Clean Lifestyle: 5 Easy Swaps That’ll Tidy Your Home & Mind

This guide is meant to provide 5 quick, simple swaps to get started living a cleaner, tidier lifestyle. 

Living a clean lifestyle isn’t just about spotless counters or sparkling windows—it’s about creating an environment that supports your well-being. A clean home nurtures a clear mind, and these five simple swaps are an easy way to start living cleaner, feeling lighter, and breathing easier every day.

1. Swap Those Ugly Plastic Bottles for Refillable Stylish Designer Dispensers

Soap and cleaning product companies focus on creating products that work well and smell nice and most of the time the packaging is an afterthought and not meant to last. Designer bottling companies like Joie Designs focus on creating long lasting, beautiful bottle designs that you can use to make your house look upscale and organized. Ditch the mismatched plastic bottles and upgrade to coordinated, refillable options like these Modern Black Refillable Shampoo & Conditioner Dispenser Sets to reduce visual and environmental clutter. They’re sleek, sustainable, and made to simplify your shower, bathroom and kitchen routine.

2. Trade Paper Towels for Reusable Cloths

One of the easiest clean lifestyle upgrades is swapping disposable paper towels for washable cloths. Keep a stash of neutral-toned microfiber or cotton cloths in a countertop basket to make the switch effortless and aesthetic. 

3. Replace Harsh Cleaners with Non-Toxic Sprays

Clean doesn’t have to mean chemical-heavy. Choose non-toxic, biodegradable cleaners with natural scents like eucalyptus or lemon from companies like Branch Basics. To make it even more stylish and eco friendly, use refillable designer bottles to coordinate different rooms in your home and purchase the concentrates and refill bulk packs to save on using single use plastic. You can store them in Joie Designs stylish glass or plastic reusable containers

4. Opt for Minimalist Storage Over Plastic Bins

Instead of bulky plastic bins, opt for woven baskets, ceramic jars, or glass containers for visible storage. A tidy space that’s thoughtfully styled promotes calm and discourages excess.

5. Choose Multi-Use Natural Products

A clean lifestyle is also about simplifying your shopping. You can use multi-purpose products like castile soap, vinegar, or baking soda to clean everything from counters to mirrors and everything in between; it's a simple and cost effective options for cleaning your home with fewer products. Fewer products = less clutter and less waste.
