Non-Toxic Household

A cleaner home without the chemical haze.

Conventional cleaning products are a major source of indoor air pollution: synthetic fragrance and VOCs from sprays and air fresheners, chlorine bleach and ammonia that should never be mixed, and paraffin-wax candles that burn petroleum by-products into your living room. "Fragrance" on a cleaning label is just as opaque as it is on a face cream.

Every household product here has been vetted against Sister's blocklist — fully-disclosed ingredients, plant-based surfactants, essential-oil or fragrance-free scenting, and honest packaging claims. Swapping the products you use most often (laundry detergent, washing-up liquid, surface spray) makes the biggest difference fastest.
