How to Build a Toxin-Free Home: 5 Simple Switches That Work

A Safe Home Begins with Small, Smart Choices

We all want a clean, healthy home.
But did you know that many everyday cleaning products contain toxic ingredients that can pollute your indoor air, irritate your skin, and harm the environment?

At DuoGreen, we believe a clean home should never come at the cost of your family’s health or the planet’s future.

Ready to detox your home?
Here are 5 easy, effective switches you can start with today.

1. Swap Synthetic Floor Cleaners for Plant-Based Ones

Most conventional floor cleaners contain bleach, ammonia, and artificial fragrances that linger in your air and may trigger headaches, allergies, or asthma.

Try this instead:
🌿 DuoGreen’s Herbal Floor Cleaner

• Neem & Lemongrass formula
• Antibacterial, biodegradable
• Safe for babies and pets

2. Ditch Harsh Dish Wash Liquids for Gentle Alternatives

Your regular dish wash might look harmless — but many contain SLES, artificial dyes, and fragrances that leave residue on utensils and irritate hands.

Try this instead:
🌱 DuoGreen Dish Wash Gel

• Free from sulfates and parabens
• Gentle on hands, tough on grease
• Packaged in refillable bottles

3. Say No to Synthetic Room Fresheners

Commercial air fresheners are often loaded with phthalates and VOC-emitting chemicals. They don’t remove odour — they mask it.

Try this instead:
🍃 Essential oil diffusers or sprays
Use lavender, lemon, or eucalyptus oils for a natural, calming fragrance.

4. Use Eco Laundry Solutions

Conventional detergents are packed with optical brighteners, synthetic surfactants, and formaldehyde-based preservatives — harmful for your skin and waterways.

Try this instead:
🧺 DuoGreen Liquid Detergent

• Plant-based, biodegradable
• Gentle on fabric and skin
• Greywater-safe, refill-friendly

5. Replace Plastic Brushes & Sponges

Plastic scrubs shed microplastics into water. Over time, they harm marine life and enter our food chain.

Try this instead:
🪥 Coconut fibre scrubs, bamboo brushes, or cellulose sponges
They’re compostable and just as effective!
