About
We help you get harmful contaminants out of your home.
Plastic is where we start. Water, indoor air, and mold are next. The voice stays the same: ruthless curation, honest tradeoffs, no woo.
Why we made this.
We're new parents. We started worrying about microplastics, PFAS, radon, and everything else that kept showing up in research we didn't have time to read.
The information was fragmented, unreliable, contradictory. Every search was a new rabbit hole. Every "clean" brand had its own agenda. The wellness industry would sell us a $400 cleanse kit. The corporate retailers would sell us a greenwashed version of what we already had. Most options were too crunchy to live with or too narrow to help.
We started The Home Detox Companybecause we wanted what we couldn't find. A trusted curator that does the research, tells you which swaps actually move your number, and admits when a product still has tradeoffs. We want to make it simple to reduce toxins in your home and live a healthier life with your family.
The roadmap.
Chapter 1. Plastic. Live now. Microplastics, BPA, phthalates, PFAS in the products your kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom touch every day. 35 curated products with per-item Plastic Risk Scores.
Chapter 2. Water. Coming next. Test kits, filtration tiers (counter to whole-home), guidance on lead, PFAS, chlorine, and well-water contaminants.
Chapter 3. Indoor Air. Coming after. Bundled with radon. Monitors, HEPA, activated carbon, gas-stove alternatives, low-VOC paints.
Chapter 4. Mold + Moisture. Year 2. Moisture management, dehumidifiers, remediation referrals.
Chapter 5. Lead + Old Home. Year 2. Paint, pipes, soil. Bundled audit for new homeowners.
What we don't recommend.
The wellness industry sells a lot of things that the science doesn't support. Naming what we won't sell is part of earning the right to sell what we do. We do not recommend, and will never sell:
- Mycotoxin urine tests and “mold detox” protocols. The American College of Medical Toxicology rejected these in their August 2025 position statement. Mold causes real allergic and respiratory disease. The detox industry around it does not.
- Activated charcoal supplements for microplastic removal. No human evidence supports this.
- Salt lamps, “air-purifying” essential oil diffusers, and houseplant air purification claims. The original NASA houseplant study used sealed chambers and unrealistic plant ratios. In a real home you would need hundreds of plants per room to measurably affect VOCs. Plants are wonderful for many reasons. They are not air purifiers.
- EMF protection devices. No credible evidence links typical home wireless exposure to cancer or other health outcomes.
- Anything that requires the language of “toxins,” “cleansing,” or “ancient wisdom” to sell itself. If a product claim can't survive a peer-reviewed source check, it doesn't belong here.
The full anti-roadmap lives in our internal brand doc. The short version: every product on this shop is here because the science earned it a place. Nothing else.
How we curate.
Every product on the shelf has earned its place. We read the science, audit the certifications, and call brands directly when the public information doesn't answer the questions. When a product has plastic somewhere in it, we name where, why we still recommend it, and what the alternative would be if avoiding plastic on that specific item matters more to you than the swap it enables.
We make affiliate revenue. We disclose it on every page. Brand- direct partners are preferred over Amazon for both economics and the customer experience. We do not sell house-brand product. We do not run sponsored content. We do not take money to recommend.
We don't list a founder by name yet. The brand stands on its own. If you're an editor, researcher, or curious reader and you find a product on the shop where we haven't disclosed a tradeoff that should be there, tell us.
