- Use cleaning products made from safe natural and not-toxic ingredients to prevent exposure to the hazardous synthetic chemicals conventional cleaners contain.
- Dust with a damp cloth to ensure that household dust, which collects toxins, is removed from surfaces and not stirred back into the air.
- Open windows and doors occasionally (even in winter!) to rinse out any air pollutants that have accumulated inside.
- Don’t use aerosol products. They fill your home with microscopic droplets of whatever is being sprayed. These droplets remain suspended in the air for hours and are easily inhaled.
- Avoid room deodorizers or other air “freshening” products, which are frequently made from unhealthy chemicals.
- Don’t use any pesticide products in your home, your yard or garden, or on your pets. Instead, supplement a preventative strategy with natural pest control methods.
- If you decide to use them, keep conventional cleaners and other chemical products out of your children’s rooms.
