Non-toxic or low-tox household items
16
items I have tried over the last few years to switch to low-tox or non-toxic items around my house, not only for myself, but for my kids and dog, too! Here are some of my mainstays 🏡
I have reusable foaming hand soap dispensers in our bathrooms and love to use this affordable fragrance-free refill from Target for them.
Foaming Hand Soap Refill - Free and Clear - 28 fl oz - Everspring™
I love this Seventh Generation dish soap. I put it in a refillable dish soap dispenser. It’s fragrance-free and works really well!
Seventh Generation Free & Clear Liquid Dish Soap - 50 fl oz
This is the only site I’ve found this seventh generation dishwasher detergent gel on for an affordable price. For whatever reason, it’s hard to find but we use a lot of silicone products and this is the only dishwasher detergent I’ve found that doesn...
Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Gel Free & Clear -- 42 fl oz
Stasher bags are the best! We use them for so many different things. You don’t have to use them all just for food, either! They are virtually leak proof and you can use them in the freezer, sous vide and they are dishwasher safe! They are pricey up f...
Stasher
These straws are the absolute best. I’ve had them for YEARS and they are still in perfect condition. They are dishwasher safe and soft but can withstand all different types of drinks. Metal straws make me nervous for my and my family’s teeth and mout...
GoSili Reusable Silicone Travel Straws 4pk
This stainless steel lunchbox is great for kids. It holds a lot and is all ONE piece so I can just throw the entire thing in my dishwasher.
Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Lunch Box - Purple
A great eco-friendly option for replacing tin foil or parchment paper when baking. I have these in a few different sizes and just throw them in the dishwasher after use!
Amazon Basics Silicone Baking Mat, 16.5x11.6, 2-Pack
My kids love these! They each pick a color and love to see what it mixes up to be. I love that they are fragrance-free and non-toxic.
Honeysticks Bath Color Tablets for Kids - 36 Drops
I use this bar soap with a washcloth. The lavender is essential oil based and it lasts FOREVER. Super affordable, plastic-free option for hand or body soap.
Dr. Bronner's All-One Pure-Castile Magic Bar Soap - Lavender - 5oz
Dr. Bronners is seriously the best. You can use their magic soap or this soap for legitimately everything. I even use this one to wash produce on occasion. It’s so versatile!
Dr. Bronner's Siberian Fir & Spruce Sal Suds Biodegradable Cleaner - 16 fl oz
I love Pura. This one may be controversial, but Pura does claim to be safe for humans and pets. They have their plug-ins and scents for sale at Target, but you can also find so many more scents on the Pura website or app. I particularly love seasonal...
Pura V4 Smart Fragrance Diffuser
For times I know I can’t use my stasher bags, these compostable bags from Target are a great option. I feel better that they can be composted rather than sit in a landfill forever.
Matter Compostable Sandwich Bags - 50ct
I donated or retired all of my black cooking utensils and switched to these wood and silicone ones. They are affordable and clean so easily. Food doesn’t stick to them like it did with the black utensils!
11Pc White Silicone Cooking Utensils Set
Although I love that other types of cutting boards can go in the dishwasher, after I found out how many microplastics go into your food when you use plastic cutting boards, I switched to this one. I love that it has little silicone corners that help ...
Farberware Bamboo Cutting Board 11x14 White
I love how versatile these are. I mainly use them to cover dishes in my microwave instead of plastic wrap. They are easy to clean in the dishwasher!
Safe Grabs Silicone Microwave Mat Set of 2
Another great non-toxic laundry option. I use these instead of dryer sheets and they last forever (I’ve had mine for years!!). Sometimes I’ll dab a few drops of an essential oil on them if I am missing that “fresh” laundry smell.
100% New Zealand Wool Dryer Balls - 3ct - Everspring™
