Room by room
Every room has two layers: the measurable science of what's in the air, water and materials — and the felt art of how the space is arranged.
The quiet toxin source
Laundry Room
What to fix
- Wash with unscented detergent; 'fragrance' hides a long list you never agreed to.
- Swap disposable sheets for wool balls that do the same job without the coating.
- Vent the room after a cycle so warm damp air doesn't settle into the walls.
How to arrange it
- Keep dirty laundry contained and lidded rather than heaped in view.
- A clean room with a closed door keeps the chore from spilling into the house.
