Living a more sustainable lifestyle doesn't have to be complicated! Small, simple swaps in your daily routine can make a big difference - especially when it comes to everyday household tasks like cleaning and laundry. By choosing planet friendly alternatives, you can reduce waste, avoid harsh chemicals, and keep your home fresh and clean, all while being kinder to the environment. Ready to make the switch? Here are five easy eco swaps to get started.
1. Swap Toxic PVA-Wrapped Pods for Dish Cubes
Did you know that most dishwasher pods are wrapped in PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol)? While this material dissolves in water, it doesn't fully break down in the environment, contributing to microplastic pollution. Instead, make the switch to Nellie's Dish Cubes - a powerful, PVA-free alternative that delivers the same grease-fighting power without the waste. It's an easy way to keep your dishes sparkling clean while reducing plastic in your home.
2. Swap Liquid Detergent for Laundry Cubes
Traditional liquid laundry detergents often come in bulky plastic bottles filled with water and unnecessary fillers. Instead, opt for Nellie's Laundry Cubes, a highly concentrated, PVA-free detergent that delivers powerful cleaning in a small, waste-free form. These compact cubes dissolve in both hot and cold water, making them a more sustainable (and space-saving) alternative to liquid detergent.
3. Swap Disposable Dish Brushes for a Dish Stick
Plastic dish brushes wear out quickly and end up in landfills. Upgrade to Nellie's Dish Stick, a reusable, refillable and durable alternative that makes scrubbing dishes easy while reducing waste. Its sturdy design helps you power through tough messes without the need for disposable sponges or brushes.
4. Swap Paper Towels for Swedish Dishcloths
Paper towels are convenient, but they create a lot of unnecessary waste. A better alternative? Swedish Dishcloths! These ultra-absorbent, reusable cloths can replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels, making them a more eco-friendly (and budget-friendly) choice. Use them for wiping up spills, cleaning countertops, and even washing dishes. Once they've reached the end of their life, simply compost them.
