Six Tips for a Healthier Home

Commit to carefully considering everything that crosses your doorstep.

Here are some safe, healthy things to have in your home:

• Cleaners that are truly cleaner, nontoxic, natural, biodegradable, concentrated, and hypoallergenic.

• Fresh air. Open your windows to reduce indoor air pollution.
• Essential oils. Use these instead of air fresheners.
• Plants. Besides being nice to look at, they can absorb harmful gases and help clean the air.
• Organic cotton bedding. Avoid standard bedding treated with chemicals.
• Floors made of recycled and renewable resources. Healthier paint. That new paint smell can be as nasty as it smells. Choose low VOC paint instead.
