Here are 3 easy ways to make sure you are cleaning with the good, green stuff:
1. Scan the label. Cleaning products are not required to list ingredients. However, some do voluntarily. One rule: avoid anything that contains glycol ether, which has been linked in animal studies to reproductive problems.
2. Sniff it out. Avoid products with the word "Fragrance" in the ingredient list. Most fragrances are chemically created and can include toxic substances.
3. Look for the green seal. Seek out products with a little green check mark, the stamp of the Green Seal independent certification program. It signifies that the manufacturer has avoided using toxic ingredients.
