Spray cleaners are to be especially avoided, as they can linger in the air for hours after being used. Harsh bleaches, soap scum removers and kitchen cleaners can also penetrate your skin on contact, causing adverse effects.
It’s important to use the natural cleaners for everyday spills, messes and maintenance cleaning, even if you use the chemical cleaners for once-in-a-while deep cleans.

Many of the ingredients in safe, non-toxic cleaner recipes can already be found in most homes. Things like baking soda, vinegar and water can help you keep your home clean and bright—naturally!
