Real-world choices.
The home is a living system
Wellness begins with the spaces that hold us.
Labels rarely tell the whole story. Paint, flooring, furniture, cookware, cleaning products, and nursery essentials can all introduce avoidable exposures into daily life.
Nettoyer pairs deep materials expertise with thoughtful design to help you prioritize what matters, make confident swaps, and create a home that feels as good as it looks.

Meet the founder
Science meets design.
Steph Brookins brings a materials scientist’s rigor and a designer’s eye to the question every family deserves to ask: what is our home made of?
With a Master of Science in Materials Science & Engineering and more than a decade of experience across design, materials, manufacturing, and chemistry, Steph helps clients see beyond packaging and marketing claims.
Nettoyer was born from her own search for safer products as a new parent—and the realization that families need an expert translator in a marketplace short on transparency.

Better questions make better homes.

The label gap: what “free from” really tells you
A “free from” claim answers one narrow question—not what replaced that ingredient or what else is in the product. Look for fuller material disclosure, credible third-party standards, and manufacturers willing to answer specific questions.

Five places to begin a healthier-home reset
Start with the choices you encounter most: the air you breathe, the water you drink, household dust, food-contact surfaces, and heavily fragranced products. Work through one category at a time—meaningful progress matters more than replacing everything at once.

Choosing finishes with indoor air in mind
Before choosing paint, flooring, adhesives, or cabinetry, consider the full assembly—not only the finish you can see. Favor transparent product documentation, plan for ventilation during installation, and allow adequate time for materials to cure before settling back in.
