from the outside world.

There are many effective nontoxic cleaning products out there, but some of them still contain synthetic fragrances, colorings, and other preservatives. I encourage clients to experiment with DIY cleaning recipes instead. My mainstay for glass cleaning is 50/50 white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, for example. Vinegar is fantastic for cleaning, with dozens of uses around the home.

Embrace the magic of housecleaning! As I say nonstop, year-round: Housecleaning is a form of self-care and life transformation. Getting into a regular cleaning schedule can promote more creativity, mental clarity, and momentum in life.

I still remember the way I felt after my first shower with filtered water 15 years ago, and I never looked back! My skin felt incredible, my hair never looked better, and I felt more refreshed after stepping out of the shower. Putting a water filter in your shower can help reduce chlorine, metals, and other odors. Each filter has different capabilities, so it's worth researching the options available to you.

If you love air fresheners, I understand! There are now more "clean scents" available as home fragrances as well—many aren't 100% natural, but they are free of lots of irritants and chemicals. And there are fantastic natural alternatives like essential oil diffusers, bouquets of fresh flowers in season, potpourri, and more. You can fill your home with aromatic steam by adding spices and fruits into a pot of water and letting it simmer on a low flame.
