Want to easily improve the air quality of your home?
Remove the toxic “air fresheners”

You have been lied to. Every company selling you something that’s an “air freshener” is actually polluting your air. We should be calling these things "air-polluters"!

Before you get an air purifier you can do this to greatly improve the air quality in your home:
Remove all of the toxic “air fresheners”

Most consumer goods that emit some type of fragrance are more than likely highly toxic. I'm talking about the plug-ins, the sprays, the candles, the diffusers, the wax-melts, the laundry scent beads, the car scent tree hangers.... all of it.

These contain endocrine disruptors, respiratory irritants, carcinogens and other toxins. For example, phthalates, an endocrine disruptor known to affect fetal development and reproduction/fertility is used in these products to help the smell linger for a longer period of time. When we are exposed to an environmental toxin like this from several sources in our home (not to mention all of the personal care products this may be in ... lotion...shampoo... makeup) we are receiving a large dose of a very dangerous toxin.

In one study, a plug-in air freshener was found to emit 20 different volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including seven that are regulated as toxic or hazardous under U.S. federal laws. These chemicals won’t be listed on a label, instead you will see “fragrance”. The actual composition of the fragrance is considered a “trade secret.” There can be thousands of ingredients in the one word "fragrance" that you see on the label. It is a good idea to stay away from any product that you see that lists “fragrance” as an ingredient. That is a sign of a company that is not being transparent and likely hurting you and your family.

Poor air quality is associated with many chronic diseases. It contributes to cardiovascular disorders which are the leading cause of death in the US, respiratory disorders, and even contributes to type 2 diabetes, which is the most expensive chronic disease on our health care system.

Stop buying these products and you’ll save a ton of money and be healthier.

Having clean air, floor and surfaces will make your home spell good.

Simmering a pot of water with natural good-smelling things like lemon, cinnamon, cloves etc is also a healthy way to have your home smelling good.
