Typically, they are full of harsh chemicals that are bad for our bodies and have adverse environmental effects. However, we have a few ways to reduce plastic use and the overall ecological and household impacts.By making our own cleaning products, we reduce the environmental impact and create a healthy living space for ourselves and our families.
