Your house is supposed to be a welcoming environment where you can relax and feel comfortable. However, we occasionally keep unnecessary and even dangerous goods there that take up too much space and have a bad impact on our health.\n
We compiled a list of commonplace items that we should get rid of.\n
Yes, these plastic utensils are light and you don\u2019t have to wash them, but it\u2019s still better to use ordinary dishware since plastic plates and cups are extremely dangerous for our planet. It\u2019s better to spend a few minutes washing your dishware than contribute to plastic pollution.\n
\n
Many lacquers contain toluene, formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, and other hazardous ingredients that can affect our health. Nail artists are more at risk of severe diseases than others: they inhale evaporated chemicals from nail products every day.\n
Get acquainted with all the components in a nail polish before buying it. As for nail salons, it\u2019s better to air all the rooms out as often as possible.\n
We all use extension cords at home and often forget about their operating rules. An overloaded extension cord can cause a fire. What\u2019s more, you may stumble or fall down and get a couple of bruises or even a sprain.\n
The main \u201cingredient\u201d in vinyl wallpaper is polyvinyl chloride (or PVC.) Vinyl wall coverings can release fumes of vinyl chloride. Long-term exposure to low levels of PVC is linked to toxicity in nearly every major living system.\n
Be careful when choosing wallpapers. Try to experiment with paint instead of vinyl wall coverings.\n
We always try to make our home look cozy, but nothing ruins nice decor as much as temporary furniture which is usually bought to fill up space. Don\u2019t buy this kind of furniture in order to replace it with better pieces later. Instead, buy classic pieces of furniture that don\u2019t lose their value as time passes.\n
It\u2019s not recommended to use expired makeup products since they won\u2019t work the way that they should. For example, SPF lotion won\u2019t protect your skin, BB cream will be almost transparent, and so on. Sometimes expired makeup can cause skin irritation and acne.\n
\n
Many air fresheners contain toxic chemicals that aren\u2019t listed on the labels.\n
You can replace your air freshener with natural essential oils, sachet, or even fragrance stones that will make your room look and smell really nice.\n
The older we get, the more comfortable our beds should be. When you don\u2019t have to unfold it and there are some soft pillows on it, your sleep will become way better.\n
Scientists warn us that soap spots on a shower curtain are actually bacteria. They can cause different opportunistic infections in people who have a weak immune system. To keep it clean, you have to wash it with baking soda and vinegar on a regular basis.\n
If you have old business card holders, it\u2019s time to throw them away. Today, they look really weird and likely, no one even needs a business card from a company you used to work at 5-10 years ago.\n
Magazine cutouts look really good in a collage or are useful for designers, fashion designers, and other creative people. But it\u2019s time to say goodbye to all those old, dusty magazines that only create a mess.\n
Towels that are stored in a warm and humid bathroom create a wonderful environment for bacteria. It\u2019s better to keep them in a drawer in a room. It\u2019s also recommended to wash bath towels at least once a week and to dry them right after using.\n
Carpets collect dust and it\u2019s crucial to clean them approximately twice a week. That\u2019s why many people have already thrown them away. Additionally, it\u2019s not a good idea to store them rolled up because even rolled carpets collect dust and dirt and take up too much space.\n
Plants can bring warmth to any room but artificial ones are an exception \u2014 don\u2019t buy them even if you don\u2019t want to spend time taking care of real plants. Instead of plastic flowers, get undemanding plants such as cacti or succulents (aloe, echeveria, and so on).\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
