Q: I want to de-tox my home but can't afford to replace everything at once. Where should I start?
A: Most of us have to work within a budget so if you're looking to overhaul your home here are some tips to prioritising your purchases. Begin by replacing those products that you use at least every day and/or remain on your skin for an extended period such as handwash, dishwashing liquid, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, cleanser & moisturisers. Next, replace your laundry powder, hand cream & cleaning products. If you have young children crawling or playing on the floor then using a non-toxic floor cleaner is important otherwise babies are taking the chemical cleaning residue straight to their mouth throughout each day. If you have babies or children, put their needs first on the list as they are most vulnerable to the effects of toxic chemicals - ensure you have the basics including a non-toxic bath wash, shampoo, conditioner and moisture lotion.
