Making eco-friendly changes at home doesn’t have to mean ditching electricity or weaving your own toilet paper. At The Harmony Edit, we’re all about balance, low-tox, low-stress, and doing one thing at a time (because you’ve got enough on your plate already).
Here are 5 super simple swaps you can make today!
🐝 1. Swap: Cling Wrap → Beeswax Wraps or Silicone Lids
Switching to reusable wraps or lids keeps your food fresh and your conscience clear.
Bonus: they look cute in your fridge and won’t stick to your elbow!
🧴 2. Swap: Spray Bottles Full of Chemicals → Natural Cleaners or Refills
If your cleaning spray has a warning label longer than your to-do list, it might be time to rethink it. Low-tox cleaners do the job without choking fumes or mystery ingredients you can’t pronounce.
Refillable options? Even better for you and the planet.
We love shopping at The Source Bulkfoods for our low-tox and eco-friendly cleaning products.
🧼 3. Swap: Supermarket Soaps → Plant-Based Bar or Liquid Soaps
No hate to the neon pink soap but your skin (and waterways) deserve better.
Look for gentle, palm-oil free, naturally scented options or better yet, locally made ones. Cleaner hands, cleaner conscience.
🧽 4. Swap: Plastic Dish Brushes → Bamboo or Silicone Bottle Brush
Your dishes don’t need to be scrubbed with plastic forever.
Natural scrubbers are compostable, tough on grime, and weirdly satisfying to use.
Your sink’s about to get a glow-up.
Check out our Silicone Bottle Brush, we think you will love it!
🕯️ 5. Swap: Scented Candles → Natural Soy or Essential Oil Blends
Those “fresh linen” candles are often just chemical cocktails with a wick. Natural soy or beeswax candles (or essential oil diffusers) smell amazing without the toxins.
You can keep the vibe without the chemicals!
The Takeaway?
You don’t need to overhaul your entire home or throw out everything plastic today.
Just start somewhere, one thing at a time, small swaps = big impact.
