According to this article Spring Cleaning the air quality in a home that uses chemicals to clean is 2 -5 times more polluted than outdoors! Here's to green cleaners!

Can I get an Amen!

PS.. thanks again for the Seventh Generation coupons. I've been buying the dish, dishwasher & laundry detergent. I also buy Clorox Green toilet cleaner. I figure I'm using the money I'd otherwise spend on cleaners to pay extra for S.G. Other than that, it is just vinegar, lemons and club soda for me.

That's a great article

We recently repainted the bathroom floor and tiled it in our basement. The house smelled like glue for a couple days and it was horrible. All I could think about was harming the babies, but there were no windows to open (plus it's been cold) and no where for us to go stay until it went away.

You wouldn't think that about our indoor air and cleaning, but it's so true.
I have to be especially careful with what I use 'cause certain cleaners are irritating to my DD as she has allergies/asthma. So, we don't use any aerosol cleaners or freshners at all and I usually always only use all natural products: water, vinegar, baking soda, lemons.
