Hi, I’m Courtney, founder of Clean for Days.

I didn’t set out to start a blog. Honestly, writing still feels slightly intimidating. But here I am, because as a parent doing crazy deep dives at 2am, comparing products and trying to figure out the right move, I thought it might be helpful to someone else doing the same thing.

A sensitivity to fragrances, detergents and materials has been a thread through my life for as long as I can remember. That was only deepened by some underlying health conditions and a longer road to parenthood than I expected. Navigating infertility had me digging into anything that might support that process, and somewhere along the way I started seeing the research connecting endocrine disruptors, plastics and the way they can affect the body. It clarified a lot of things for me.

Now as a parent I try to be as thoughtful as I can about what we bring into our home, with the very real caveat that sometimes you’re just trying to plug a gap as fast as possible, and sometimes you have the headspace to dig a little deeper. We’re all just doing our best with the information we have, making small swaps where we can that might end up having a bigger impact than we realize.

That’s what Clean for Days is. The summary of all that digging, shared honestly, in case it helps someone else. Because as parents we don’t have a ton of headspace, and if I can give a little of that back, that feels worthwhile.
