Why I Love Humble Suds 

This post contains affiliate links

I was introduced to Humble Suds several years ago and quickly fell in love with not only the effectiveness of their products but also how adorably aesthetic they created their packaging. As I learned more about their formulations, how much the founders cared about their health, but also the health of their families and communities as they continued to innovate their products to not only be accessible but also perform well for the needs of a busy household I fell even more in love. A big bonus for me is that they’re also a local Colorado small business and I always love supporting people in my community doing good things for the marketplace! 

Why choose safer household cleaning products? For starters, they often contain harmful and noxious chemicals that can be bad for your health while also dramatically affecting your indoor home air quality. It’s easy to think that the more concentrated and harsh a cleaner is the more effective it is, but when you learn how to clean things well, harsher and more concentrated cleaners are no more effective and can be quite harmful. For my home I prefer gentle yet effective products that are safe to use around even the most vulnerable in my home; pets, small children, immunocompromised, etc. 

Below is a short list of just a few of the harmful chemicals that are found in your average household cleaner.

  • Phthalates (fragrance) – hormone-disrupting and irritating to the respiratory system. Found in household cleaners, laundry soaps, air fresheners, hand soaps, and more.
  • Ammonia – corrosive and toxic to breathe. High exposure from frequent household use can result in irritation of the eyes, nose & mouth, breathing issues, and has been linked to lung damage.
  • Oxalic Acid – corrosive and toxic to breathe in. (the main ingredient in Bar Keeper’s Friend) 
  • Chlorine – considered a pesticide, can cause respiratory distress and when mixed with other chemicals it can create deadly chlorine gas. Found in products like Comet powders, soft scrubs, all-purpose disinfecting sprays, etc. 
  • PERC (perchloroethylene) – a neurotoxin. Found in spot removers, dry cleaning chemicals, and carpet cleaners.

Below is the line-up of my daily Humble Suds go-tos and how I use them in my home! 

  • Humble Suds Scour(™) Cleaning Paste – Just take a tiny bit of the paste on a sturdy cloth and you can tackle anything stuck on or staining a surface! 
  • Illuminate Oxygen + Mineral Powder – the BEST thing I’ve found, without harmful chemicals, to brighten whites and remove stubborn stuck-on stains! While their laundry powder already has some illuminate boosting, this is the full-concentration powder and works incredibly when doing a specific pre-soak! See all my laundry tips.
  • 5 Ingredient Laundry Powder – love this laundry powder. Works amazing. The Sweet Orange + Lemongrass Scent is my favorite, although they also have an unscented one if you prefer no scent at all! 
  • All Purpose Spray – The BEST thing I’ve found to clean my kitchen counters, spray down messes on the floor, or wipe down any other surface in my home! My favorite size is their 16oz amber glass spray bottle and my favorite scent is the Grapefruit + Lemon. I LOVE that they provide REFILLS in small amber glass bottles. Each refill bottle fills TWO 16 oz spray bottles! 
  • Miracle Cleaning Bombs – If you have hard-to-reach, hard-to-clean areas of your home, THESE are what you need! Drop a bomb into your humidifier reservoir and it’ll work out any stuck-on gunk. Have a stained toilet bowl, drop one of these in, let it fizz, swish the product around the bowl, let it rest – overnight for tougher stains – then scrub clean! Have skinny-necked bottles that you can’t fit a bottle brush into? I like to use just a quarter to a half of a bomb for this job. I just gently cut the bomb and drop the small piece into the bottle with some warm water, let it fizz for a while, swish it around, let it soak for stubbornly stuck-on residue, and then rinse clean! They seriously work like a miracle!  

We also use and love their Revival Wood + Leather Balm! The balm is AMAZING on leather shoes and our wood cutting boards! Their gift sets are adorable and some of my all-time favorite things to gift as housewarming gifts for friends & family!

