#122: The MESS associated with baby-led weaning can be very off putting for parents. Although we can’t avoid the mess and getting messy is part of how your baby learns to eat, we can be selective in what cleaning products we choose for cleaning up food mess.

In this episode I’m interviewing Branch Basics Co-Founder Allison Evans. Branch Basics makes a line of non-toxic household cleaners that ACTUALLY effectively clean food mess!

Allison is a mom of 2 who found improved health outcomes for her whole family once she “tossed the toxins”. She’s not only sharing how and why she came to co-found Branch Basics, but some great tips on using their products. How you can get food stains out of baby’s clothes and the best non-toxic household cleaner for cleaning your family’s dishes too.

Listen to this episode to learn:

How along with her best friend and her aunt she came to co-found BRANCH BASICS...and why other brands that claim to be all-natural very often aren’t
What to look for on the cleaning products in your house that indicate they contain pesticides or other harmful ingredients that were grandfathered in to be designated “safe” but that you definitely don’t want near your baby!
How to use the Branch Basics soap concentrate in a variety of ways that are proven to get even the toughest food stains out (...even if you let those stain treated clothes sit for a few days before doing your laundry!)
