Cleaning


Many household cleaning products contain toxic chemicals.  In Salvador's study, all 42 products tested had harmful chemicals, including acetone, ethanol, limonene, and phenol.  Simple substitutions can decrease exposure to harmful gases while saving money.  For example, open a window for ventilation instead of using air fresheners and choose non-scented deodorant, laundry detergent, and fabric softeners.
