Everyday habits and products—from scented candles to packaged foods—can introduce hidden toxins into our living spaces. Over time, these residues build up and impact indoor air quality, contributing to headaches, allergies, and respiratory issues. The good news is that creating a safer, more breathable home doesn’t require sweeping renovations.

Your “eco” buy might be a clever costume. As climate concern drives more people to choose greener products, brands are shouting sustainability louder than their actions justify. The demand for planet-friendly goods has created fertile ground for greenwashing and clever marketing that misleads shoppers. This guide gives you clear knowledge and practical steps to identify genuinely sustainable products and avoid the ones merely wearing a green disguise.

Our homes are meant to be places of comfort, safety, and restoration. Yet, without us realising, certain areas can quietly collect chemical residues from everyday products — from the cleaners we spray to the packaging our food comes in. Over time, these invisible build-ups can affect the air we breathe and, in turn, our health.
