NON-TOXIC CLEANING 101
Plastic pollution has reached crisis levels. More than 400 million tons of plastic are produced every year, and about half of it is designed to be thrown away after a single use.
Only 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, oceans, and breaks down into microplastics that have infiltrated our water, food, and bodies.
Microplastics have been found in human blood, lungs, and even placentas. They’re in the deepest parts of the ocean and at the top of Mount Everest. Researchers are still figuring out the long-term health effects, but early studies suggest links to inflammation and hormone disruption.
Most of this plastic comes from products we use for just a few minutes before throwing them away. Think single-use water bottles, shopping bags, food packaging, and cleaning product containers. And all that plastic waste adds up—fast.
Plastic doesn’t biodegrade. The seemingly indestructible material breaks into smaller pieces, but it never disappears. In fact, a plastic bottle you throw away today could still be polluting the environment 450 years from now.
The environmental impact goes beyond litter. Plastic production relies on fossil fuels—the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide emissions, and climate change. And once plastic enters the environment, it harms wildlife and contaminates water sources. Marine animals, for example, mistake plastic for food while birds feed plastic fragments to their young.
But this isn’t just about distant oceans or wildlife. Plastic pollution affects us directly when we consume microplastics in our drinking water and food or breathe them in—and we’re only beginning to understand what that means for our health.
That’s why it’s so important to reduce plastic waste where you can. You don’t have to be perfect or live a zero-waste lifestyle. Simply making better choices where it makes sense for your family, and with the everyday products you use most, can be a game-changer.
Every time you finish a bottle of laundry detergent, dish soap, or all-purpose cleaner, you likely throw away the plastic container and buy a new one. In the U.S. alone, about 1 billion plastic laundry detergent jugs are discarded every year.
So, switching to refillable cleaning products is one of the simplest ways to cut down on your household’s plastic footprint. That’s where Truly Free Home’s easy-to-use refill system comes in. You keep the same container and refill it when you run out—no more single-use jugs piling up in the trash.
At Truly Free Home, we designed our entire system around reducing single-use plastics.
When you order from Truly Free Home for the first time, your eco-friendly cleaning products come with a durable, refillable Forever Jug or Bottle. These reusable containers aren’t meant to be thrown away—they’re built to last.
When you run out of product, you order a lightweight refill pouch instead of a whole new jug or bottle. Each pouch contains a concentrated powder or liquid formula that you mix with hot water in your Forever Jug or Bottle, depending on the product. Even better? Our refill pouches use 95% less plastic than traditional bottles and are fully recyclable in many areas.
And don’t worry—with Truly Free Home, you’re not giving up cleaning power for sustainability. Our plant-powered formulas work just as well as conventional cleaners, just without the plastic waste or harsh chemicals.
To date, Truly Free Home customers have kept 16 million single-use plastics out of landfills, and that number only grows each time someone chooses to refill instead of replace.
You don’t need to overhaul your entire life to reduce plastic waste. Small changes add up, especially with products you use every day. Here are a few easy swaps that make a big impact.
Switch to SHOP TRULY FREE HOME LAUNDRY. Choosing refillable options instead of buying new plastic jugs each month is made easy with brands like Truly Free Home—just order refills and use the same container over and over.
Buy in bulk when you can. Larger containers mean fewer plastic bottles over time. Even better, look for bulk refill stations at local stores.
Skip single-use plastic whenever possible. Bring your reusable bags, water bottles, and coffee cups along with you to the store and coffee shop, and say no to plastic straws and disposable cutlery.
Share what you’ve learned with friends. When friends and family see you making these changes, it opens the door for conversations around why it matters. The more people who switch, the bigger the impact.
The cleaning industry is changing. Consumers are demanding better options, and brands are stepping up.
Refillable systems and low-impact packaging aren’t niche ideas anymore—they’re becoming standard. And that’s exactly how we believe it should be.
At Truly Free Home, we’re committed to staying ahead of this shift. We’re constantly working to reduce waste, improve our formulas, and make it easier for families to choose non-toxic, sustainable products.
Ready to make a difference? Join the refillable revolution with Truly Free Home and start reducing your plastic footprint one jug and bottle at a time.
