Hey ladies!

Your bathroom should be a place of relaxation and self-care, but it can also harbor hidden toxins that impact your health. At CSDS, I believe in designing low-tox, healthy living spaces that not only look great but promote well-being. Here are the top ways to detox your bathroom and create a space that’s free from harmful chemicals and toxins.

1. Filter Your Shower and Tub Water

Tap water often contains chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants that can harm your skin and hair. Install a filter like Aqua Bliss for your shower and Crystal Quest for your tub to remove impurities and enjoy cleaner, healthier water.

2. Swap Out Toxic Personal Care Products

Many shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and body washes contain harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. Switch to cleaner, non-toxic alternatives to protect your skin and overall health. Bonus: You’ll get softer skin and hair, too!

3. Run Your Exhaust Fan After Showers

To prevent mold from forming in your bathroom, it’s essential to ventilate. Run the exhaust fan (with the door closed) for 15-20 minutes after your shower to reduce moisture buildup and minimize the risk of mold growth. Mold can be a serious health hazard, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues. Bonus if you run your AirDoctor afterwards too (see next tip!)

4. Improve Air Quality with an Air Filter

Indoor air pollution is real, and your bathroom can be a culprit due to chemical-laden products and moisture. Run an AirDoctor air filter (get yours with my discount link!) to remove toxins, mold spores, and allergens. Don’t have an AirDoctor? Any high-quality air filter will help purify the air and keep your bathroom fresh. Use my link above to score a sweet deal on an AirDictor!

5. Choose OEKOTEX-certified or Organic Linens

Your skin absorbs what you put on it, so choose towels and washcloths made from OEKOTEX-certified or organic materials free from harmful dyes and chemicals. This simple swap can reduce your exposure to toxins while providing a softer, more luxurious feel.

6. Create a Detox Bath

Turn your bath into a detoxifying experience by using magnesium flakes and Epsom salts. These natural bath additives can help soothe sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and draw out toxins, giving you a relaxing and restorative soak. Be sure they are high-quality and from a reputable brand without any added chemicals or fragrances (high-quality, organic essentials are just fine but I prefer un-scented)

7. Ditch Toxic Cleaning Chemicals

Conventional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals that linger in your bathroom. Swap them out for vinegar, baking soda, or non-toxic alternatives like Molly Suds Oxygen Boost and Mama Suds All-Purpose Cleaner. These products are tough on dirt and grime but gentle on your health.

8. Be Mold-Conscious with Porous Items

Mold loves moisture, so be mindful of what you keep in your bathroom. Avoid porous items like fake florals, fabric decor, or even certain bath mats, as they can easily trap moisture and lead to mold growth. Instead, opt for materials that dry quickly and don’t hold onto water.

9. Use a Less Toxic Shower Curtain or Liner

Most shower curtains and liners are made with PVC, which off-gases harmful chemicals into the air. Go for natural materials like cotton or linen for your curtain (bonus points for organic), and if you need an additional liner, choose a PEVA option, which is much safer than traditional plastic.

10. Swap Your Makeup for Non-Toxic Options

Many beauty products are loaded with endocrine disruptors and toxic ingredients. Make the switch to non-toxic makeup that’s safer for your health, like Crunchi (use my discount link!). It’s a small change that can make a big impact on your overall wellness.

By making these simple swaps, you can detox your bathroom and transform it into a healthier, low-tox environment. Ready to start your detox journey? Visit my blog for more tips and exclusive discounts on the best clean living products!