  • I love being barefoot. I wander around doing yard work, gardening, bringing my trash cans out, bringing my 80+ year old neighbor a treat or her mail. Every time she sees me without shoes on she just looks me up and down and tsks. One day when I was in my front yard she asked me to come over and she walked me inside her house to her laundry room as she casually handed me a cute little pair of rubber gardening clogs and said “because apparently you don’t have anything like this, please start wearing shoes”🤣. She secretly loves me and needs the entrainment in her life😉. But yet, here I am. Still barefoot. I love feeling the ground beneath my feet. I love the health benefits of walking barefoot in the grass and for my toes and arches to have no restraints. Don’t get me wrong. I do like shoes when I’m out and about, I just really love being barefoot at home. Do you walk around barefoot a lot or do you always have to have shoes on?
  • Seriously though. When I hear a friend proudly announce that “I just threw away all that crap”, it makes me gasp. But why, Becky, you’re all about clean living? Well this is why and this is part of clean living too! 1. We throw away WAAAAY too much in this country. 2. We often only think about immediate impact of something on ourselves, versus the ripple effect of that choice. 3. Just because we won’t eat a particular something, doesn’t mean it couldn’t still bring the exact joy someone is needing in their day. 4. Farmers are STRUGGLING. If we buy pumpkins and then just want to throw them away, there’s an entire life cycle and food source that we are skipping. Donated pumpkins add needed nutrition for winter livestock needs. Often donation places do prefer the pumpkins in their most whole state, but it’s worth reaching out to your local groups to double check their specific requirements. Let’s all think beyond ourselves and our own convenience for a minute and consider the community impact we could have by opening our hands and minds a little wider. Sincerely yours in clean, Becky Ps: drop in the comments below if you have any other suggestions for where to donate these items! Love to crowdsource these things!
  • When I want diced cubes of butternut squash, this is my favorite way to prep. Sure you can simply slice in half, put into a baking dish upside down or right side up and bake it until it’s soft, but then it’s often too soft to cube or it’s still too firm to cube well, so this is why I do it this way! I also hate the slimy tastelessness of the bags of pre cut butternut squash in the grocery store. It’s a shortcut, but not worth it imo and honestly more expensive than a whole, raw organic one. Simply prep as shown. Bake at 400° for 20-30mins. Stirring every 15 so they cook evenly. I bake the whole squash at once and if we don’t eat it all in one sitting, the leftovers easily toss into salads or other meals or freeze well for a quick easy button add in to a later recipe. #glutenfreekitchen #cleanlivingmama #glowingskinnaturally #foodasmedicine #autoimmune #mamarisingcollective #mamabear #healingfoods
  • Spain. The much anticipated and long awaited post about our adventures in Mallorca & Barcelona the last week of September. We enjoyed amazing food, incredible weather, met micro mosquitoes that bite you so fast you don’t even know it’s happening, savored lots of relaxation at the ocean, in seaside towns and mountains. We wandered old stone streets and walked on top of medieval walls. We savored Paella and Tapas, incredible fresh fruit and baked bread. We wandered outdoor & indoor markets. We ate gelato. Lots of it. We went on adventures; sea kayaking, cliff jumping and cave snorkeling. We stayed at a resort near the port town of Alcudia on the north end of the island. We also rented a car, highly recommended by everyone we talked to. We had one afternoon and night in Barcelona before our flight home, so we explored Rambla de Catalunya, saw the Mirador de Colom. Incredibly grateful for the amazing opportunity to explore somewhere new as a family🫶🏼.
  • Seriously tho🫠. Stimulation overload of current heavy & chaotic national events, paired with a to-do list a mile long means I start to focus on the mundane. The repetitive. The calming. The tasks that will create a calmer home, resulting in a calmer mind to sift thru the to do list to focus on the next most important thing. It works every single time. Give it a try. If anything your dishes and laundry will be done😉. #motherhoodunfiltered #motherhoodintheraw #autoimmunewarrior #cleanliving #cleanbeauty #healthylivingtips #crunchi #glowingskintips
