Ditch Those Dryer Sheets #Swapped4YL

This week we are talking about one of the first things I ditched to rid our home of unnecessary chemicals - 

Dryer Sheets

Did you know that dryer sheets aren't required to list ingredients? Yup! Several studies have determined dryer sheets contain chemicals that are known ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS (endocrine system includes: hormones, thyroid, weight management system, fertility and more). The chemicals also inflame asthma issues, headaches and irritate skin.

There's a cheaper and better way!! 

I switched our family to wool dryer balls. (There's an affiliate link to the ones like we got on Amazon on the right of this page) Our clothes come out dry and fluffy, just like before, but without the chemicals. I add Young Living lavender essential oil when washing PJ's and towels, purification blend for a smelly load, gentle baby for the kiddos, and I can change the scents to match the mood or season. I've not missed the dryer sheets at all- nor the cost! 

Please - DO YOUR RESEARCH, check the brand you are using on EWG.org site and see how it ranks. I did my research and determined they aren't worth the cost or risk to my family. You can read more details about our health issues and WHY we decided to ditch household chemicals in my "WHY" post.

Here's a few articles to answer your questions about dyer sheets and how they affect you, the kiddos and even pets: from Dr. Axe, from Healthy Living, & The Spruce.

Ditch the Chemicals and swap for Young Living Essential Oils! 

Young Living sells chemical free cleaners, laundry detergent, soap, tooth paste, sunscreen, deodorant, baby wipes, etc. in case you do not enjoy the adventure of making it yourself. (See my other posts and videos to see the products I DIY for our home)
