Switch and Ditch!
Why You Should Switch to Natural Cleaning Products
In a world where convenience often comes at the cost of our health and the environment, making the switch to natural cleaning products is a simple yet powerful step toward a healthier home and environment. At Your Home, Naturally, we believe that cleaning should be safe, effective, and sustainable — without the hidden dangers of toxic chemicals.
Better for Your Health
Many conventional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that can trigger skin irritation, respiratory issues, and even long-term health problems. If you’ve ever felt lightheaded or noticed a rash after using certain cleaners, those chemicals could be the culprit.
Natural cleaning products, on the other hand, are made from simple, recognizable ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, and essential oils. They clean effectively without the harmful side effects. Our homemade products are:
Non-toxic – Safe for you, your whanau, and even your pets
Fragrance-free – No artificial scents or overpowering chemical smells
Gentle on skin – Ideal for sensitive skin and those with allergies
Better for the Environment
Conventional cleaning products don’t just affect your home — they also harm the environment. When you rinse chemical-laden cleaners down the drain, they often end up in waterways, affecting marine life and polluting ecosystems. Plastic packaging from these products also contributes to landfill waste.
Natural cleaning products, like those from Your Home, Naturally, are biodegradable and safe for septic and greywater systems. Plus, we use refillable glass jars and encourage customers to reduce plastic waste by refilling their products with our bulk refill options. We also encourage you to reuse bottles and glass containers, adding our labels for a more pleasing look.
Simple, Affordable, and Effective
Homemade cleaning products don’t have to be expensive or complicated. In fact, many of the most effective natural ingredients — like washing soda, oxygen bleach, and rock salt — are affordable and easy to use.
Our Dishwasher Powder, for example, is made with just three simple ingredients:
Washing Soda Ash – Cuts through grease and grime
Oxygen Bleach – Lifts stains and brightens dishes
Rock Salt – Softens water for a streak-free finish
A single jar lasts for up to 90 washes, giving you a sparkling clean at a fraction of the cost of conventional products — without the environmental impact.
A Natural Choice for a Healthier Home
Switching to natural cleaning products isn’t just about avoiding harmful chemicals — it’s about creating a home that feels cleaner, safer, and more connected to nature. When you use products made from simple, natural ingredients, you know exactly what’s in them and how they work.
At Your Home, Naturally, we’re here to help you make that transition. Our workshops teach you how to make your own natural cleaning products using safe, effective ingredients — because cleaning shouldn’t cost the earth.
