Many household products contain chemicals that are harmful to the human health. This is not something you notice right way, but when these toxic substances
accumulate in the body, you may experience adverse effects in the long run.To prevent this, it’s important to limit the use of chemicals as much as possible. Remember that chemicals aren’t only inhaled, but find their way in through your skin as well. Therefore, always wear rubber gloves when cleaning, open as many doors and windows as possible and avoid inhaling bleach fumes and solvents.
To help keep you and your family safe:
Children and infants are particularly sensitive to chemicals in and around the house. To be safe, it’s best to use organic, untreated, all-natural baby products. Although a cool children’s room is pleasant, it is advisable to use the air conditioning as little as possible. Keep the room well ventilated during the day to promote a healthy indoor environment and avoid products containing artificial fragrances.
