Kid-Friendly Home Tips

Our homes are naturally filled with toxins. Here are 5 tips to keep your home kid-friendly.

Choose as many organic foods as possibly. Many of the produce you purchase is filled with toxins and sprays and choosing organic can eliminate that exposure. Also pass up on fast foods and highly processed foods.
Use natural cleaners and personal care products. Try to purchase ones that are labeled chlorine-free, biodegradable, petroleum-free and organic.
Keep those pesty bugs and weeds away with natural insecticides and weed killers. Use natural fertilizers on your lawn and be sure to have your children wash their hand with soap and water after playing outdoors.
Open you windows to air out your house. Change the filters in your air conditioners monthly. Purchase air filters or indoor plants. Don’t forget to empty out your vacuum filters as well.
Replace your children’s plastic toys. Many of these toys are made from certain types of plastic which can leach toxic chemicals with repeated use. Try wooden or metals toys instead.
