Episode notes
Switch To Soap-Based Household Cleaners
- Replace conventional disinfectants with soap-based surfactant cleaners to avoid harsh chemicals and resistant superbugs.
- Use one multipurpose cleaner in varied concentrations instead of many specialized chemical cleaners.
Cut Synthetic Fragrances Indoors
- Eliminate synthetic fragrances like scented candles, car air fresheners, and dryer sheets from your environment.
- Avoid them because they commonly contain phthalates that disrupt endocrine function.
Use Non-Toxic Laundry Products
- Switch to non-toxic laundry detergents and stop using dryer sprays and plastic-covered pods.
- These products stay in clothes and increase daily chemical exposure while you wear and sleep in them.
