Why EWG is Your New Best Friend

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is like a personal guide to healthier living. Whether you’re looking to find safer cleaning products, cosmetics, or even food, EWG has done the homework for you. They rate products based on their safety, so you can make informed decisions that protect your health and the environment.

How to Find Safer Alternatives to Bleach

Step 1: Visit the EWG Website
Head over to EWG’s website. This site is packed with information, but don’t worry—I’ll guide you through it.

Step 2: Search for Safer Products
Type in “laundry stain removers” or “natural bleach alternatives.” EWG will show you a list of products, each with a safety rating. Look for products with high safety scores—they’re the ones that are gentler on your health and the environment.

Step 3: Make the Switch
Found a safer alternative? Great! Consider making the switch and say goodbye to harsh chemicals like bleach. You’ll be doing your lungs—and the planet—a favor.

Say Goodbye to Toxic Furniture Polish

Step 1: Search for Non-Toxic Furniture Polish
On the EWG website, search for “furniture polish.” You’ll see a list of options, with ratings that help you choose the safest one.

Step 2: Check the Ingredients
Look for polishes labeled as non-toxic and free from harsh chemicals. These products clean just as well but won’t leave behind harmful residues in your home.

Step 3: Feel the Difference
By choosing non-toxic polishes, you’re not only protecting your health but also ensuring your home’s air quality stays fresh and clean.

Why Avoiding Harsh Chemicals Matters

You might wonder, "Why should I avoid products like bleach?" Here’s the scoop: Bleach is super effective, but it’s also harsh—it can irritate your skin, eyes, and lungs, and it’s not great for the environment either. Fortunately, there are plenty of natural alternatives that get the job done without the downsides.

Top Alternatives to Bleach:

• Hydrogen Peroxide: Great for whitening and removing stains.
• Baking Soda: A natural stain remover and odor neutralizer.
• White Vinegar: Disinfects, brightens, and softens fabrics.
• Oxygen-Based Bleach: Non-toxic and gentle on fabrics.
