Household Cleaners

The EPA states that toxic chemicals in household cleaners are three times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air pollution and the Consumer Product Safety Commission has identified 150 chemicals common in homes linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities. Some of the most common culprits include household bleach, all-purpose cleaners, laundry detergent and dish detergent.

Make it a point to use non-toxic cleaners (i.e. Seventh Generation, Method, Ecover brands).
