Here's the inside story…

Do you have sinus problems, headaches, or fatigue that just won't go away? If so, you may be homesick…that is, your home may be making you sick! Indoor air pollution is 2 to 1,000 times greater than outdoor air pollution, especially after exposure to household chemicals. Respiratory illness, liver problems and even cancer can show up years after chemical exposure. Indoor air pollution comes from many sources, including chemicals used to treat building materials, paint, furnishings and carpet, as well as household cleaning products. Mixing of fumes can create an even greater threat. The EPA recommends using less toxic household cleaners to reduce exposure to chemicals in your home and your environment. Watkins Organic Cleaner can replace dozens of cleaning products. This amazing biodegradable, phosphate-free formula is safe for your environment, yet effective for almost every household chore, from cleaning dishes, tile, floors and fine washables, to cars and boats!
