Introduction:

A sparkling home doesn’t have to come at the cost of your health or the planet. Many traditional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that can irritate skin, trigger allergies, and harm the environment. The good news? You can switch to eco-friendly alternatives without sacrificing cleanliness.

Main Content:

  1. All-Purpose Spray → Vinegar & Water Mix
    A 50/50 mix works wonders on counters, glass, and even stainless steel.

  2. Paper Towels → Reusable Microfiber Cloths
    They trap dust better, last longer, and cut down on waste.

  3. Chemical Air Fresheners → Essential Oils
    A diffuser with lavender, citrus, or eucalyptus keeps rooms smelling fresh naturally.

  4. Bleach Cleaners → Hydrogen Peroxide
    A safer alternative for disinfecting bathrooms and kitchens.

  5. Plastic Sponges → Plant-Based Scrubbers
    Compostable scrubbers made from coconut fibers or loofah work just as well.

  6. Floor Cleaners → Castile Soap Solution
    Gentle, effective, and safe for kids and pets.

  7. Dryer Sheets → Wool Dryer Balls
    Cuts static and keeps laundry soft — chemical-free.

Conclusion:

Making even a few of these swaps can reduce toxins in your home and help the environment. At FreshNest, we’re proud to use eco-friendly products in every service, ensuring your home is safe, fresh, and sustainable.
