5 Steps to a Clean Living Room
One step at a time
Let's start on down this list.
All items linked in this post are used in my home.
Air Purifier
1. When I bought new furniture and rugs, I purchased 2 air purifiers as well. Furniture is sprayed with flame retardant that are highly toxic when inhaled. These chemicals are also found on mattresses and clothing. I bought 2 of the Winix purifiers. I keep one in my bedroom and the other in the living room.
Swap out Candles
2. Unless you are purchasing 100% beeswax candles, I believe you should ditch the candles. I am not even a fan of the soy candles, because a lot of brands still contain fragrances. Pure Haven uses soy, but it is GMO free and there is no fragrance used. Make better decisions with what you burn in your house.
Using Diffusers
3. If you are into essential oils, than you probably already have a diffuser. If you are new to aromatherapy and essential oils, now is the time to take the plunge. Using a diffuser correctly can improve your air quality and can aid in immune boosting. I use essential oils almost daily, but please be aware that essential oils are powerful medicine. They should be treated and used with knowledge and respect. Most diffusers are created equal, but try to buy one that has the night time setting. When using throughout the night, having the diffuser turn on for 10 minutes, than off for 30 minutes.
Essential Oils
4. I have tried most of the oils on the market today. The doterra, young living and most the brands you find on store shelves. I have committed to two brands at this point, Eden Garden & Pure Haven. Eden Garden is a women owned company out of California. I find the most consistency and quality with their oils. Pure Haven makes quality and purity a priority, always testing and sourcing the best ingredients. What do you use? Why?
Furniture
5. Now I wish I had a warehouse to off gas my furniture, or that I could afford homemade, toxin free furniture, but that is not the case. I buy second hand when possible, but I did purchase a new chair and rugs that had terrible off gassing. I woke with a stuffed nose for weeks. Pay attention when furniture buying, and find ways to create less of an impact in your home.
