How to Live a More Eco-Friendly Lifestyle at Home: Simple Swaps, Big Impact

Posted by Carolyn Simonian on

At nontre.co, we believe that sustainable living starts in the home. From the way we clean to the choices we make in our kitchens and laundry rooms, small, thoughtful changes can collectively make a meaningful difference to our environment.

Here are some easy and impactful tips to help you live a more eco-friendly lifestyle—without compromising on comfort, style, or cleanliness.

1. Switch to Refillable Cleaning Products

Say goodbye to single-use plastic bottles. Refillable and concentrated cleaning products reduce packaging waste and carbon emissions from shipping. Our Ultra Concentrate All-Purpose Spray and Dish Soap Concentrate are powerful, plant-based formulas designed to clean effectively—while being kind to the planet.

2. Use Compostable Sponges and Brushes

Traditional plastic sponges shed microplastics into waterways. Opt for natural alternatives made from coconut fibres or wooden pulp. They’re tough on grime, gentle on surfaces, and fully compostable at the end of their life.

3. Reduce Laundry Waste

Switch to concentrated laundry liquids that are biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals. Air-drying your clothes whenever possible also cuts energy use dramatically.

4. Choose Natural Fragrance Over Synthetic Scents

Conventional air fresheners often contain harmful VOCs. Instead, opt for ultrasonic aroma diffusers and essential oil-based interior perfumes that purify and scent your home naturally. Nontre’s Aroma Car Diffuser and Fabric Freshener bring nature’s calm into your space, toxin-free.

5. Shop in Bulk and Refill

Avoid small, frequent purchases wrapped in plastic. Choose refill bottles or bulk sizes for your most-used items like dish soap, hand wash, or laundry liquid. It’s more economical—and better for the planet.

6. Reuse and Repurpose

Get creative with how you use things. Empty glass jars become storage containers, leftover fabric becomes cleaning rags, and packaging can be upcycled into planters or gift wrap.

7. Support Brands That Prioritise Sustainability

Choose to buy from companies that are transparent about their ingredients, packaging, and ethical sourcing. At nontre.co, sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s at the core of everything we do.

Final Thought: Progress Over Perfection

You don’t need to overhaul your entire life overnight. Start with one change—then another. Living more sustainably is about being mindful, not perfect. Every eco-conscious choice you make at home brings us one step closer to a healthier planet.
