The Best Baby-Safe Cleaning Products For a Healthier Home

It's easy to obsess over every little thing that comes into your house, especially when you have a new baby to look out for. But the fact that you're even thinking about these things shows that you care, you're already doing great—and you've got this. Instead of letting anxiety get the best of you, start by swapping products in your laundry room and cleaning arsenal. Here's where to get rid of toxins first for a healthier home and safe nursery.

Laundry Detergent.

Between blowouts and spit-ups, your little one will go through countless onesies, burp cloths, and bedding, making the laundry feel never-ending. That’s why choosing a safe, non-toxic detergent matters. The detergent you use to clean all those fabrics that come into direct contact with your baby can either foster or undermine their health and development, not to mention affect your home’s indoor air quality. 

Unlike conventional laundry detergents that are loaded with skin irritants and toxic chemicals, just ¼ cap of Truly Free Home Laundry Wash delivers a gentle, powerful clean with plant-powered ingredients you can trust. Our unscented formula has even earned the green checkmark of approval from the third-party clean ingredient app, Think Dirty

Stain and Odor Remover.

While letting our kids get dirty (and smelly) comes with the territory, it often means fighting with tough stains and odors. Rather than use harsh ingredients to treat them, opt for a non-toxic alternative that gets the job done. Truly Free Home Odor & Stain Eliminator is made from a plant-powered formula that relies on natural enzymes to break down your dirtiest messes and get rid of stains and odors at the source—whether it’s on clothing, carpets, or sheets. 

Fabric Softener and Dryer Sheets.

There’s a reason why they call it baby-soft skin. While you may want to ensure their clothes are extra soft against their delicate skin, using the typical fabric softener and dryer sheets is actually doing more harm. According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), over 70% of fabric softeners earn a “D” or “F” safety rating. The reason? Harsh chemicals, including hormone-disrupting fragrance. Traditional fabric softeners and dryer sheets also coat fabrics in a waxy film to give the illusion of softness—and the toxic chemicals that make it up can seep into your baby’s already sensitive skin, causing rashes, or worse. 

Truly Free Home Softening Rinse works differently. Instead of covering your fabrics in toxic residue, it softens your laundry by softening hard water. So your baby can snuggle up in ultra-cozy clothes and blankets, and you can enjoy peace of mind. For a dryer sheet substitute that pulls double duty by softening your fabrics and reducing static, all the while leaving a light scent derived from plant-based and essential oils, reach for the Truly Free Home Dryer Angel. 

All-Purpose Cleaner.

If there’s one thing you quickly learn as a new parent, it’s that if you can simplify a task and save time, you take the win—because every minute saved is a minute you can spend actually enjoying your baby (or catching up on sleep). 

Enter: Truly Free Home Everyday Cleaner. While many all-purpose cleaners from household brands contain unwanted additives like ammonia and bleach, this non-toxic, fragrance-free formula uses coconut-derived (read: safe) ingredients to clean daily messes in the nursery and beyond—from toys and the changing table to the crib, diaper pails, and everything in between.

The Bottom Line

Choosing non-toxic cleaning products for your baby’s nursery is more than a purchase—it’s an investment in their healthy development and growth. The best part?  When everyone can rest easy in a truly safe space, you get to fully enjoy every little moment.
