Cleaning Products
What's in that tub and tile cleaner? How about the toilet bowl cleaner? What are the warning words on the labels of the household cleaners you use—and do you know what they mean?
Household cleaners can be very toxic. The first step to understanding the products you use is to read the label for the warning words to see how toxic they are. Then you can begin to look for safer alternatives--products that won't pollute the air and water, or harm wildlife or people.
The article Be Careful with Cleaners offers some more information on the hazards of toxic cleaning products and advice on how to begin to switch to safer cleaners. For information on how to safely dispose of toxic cleaning products, please check out the section on household hazardous waste.
