Ever wondered what makes a home inviting? Often, it's not just the decor but also the fragrance that adds to the ambience. However, in our quest for that perfect home scent, are we compromising our health and the environment? This blog post aims to shed light on the importance of sustainable home fragrance options, including our best-selling KitchTool product, Scented Woolies.
The Importance of Home Fragrances
A home's fragrance does more than just make the air smell good—it creates an atmosphere. Scents have the power to evoke memories, install a sense of calm, and even energise a space. They're as integral to home decor as your choice of furniture or paint colour.
Why Sustainable Options are the Need of the Hour
As our understanding of climate change and environmental sustainability grows, it becomes increasingly important to consider the ecological footprint of all our lifestyle choices, home fragrances included. What’s the point of a home that smells like lavender fields if the products you're using are damaging those very fields, right?
The Problems with Traditional Home Fragrances / Air Fresheners
Chemical Compositions
Many conventional air fresheners and scented candles are full of chemicals like phthalates and synthetic fragrances. These compounds are not just harmful to you but can also be toxic to pets. Prolonged exposure can lead to health issues like allergies, asthma, and even endocrine disruption.
Single-Use Plastics
It's not just what's inside that counts; it's also how it’s packaged. Many home fragrances come in single-use plastic bottles or containers, contributing to our already overflowing landfills. It’s an environmental double whammy.
