20 Simple Tips to Detox Your Home & Keep it Healthy

Keeping your home clean and disinfected is key to avoiding sickness-causing germs — but here’s the catch: many conventional cleaning products actually contain toxic ingredients that can make you sick. For example, fragranced cleaning products often contain phthalates but aren’t required to list them on ingredient labels. Phthalates are linked to hormone-disruption and other scary health risks. The good news? You don’t need to trade health for cleanliness. Here are 20 simple, effective ways to detox your home and keep it sparkling without harsh chemicals, using Force of Nature.

Quick Takeaways: How to Detox Your Home

• Use non-toxic cleaners on toys, baby gear, and lunchboxes
• Freshen up outdoor, fitness & active gear without harmful chemicals
• Remove stains & odors from clothes, rugs, and upholstery
• Keep kitchens & bathrooms sanitized and disinfected without risky ingredients
• Choose safer, reusable products for a healthier home

Babies & Kids

1. Bath Toys

Keeping young kids healthy is every parent’s main priority, but conventional disinfectants aren’t safe to use when you’re around children, especially those young enough to put objects in their mouths. Force of Nature is gentle enough to spray right on a bath toy without rinsing. Clean bath toys by spraying with Force of Nature a few times a week. If you have the squirty kind, pour some Force of Nature in a cup, fill the toy with the solution, and shake to reach all the nooks and crannies where bacteria can hide.

2. Baby Toys & Teethers

Pacifiers, teethers, and baby toys end up in a lot of places — and in your baby’s mouth. Give your little one’s toys a spray down with Force of Nature after they hit the floor or grocery cart to kill germs and viruses. No need to rinse.

3. Diaper Bags

The catch-all that catches stuff you might not want it to — like spilled milk or seriously gross germs from the floor. Spray your diaper bag down inside and out to clean and freshen.

4. Children’s Toys

Legos, trains, squishy window-sticking toys, and even “treasures” (read: trash) from a morning walk — all can be sprayed down with Force of Nature to kick germs to the curb.

5. Humidifiers

Doctors recommend them when kids are sick — but cleaning them is another story. After each use, empty the humidifier, spray in Force of Nature, shake it around, then empty to let it dry naturally. No rinsing needed before refilling with fresh water.

6. Backpacks & Lunch Boxes

Lunchboxes touch everything — from bus floors to school bathrooms. Gross, right? Spray down backpacks and lunchboxes with Force of Nature to keep them fresh and clean.

7. Thermoses, Straw Cups & Sippy Cups

Notoriously tricky to clean with all those parts and seals. Spray them thoroughly, then fill with some Force of Nature, reassemble, shake, and empty. Avoid dishwashers, which can release toxins from plastics.

Outdoor & Active Gear

8. Patio Furniture

Spray directly onto fabric to remove mildew and mold stains without harsh chemicals. Test a small spot first, then soak and let dry. Avoid stain-repellent coatings like Scotchgard, which often contain PFAS.

9. Yoga Mats

Spray down after each session — Force of Nature removes odor and germs to keep your mat fresh and namaste-ready.

10. Camping Gear

Sleeping bags, tents, boots, and packs can get funky and are tough to wash. Spray them down after each trip, air dry, and store them clean and fresh.

Clothing & Upholstery

11. Front Load Washers

Spray gaskets and seals after every load to prevent mold and mildew from forming in those hard-to-reach spots.

12. Cloth Diapers & Reusable Towels

Soak in Force of Nature for 10 minutes after removing solids and before washing. No toxic residue or fumes left behind — and fully disinfected.

13. Furniture & Rug Stains

Spot-test first, then spray and blot stains like juice or wine. For pet accidents, saturate, scrub, and let dry naturally to remove both stains and odors.

14. Cars

From crumbs to mystery smells, Force of Nature helps you un-stick, un-gunk, and un-stink upholstery, cup holders, and all the hard-to-reach areas of your car.

Bathroom

15. Toothbrushes

Spray daily and shake off excess — no need to rinse.

16. Makeup Brushes

Spray regularly to kill bacteria that can lead to breakouts. Fun fact: Force of Nature is 100% Top Allergen Free, according to the Mayo Clinic’s SkinSafe database.

Kitchen

17. The Fridge

From spills to smells, Force of Nature cleans and disinfects your fridge. No rinsing before replacing food.

18. Sponges

Your kitchen sponge is one of the germiest things in your house. Spray daily and replace often.

Pets & High-Touch Areas

19. Pet Beds, Crates & Toys

Spray down stinky beds, crate liners, toys, and even litter boxes. Many veterinary products use hypochlorous acid — the same ingredient in Force of Nature!

20. Hands & Door Knobs

Spray knobs, handles, and even your hands when soap & water aren’t available. Let air dry — and stop germs in their tracks.
