Indoor air pollution is a problem for every home. It’s not just paints that offgas VOCs (volatile organic compounds), but cleaning products as well. Cleaning your home doesn’t have to contribute to dirty air, there are more natural ways to clean. You can buy cleaning products that aren’t made from petroleum, don’t contain fragrances or harmful, often carcinogenic, chemicals. Or you can return to what your grandmother, or great-grandmother were using: natural products you probably already have in your kitchen that are surprisingly effective cleaners.

We also have a video with commercial green cleaning products.
