LOCAL BUSINESS Give your new year detox the green light With research indicating that indoor air pollution is over 3 times more polluted than outdoor air pollution in the UK and 45% of homes are showing significantly increased levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (found in many home cleaning and personal care products), we asked a local eco-friendly business, Eco-Homemaker, their thoughts on this. “With two young children ourselves, we know that for parents there’s nothing more important than creating a safe environment and taking care of health and hygiene in their homes. But whilst many of us think a clean house means a safe house, we are often not made aware of the harmful toxins and chemicals found in our high street cleaning and personal care products.” Victoria, co-founder explains. “Sadly, this is evident when you look at your cleaning product labels and find ‘hazardous’ or ‘corrosive’ warnings. With the new year detox period upon us, now is a great time to reflect on how you can make small changes that could make a significant impact on you and your family’s health.” Eco-Homemaker’s top tips to detox your home: • Use naturally derived surface cleaning products and look out for non-toxic sprays and bleach alternatives • Replace your washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and rinse aid in your kitchens with naturally derived alternatives • Use plastic-free cloths, sponges and where possible replace plastic bottles/containers with glass, stainless steel, ceramic or wood • Use soaps and shampoo bars made only with naturally derived ingredients • Go for natural materials where possible in the bedroom – wooden bed frames, a mattress or topper made of natural materials, natural fibres for bed linen, sheets, duvets and pillows • Use toxin free paints and stains for walls and furniture Eco-Homemaker, an online shopping platform, is on a mission to make your life easier when it comes to eco-friendly shopping for your family. They stock refillable non-toxic cleaning products such as a bleach alternative, anti-bac surface cleaners, oven cleaner, glass cleaner and floor cleaner – and all have been meticulously tried and tested so you can be assured of their effectiveness. 14 Amersham & Chalfonts Together is part of Community Together
