Eco-Friendly Household Products Guide

It can be difficult to know where to start when you’re trying to go green. There are so many products out there, and it’s hard to know which ones will actually help. However, there are a few items that are incredibly easy to find and simple to use: bamboo toothbrushes, coconut oil, essential oils, vinegar, reusable water bottles and coffee cups—and more! These household products make it easy for anyone to take the first steps towards living sustainably.

Bamboo toothbrush

  • Bamboo is a sustainable material, so bamboo toothbrushes are good for the environment.
  • You can find bamboo toothbrushes at most health food stores and pharmacies.
  • They’re affordable and effective at cleaning your teeth, as well as biodegradable if you choose to throw them away after use (instead of recycling them).

Cleansing Dishwashing Liquid

Ironically, the most effective dishwashing liquid I’ve ever used is one that you can make at home. The key ingredient is castile soap, which was originally created as a more gentle alternative to harsher cleaning products. Coconut oil adds a moisturizing element and makes this dishwashing liquid smell like dessert (in a good way).

@ingredients

  • Coconut oil
  • Organic castile soap (I use Dr. Bronner’s)
  • Water, approximately 2/3 of the total amount of liquid in your finished product. The exact amount will depend on how much you want to make, but I would suggest starting with 1 cup of each ingredient and then adjusting based on your personal preference.
  • Essential oil(s), optional

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is a natural cleanser, moisturizer, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Coconut oil can help you cleanse your skin without drying it out. It also helps remove dead cells from your skin’s surface so that new ones can …

But let’s be honest: sustainable clothing isn’t cheap. And if you’re on a budget, it can be difficult to find pieces that aren’t made from materials that are harmful to the environment — or even worse, toxic textiles with chemicals that can lead to illness, allergic reactions, and more. Fortunately for us all (and especially those with limited funds), there are many ways you can make your own sustainable clothing at home using just basic sewing skills and some cheap materials from around your house! Here are five great ideas for making sustainable clothes without breaking the bank:

Start with a base fabric that’s already eco-friendly.
