Looking to live a more natural lifestyle without flipping your whole world upside down? One of the easiest ways to start is by swapping out common household products for non-toxic, eco-friendly alternatives.

Below are 10 everyday items you can switch for better-for-you options — all available on Amazon or directly from Fawn Valley Farm and Apiary – and simple enough to work into your daily routine.

---

1. Fabric Softener Sheets → Wool Dryer Balls

Conventional dryer sheets often contain synthetic fragrances and chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin. Wool dryer balls are a reusable, natural alternative — and they can cut drying time, too.

 Try this: WoollyPals Dryer Balls (6-Pack, XL Size) – 100% New Zealand Wool – No More Dryer Sheets – Eco Dryer Balls

2. Plastic Food Wrap → Beeswax Wraps

Say goodbye to clingy plastic. Beeswax wraps are washable, compostable, and great for storing snacks, cheese, veggies, or covering bowls.

 Try this: Bee’s Wrap Reusable Food Wraps

---

3. Liquid Dish Soap → Solid Dish Soap Bars

Most dish soaps are filled with artificial dyes and skin-drying agents. A solid bar made from natural oils is just as effective — and better for your hands and the planet.

4. Plastic Sponges → Natural Dish Brushes

Synthetic sponges are bacteria magnets and end up in landfills. Wooden dish brushes with plant-based bristles are biodegradable and easy to sanitize.

 Try this: Natural Dish Brush, 3 Replacement Heads, Kitchen Eco Bamboo Scrubber Brushes, Extra Plant Sponge, Plastic Free Washing Up, Zero Waste Cleaning

---

5. Conventional Toothpaste → Natural Toothpaste

Many mainstream toothpastes contain artificial sweeteners, fluoride, and harsh foaming agents. Natural toothpastes use plant-based ingredients and essential oils for a cleaner clean.

 Try this: NOBS (No Bad Stuff) Toothpaste Tablets – Nano Hydroxyapatite, Fluoride & Plastic Free, Eco & Travel Friendly

---

6. Synthetic Air Fresheners → Essential Oil Diffuser

Aerosol sprays and plug-ins can release VOCs into the air. Diffusers with essential oils are a cleaner, healthier way to freshen up your space.

 Try this: Premium, Essential Oil Diffuser with Remote Control

---

7. Paper Towels → Reusable Swedish Dishcloths

Cut back on paper waste with reusable dishcloths. They’re super absorbent and quick-drying — plus, they can be tossed in the wash when dirty.

 Try this: FEBU Swedish Dishcloths for Kitchen

---

8. Plastic Water Bottles → Stainless Steel Reusable Bottles

Help reduce plastic waste and avoid chemicals like BPA by switching to a stainless steel or glass water bottle.

 Try this: Bambaw 32 oz Water Bottle

---

9. Chemical Household Cleaners → Natural All-Purpose Spray

Natural cleaners work just as well as chemical ones — without the toxic fumes. Bonus: they’re safe for pets and kids.

 Try this: Branch Basics Cleaning Essentials Kit

---

10. Scented Candles → Beeswax Candles

Paraffin wax candles release soot and toxins when burned. Beeswax candles burn cleanly, last longer, and actually help purify the air.
