Deodorizers, Air Fresheners
Cresol, Formaldehyde, Paradichlorobenzene, Phenol
These chemicals are used to desensitize your nose and hide offending odors.
House plants absorb pollutants and purify the air. Potpouri is a natural way to introduce a nice scent. To absorb odors, place baking soda or white vinegar in small dishes. Sprinkle baking soda in trash cans and kitty litter pans.

Flea & Tick Control
Pesticides
In addition to possible damage to the animal's health, these products can rub off and expose your family to unnecessary health risks.

Look for brewer's yeast tablets or pet dips and sprays containing de-limonine gas (a citrus extract) to repel pests safely. Look for biodegradable (least toxic) alternatives, including insecticidal soaps and 100% organic sprays and flea collars (made from cedarwood, orange, eucalyptus and bay distillates).

Floor & Furniture Polish
Cresol
Residual vapors contaminate your home long after application. In addition, wood polish may cause severe skin and eye irritation.

Dust furniture with a barely damp cloth. Clean wood floors and furniture with vegetable-based oil soaps. On unfinished wood, use vegetable oil to replenish luster. Polish finished wood with butcher's wax once or twice a year.
