Create a non-toxic, safe home for your family and pets. Gather up all products in your house or garage that contain unsafe chemicals and dispose in a safe manner.

 Switch to alternatives containing nontoxic and biodegradable ingredients (some products labeled 'green' aren't really safe - look for green certification labels).
