Health Tip: Take it Easy on Chemical Cleaners

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offers these suggestions:

  • When you have to use an irritating product, make sure the affected family member is not nearby.
  • Run a fan and open all doors and windows when using the chemical.
  • Read the chemical's label and follow all instructions for use.
