The Plastic Detox app Detox tab: 4 of 19 sources removed, with Kitchen, Bathroom and Laundry work areas
Detox tab: 4 of 19 sources removed, ranked by how much contact each one causes, with a Filter your drinking water card marked High Impact
The Detox tab

Clear your home, source by source.

Every plastic source in your home, ranked by how much contact it causes, so the heaviest ones go first. Pick a room to work in, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and the next swap is queued up and ready. Tick one off and the ring fills in. Come back next week and pick up exactly where you left off.

Swaps we actually vetted: Filter your drinking water, why it matters, and three vetted picks by budget
Vetted swaps

Why it matters, then the picks, with the testing behind them.

Every swap opens with why it is worth doing, then the picks that cleared our checks at every budget: a start here option, a countertop option, and the one to buy if you own your home. Done, or maybe later, either way you move to the next source. The same research as the site, never a dead end.

Check tab: Scan a barcode, 1.2s average, or type a brand and product, with the four checks listed below
The Check tab

Check before you buy.

Scan a barcode, about 1.2 seconds average, or type the brand and product if it is not in your hand yet. Four checks behind every verdict: formula, materials, recalls and lawsuits, independent labs. All four, or no recommendation.

The verdict

The verdict first, then the evidence.

Good Choice, Use Carefully, or Skip, right at the top, with a plain language note on how much exposure it actually is: breathed in every day is not the same as touched once a year. Below it, exactly how we checked, materials, recalls and lawsuits, including what nobody has tested yet.

Learn tab: The four things that actually matter, heat, abrasion, fat and time, with a searchable library of 78 articles
The Learn tab

Learn only what matters.

Heat, abrasion, fat and time: every swap on your list comes back to one of them, and the two minute primer explains why before you read another word. From there, search the full library, the same guides as the site, built for the screen you are already holding.

Why free

No account, no ads, nothing sponsored.

The app is free the same way the site is free: no subscription, no login, no ads, and no brand ever pays for a placement. The whole database lives on your phone, so it works with no signal in the aisle, and a recall reaches you without waiting for an app update. The one optional purchase is the Baby & Expecting Package, a $9.99 unlock for the full registry and Top 100 rated products, same as on the site.

More than plastic

Every verdict clears five checks, not one.

Plastic is where we started, but it is not the whole story. A product only earns a Good Choice if it holds up on all five fronts. If a brand fails one, it is out.

01

The formula

What it is actually made of, checked before anything else.

02

The packaging

No plastic leaching into what you eat, drink or put on your skin.

03

Independent testing

Third party results for heavy metals, phthalates and contaminants.

04

Lawsuits

Legal action against a brand is a signal we do not ignore.

05

Recalls

A history of recalls keeps a product off your list.

Questions

Good questions, honest answers.

Is it really free?

Yes. The Detox plan, every swap pick, the product check, and the shop are all free, forever, with no account and no ads. The only thing to buy is optional: the $9.99 Baby & Expecting Package, the same one available on the site, for anyone who wants the full baby registry and rated Top 100 unlocked in one place.

Does it work without a signal?

Yes. The whole product database ships with the app and lives on your phone, so a product check works standing in a store basement with no bars. It updates in the background whenever you do have a connection, so a new recall or a corrected verdict reaches you without waiting for an app update.

Is the app's information different from the site's?

No. Every verdict in the app is the same one published at plasticdetox.org. The app is the same research, built for your phone: offline, with your Detox progress saved, and a barcode scanner for the aisle.

I don't have an iPhone. What should I do?

The app is iPhone only for now. Everything it does is also on plasticdetox.org and works the same on any device: start the free 90 day plan, browse the store, or check a product on the site itself.

What if I already started the free plan on the site?

Open the Detox tab in the app and pick up in the same order. It is the same plan, so nothing is lost by switching between the site and your phone.

Start with the swap that matters most.

Free on iPhone, with a step by step plan, vetted picks, and a product check that works in the aisle.
