Descripción

Non-toxic cleaning doesn't have to be expensive, overwhelming, or take over your entire weekend…and this episode will show you exactly how to keep it simple! We're joined by McKenzie Sonnenberg of Simple Clean Home, and we're breaking down how to switch to DIY non-toxic cleaning products that actually work, without spending hundreds of dollars or filling your cabinets with "green" products that don't deliver. We get into the reality of greenwashing in the cleaning industry, the hidden ingredients to watch for (like synthetic fragrance and ethoxylated compounds) and why a lot of "natural" cleaners aren't as clean as they claim. McKenzie shares how you can replace an entire cabinet of cleaning products for around $25 using simple staples like castile soap, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide, plus the exact beginner-friendly swaps you can start this weekend. We also talk about: * the 3 must-have non-toxic ingredients every home should have * how to make a clean all-purpose spray in under 5 minutes * the truth about vinegar vs. hydrogen peroxide for disinfecting * how to avoid the "non-toxic tax" and save money long-term * the products you can stop buying immediately And, so much more! Whether you're a busy parent, just starting your low-tox journey, or just ready to simplify your routine, this episode will help you clean your home with fewer products, less money and a whole lot more confidence! ✨ if this episode resonated with you, please rate, review, and subscribe to Unapologetically Crunchy for more conversations on holistic and spiritual wellness for the mind, body & soul 🙏 ------- you can find McKenzie: + on the web: https://simplecleanhome.myflodesk.com/linkinbio [https://simplecleanhome.myflodesk.com/linkinbio] + on instagram: instagram.com/simple_clean_home [https://www.instagram.com/simple_clean_home/] + show notes & transcript for this episode: https://www.crunchypod.com/episode/mckenzie-sonnenberg [https://www.crunchypod.com/episode/mckenzie-sonnenberg] 👀 you can find us: 🎥 watch → youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@crunchypod] 🎧 listen → spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/6otiofTjNCJASvDFQovf2O?si=93b82d26003c4ff7], apple podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-crunchy/id1777858979], amazon music [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84e1598f-892e-4b96-abd3-7187754bd94b/unapologetically-crunchy] & iheartradio [https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-unapologetically-crunchy-277046101/] 💌 read → substack [https://crunchypod.substack.com/] (weekly emails & all the extras!) 🤩 follow along with us on our socials! instagram → @crunchypod [https://www.instagram.com/crunchypod/] facebook → crunchypod [https://www.facebook.com/crunchypod] youtube → @crunchypod [https://www.youtube.com/@crunchypod] 📝 on the web → crunchypod.com [http://crunchypod.com/] 💫connect with karl → uncommonstandpoint.substack.com [http://uncommonstandpoint.substack.com] 💜peace, love + CRUNCH!
