Keeping it Clean

Conventional cleaners can contain hazardous ingredients such as organic solvents or petroleum-based chemicals that can release volatile compounds into your home.  This can pose particular risks to children. 

Avoiding petroleum-based products also helps reduce carbon emissions.  Look for nontoxic, vegetable based, biodegradable cleaners or try making your own cleaner using vinegar, water and Castile soap. 

A simple online search (re:  Natural cleaners) provides a host of ideas for non-toxic cleaning solutions.
