Creating a Healthy Home: It's All About Reduction!
As a Certified Healthy Home Specialist and member of Step Beyond Green to Healthy, my goal is to provide you with valuable information to help you make better choices for your home. Whether you are seeking everyday tips for cleaner, healthier living, or looking for alternative materials, finishes, appliances, and furniture for your next remodeling project or new build, I am here to help. Let's chat and explore the ways you can create a healthier home environment.
The Journey to a Healthy Home
Creating a "Healthy Home" is not an all-or-nothing process. It's about taking small steps towards improvement. Each healthy choice you make contributes to reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals, toxins, electromagnetic fields, and enhances your air and water quality. Here are some key areas to focus on:
Everyday Tips for Cleaner, Healthier Living
Use Natural Cleaning Products:
Opt for products with natural ingredients or make your own using items like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils.
Improve Indoor Air Quality:
o Use air purifiers with HEPA filters.
o Keep indoor plants that help purify the air, such as spider plants, snake plants, and peace lilies.
o Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows and using exhaust fans
Reduce Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs):
o Keep electronic devices and Wi-Fi routers away from sleeping areas.
o Turn off devices when not in use.
o Use wired connections instead of wireless where possible.
Choose Non-Toxic Personal Care Products:
o Select products free from parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances.
o Look for certifications like USDA Organic or EWG Verified.
Alternative Materials and Finishes for Remodeling Projects
Low-VOC or Zero-VOC Paints:
o These paints emit fewer volatile organic compounds, improving indoor air quality.
Sustainable Flooring Options:
o Consider bamboo, cork, or reclaimed wood.
o Avoid vinyl flooring, which can emit harmful chemicals.
Natural Fiber Carpets and Rugs:
o Choose materials like wool, jute, or sisal that are free from synthetic dyes and treatments.
Eco-Friendly Insulation:
o Use materials such as cellulose, cotton, or sheep's wool instead of traditional fiberglass insulation.
Healthier Choices for Appliances and Furniture
Energy-Efficient Appliances:
o Look for Energy Star-rated appliances that reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.
Furniture Made from Natural Materials:
o Select furniture made from solid wood with non-toxic finishes.
o Avoid particleboard or MDF, which can release formaldehyde.
Non-Toxic Mattresses and Bedding:
o Opt for organic cotton, wool, or natural latex mattresses.
o Choose bedding free from chemical flame retardants and synthetic materials.
Every single healthy choice you make contributes to a safer and more comfortable living environment. Remember, it's about taking those one-step-at-a-time actions.
If you have any questions or need personalized advice, please reach out. Together, we can create a healthier home for you and your loved ones.

Kind Words
Beth M.
Melody helped me purchase my first home. I wasn't currently living in WI so she went above and beyond to do video tours for me. She also very graciously answered my MANY questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or use her again.
Jill & Bob W.
We were so pleased with Melody Hendrickson representing us on both the buyer and seller side. Melody was patient with us for three years in finding that perfect house we would eventually call our home. She listened to our needs, addressed our concerns and was 100% respectful with us along the journey. When it finally came time to purchase our new home and sell our existing home, Melody’s expertise and calming demeanor made the process so much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Melody for any future buying or selling real estate needs!!
Sharon & Frank E.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Melody Hendrickson. She sold our home and also helped us find a condo. We can’t say enough about the personal services gave us in all aspects of our journey. I would recommend her, and have, to anyone I know looking to buy or sell. She was there 24/7, very organized.
Marci H.
I highly recommend Melody Hendrickson. She sold my condo on Milwaukee's eastside and went so far beyond my expectations with the extra little things she did. I can guarantee you will love working with Melody based on her knowledge of the marketplace and her compassion and commitment to assist you with finding a buyer or helping you find the perfect home! 10 stars!
Bonnie & Bill G.
Melody helped us find a truly lovely home in the price range, size and school district we wanted that I might have passed by. She clearly cared more about us finding the right home for our family than about her own profit, as she pointed out the benefits of the home we now happily own versus the home I was preferring that was a higher cost and had less value in many ways.
Melody was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and responsive in all our interactions and demonstrated impressive negotiation skills. The most wonderful part of working with her was her sincere caring and obvious fulfillment when we decided upon the home that was the best fit for our family's needs and desires. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Melody as an outstanding and experienced real estate professional with a caring heart to help you find your true and most ideal new home.
