Cleaning Products
An interesting article from the New York Times about the safety of the cleaning products we use. I don't know if Windex or Pledge is bad for you but this quote does freak me out: "Since last September, a state law has required schools in New York to use cleaning products that do not contain any carcinogens, reproductive toxins or scents that could aggravate asthma..." Unless I'm missing something, they just banned carcinogens in September! I don't even want to know what a "reproductive toxin" is.

Hi Steve. Wonderful blog you have here! I see that you are into documentaries, so I thought I'd pass this one along to you about toxins in the home. This is a must see to put you on the path of learning about toxins, including carcinogens, neurotoxins, etc. Hope you enjoy. http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/media/cleaners_rm_030311.ram

Sorry, Steve, it appears as though the link doesn't want to transfer in its' entirety. I'll try again:
cbc.ca/consumers/market/media/cleaners_rm_030311. I'm having trouble making the whole link visible, so please add your "www." before adding the link to your address search bar.

Thanks! I found the link to the whole story here: http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/files/home/cleaners/
A great piece on cleaners and exactly the reason we've started using products like Seventh Generation in our home.
