Four Chemical-Free Essentials for a Safe Home & Quality Air

If you’ve ever thought about doing a spell of extra clean eating or signing up for some fitness classes, you may also consider how your environment at home rubs off on your well-being. Americans spend an ever-increasing amount of time indoors - so, indoor air quality is essential. 

Many household items are riddled with toxins, some you’d probably least expect! From the furniture on your floors to the cleaning and home repair products you may use.

It’s not all doom and gloom.

Here are a few top tips to start creating a cleaner, greener and healthier home today:

1. Look for environmentally friendly cleaning products

Lining the shelves of supermarkets are commercial cleaning products that are filled to the brim with harsh chemicals, for example, bleach and chlorine. Chemicals such as those found in common household cleaning products can be detrimental to the health of you and your family, as well as your pets. 

A common misconception is that harsh chemicals are needed to get the job done effectively. This isn’t true. Many nasty cleaning products can be very simply swapped for natural, plant-based alternatives that’ll do just as good a job while keeping your family safe. 

2. Buy organic and non-GMO

Conventional produce isn’t all it’s made out to be. A lot of it hasn't had any testing conducted at all into the long-term health effects. A great way to promote a chemical-free, healthier home is by opting for organic and non-GMO options when doing your weekly grocery shop. 

Buying organic was once a luxury, for the most part. It is, however, becoming increasingly accessible and affordable. Fruit and vegetables are often home to a lot of hazardous chemicals, as a result of commercial processes. So, it pays to browse the organic section when shopping for these kinds of fresh food items. 

3. Make use of toxin-free home repair products

Toxic home repair products present one of the highest risks to your family. There are many ways children and pets can come in contact with toxic substances if you use them in your house, especially when conducting ongoing DIY projects.

While aiming to keep kids and pets out of work areas, you can also choose non-toxic products.  SafeMend™ , for example, is a non-toxic wall mending product specially designed to minimize  the risk of toxins  in your home. 

4. Embrace the jungle life 

There’s no mystery behind why houseplants have taken off in popularity over the last few years. Indoor plants are undoubtedly one of the biggest household trends of the decade. And it’s not just because of the luscious aesthetic they bring to any indoor space.  

Houseplants can help detoxify the air in your home, neutralizing chemicals and removing pollutants. The great news is, there are low-maintenance houseplants that exist too. So, don’t worry if you don’t exactly have a “green thumb”!

Most chemicals don’t have a taste, scent or smell, so present that extra danger, being hidden. It’s, therefore, no wonder that the condition of our indoor air is thought of as one of the biggest environmental threats to our health. 

At SafeMend™ , we take the health and safety of your family seriously. That is why we have created a household repair product that is 100% safe and toxin-free.

Happy fixing!
