Natural & Toxic-Free Spring Cleaning Recipes for Healthier Home

We know that having a clean home and surroundings is vital to you and your health, peace of mind and overall wellbeing, helping to ease anxiety and promote good air quality indoors.

Recent studies in the UK have raised concerns about the health risks associated with the use of many traditional cleaning products. A 2024 article in Time magazine warned that frequent use of strong disinfectants can expose individuals, children and pets to harmful chemicals linked to cancers, respiratory issues and hormonal dysfunction.

Many traditional cleaning products including multi-surface, oven, drain cleaners, surface wipes and bleach contain harsh chemicals that irritate your skin and can also harm your home’s health and air quality and also pollute water, harm aquatic life, disrupt ecosystems and contribute to air pollution.

That’s why we’re excited to share our favourite DIY natural and toxic-free recipes to help you make your home to create a healthier home environment for your family, all while saving you money.
