How to edit your home down to the essentials
A cleaner home rarely starts with buying more. It starts with noticing what you already use, and letting the rest go.
1. Start with one room. The bathroom is easiest. Pull everything out of one cabinet and sort it into three piles: use daily, use sometimes, never use.
2. Read the labels on your daily pile. These are the products with the most contact with your skin, air, and food. They're the best place to make a cleaner swap.
3. Replace as you run out. You don't need to throw everything away at once. When something runs out, replace it with a cleaner version instead of the same one.
4. Choose multi-use where you can. One good body butter can cover hands, elbows, and feet. Fewer products means fewer ingredients to keep track of.
5. Start with one thing. That's how AwearMarket began, and it's still the best advice we have. One swap this week is enough.
Fewer, better things. That's the whole idea.
Here are our recommended swaps:
House: Green Llama All Purpose Spray
