Keep Your Home Environmentally Safe
Rid your home of substances that can harm your child.
Cleaning Products
Keeping your home free of environmental dangers isn't just beneficial to the earth -- it's beneficial to your children as well. Cleaning products, antifreeze, pesticides, mold, and asbestos can lead to serious health problems in a child. Check out these helpful hints in protecting your children from these dangerous elements.
- Store your cleaning products in closed -- preferably locked -- cabinets.
- When using household cleaning products, make sure to have adequate ventilation, and don't let your child enter the area until fumes have cleared.
- Dispose of empty containers through your local hazardous waste disposal center. Don't let them sit in the garbage pail where kids can reach them.
- Keep cleaning products away from areas where food is prepared.
- Keep antifreeze locked up, out of a child's reach, and in its original container. Don't leave puddles of antifreeze in your garage or on your driveway.

I don't buy cleaning supplies like Lysol or Tide or any cleaning products from the stores or walmart because they are toxic for my family and they don't do the job. I found a better and safer alternative for cleaning that saves a lot of money and so much healthier for my family....and speaking of health and money,,if there are any families out there who would like to make some money without selling or touching any kind of inventory then go to www.athome4kids.awugreen.com you will love it.
