Micro Detox Basics
What Micro Detox is — a calm, evidence-calibrated guide to everyday chemicals, materials, and product claims — and what it is not: not medical advice, not a fear campaign, not a supplement seller.
Small Exposures Add Up
The core idea: many everyday products contribute small, repeated exposures. The goal is lowering the cumulative baseline, not panicking about any one item.
What to Check First
The few levers that give the most benefit: heating food in plastic, fragrance on skin and in air, PFAS on waterproof/stain-resistant items, ventilation and dust.
No Fear, No Supplements
Why Micro Detox avoids fearmongering, corrects common myths, and never recommends detox supplements, cleanses, or 'remove these toxins' products.
How to Read Labels
What common label claims actually mean: which are useful (fragrance-free, partial BPA-free), which mislead (unscented, microwave safe), and which flag PFAS (waterproof, stain-resistant).
High-Impact Habits
The few changes that lower the most repeated exposure.
Stop Heating Plastic
Plastic food contact under heat: microwaving, hot leftovers, dishwasher, and scratched containers.
Go Fragrance-Free First
Fragrance in skin products, laundry, cleaning, candles, and air fresheners — the most repeated avoidable exposure.
Skip Air Fresheners
Plug-ins, sprays, reed diffusers, wax melts, and incense — continuous fragrance/VOCs with no function.
Low Cost First Steps
Zero- and low-cost behaviours: ventilating, reheating in glass, shoes off, washing new clothes, declining stain-treatment, e-receipts.
Everyday Exposure
Room through your routine, product type by product type.
Plastic & Food Contact
Plastic containers, water bottles, baby bottles, lunch boxes, canned-food linings, cling wrap, takeaway containers, and food packaging.
Fragrance & Indoor Air
Perfume, scented candles, air fresheners and plug-ins, reed diffusers, scented laundry, and the indoor-air load they create.
Cookware & Heat
Frying pans, bakeware, utensils, and what happens when each material meets high heat.
Laundry & Clothing
Detergents and softeners, synthetic fabrics, wrinkle-free and stain-resistant finishes, and microfibre shedding.
Baby & Kids Products
Baby bottles, wipes, lotions, pacifiers and teethers, toys, sleepwear, and crib mattresses.
Cleaning Products
All-purpose sprays, disinfecting wipes and sprays, bleach and bathroom cleaners, glass cleaner, and dish products.
Personal Care Labels
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, deodorant, perfume, sunscreen, and the fragrance/preservative claims on them.
Oral Care Basics
Toothpaste (including kids'), mouthwash, dental floss, toothbrushes, whitening, and appliances.
Room Resets
Reset one room at a time — no overhaul required.
Kitchen Reset
A room-by-room reset: storage containers, cookware, water bottles, cling film, and food packaging.
Bathroom Reset
Personal-care and oral-care items in the bathroom, plus fragrance sources.
Laundry Reset
Detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets, scent beads, and what they leave on fabric.
Bedroom Reset
Bedding, mattresses and protectors, candles/diffusers, and bedroom dust.
Life Stages
Guidance tuned to pregnancy, sensitive skin, and little ones.
Pregnancy-Friendly Swaps
Food storage, fragrance, cleaning, and personal-care choices that lower everyday exposure during pregnancy.
Sensitive Skin
Fragrance, dyes, and preservatives (MI/MCI, formaldehyde releasers) in skin products and laundry.
Babies & Toddlers
Feeding, skin care, mouthed items, sleepwear, and the air and dust in a child's space.
