042: Green Cleaning Made Easy

042: Green Cleaning Made Easy

Identifying the 3 most toxic cleaning products in our homes, then replacing them with easy swaps.

“It’s a common misconception that the government is very carefully regulating everything that’s out there. They really aren’t.”

It’s high-time we safeguard our families from harmful products assumed to be safe.

As a bonus? Doing so declutters the spaces under our sinks + rids our homes of excess plastic, too.

My guest this week is Micaela Preston. She’s a concerned mom + author who has spent the last 12 years researching the risks associated with common household items.

When it comes to our go-to cleaning products, Micaela’s here to give us a collective wake-up call.

On today’s episode, Micaela identifies the 3 most toxic cleaning products in our homes; she offers easy-peasy swaps for absolutely everyone, too.

Enjoy!
