Why Start with Eco Friendly Products?

Because sustainability isn’t just about saving the planet—it’s about creating a home that feels better. When you replace wasteful, single-use products with reusable and beautifully designed alternatives, you create routines that are cleaner, greener, and way more joyful.

Plus, the right eco friendly products aren’t just good for the Earth—they’re often better for your health, your wallet, and your aesthetic.

2. Choose Natural Cleaning Tools

Skip the plastic sponges and go for natural scrubbers like loofahs, coconut fiber brushes, or compostable cloths. They're just as effective—and way more sustainable.

3. Refill Instead of Repurchase

Instead of buying new cleaning sprays every month, purchase concentrated cleaners and store them in your refillable bottles. Bonus points for choosing plant-based, non-toxic formulas.

Seek out your favorite local refillary and stock up on bulk cleaning and personal care products; a great way to save plastic, support your local small businesses and get great eco-friendly products.

4. Upgrade to Reusable Kitchen Swaps

Swapping out plastic wrap for beeswax wraps, or paper towels for reusable cloths, cuts down on waste and keeps your kitchen looking charming and curated.

5. Choose Sustainable Scents

Skip synthetic air fresheners and candles filled with chemicals. Opt for soy-based candles, essential oil diffusers, or DIY stovetop potpourri with herbs and citrus.

6. Laundry, But Make It Low Waste

Switch to wool dryer balls instead of sheets, and try detergent sheets or refillable detergent jars instead of bulky plastic jugs.

7. Eco Friendly Self-Care

From bamboo toothbrushes to refillable body wash containers, the eco lifestyle can easily extend into your daily self-care rituals. Start with just one swap and build from there.
