Potential health effects of Household Products

Find out all about the chemicals and poisons that may be lurking under your sink or in common household products. It's free online, and no registration is required.

It's the Household Products Database from the National Institutes of Health and The National Library of Medicine.

You can easily search for Auto products, Inside the Home, Pesticides, Landscape and Yard Chemicals, Personal Care, Home Maintenance, Arts and Crafts, Pet Care and much more, either alphabetically or by category.

Click on the category, then select the type of product, and then click on the exact Brand name of most popular products. To really get technically informed, you can click directly to the Product Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) prepared by manufacturers.

Additionally, there is a direct link from the Household Products Database to TOXNET, the Toxicology Data Network that will connect you to the lowdown nitty-gritty on common household products and chemicals.

At TOXNET you can search and explore in-depth info about Databases on toxicology, hazardous chemicals, environmental health, and toxic releases from a variety of highly credible scientific sources.

We encourage you to take the time and find out about your favorite brands! Information is your best defense against commonly used chemical products that may be harming your family. We invite you to discover many safe alternative Home Care products at our Web site, Clean Solutions. Our mission is to bring safer, healthier, convenient Green Cleaning alternatives direct to you. Thank you!

Happy "Almost Spring"!

I hope you are well. Thank you to all the new subscribers and the ongoing subscribers to this newsletter. We are growing!

What I want to share with you this month is a great organization I learned about recently: Eco Mom Alliance. I have attached their website to tell you more about them. This organization was started by a Mom in Marin County for women to get together to learn, share and educate themselves about eco green ideas to make their lives and their families lives “greener”. I was impressed with all they have done. If you are interested, the website is: Eco Mom Alliance website

A few updates on our websites: we will begin carrying some wonderful liquid soaps and hand sanitizers from EO, a company that is locally based and sells excellent products. I love the products and had the pleasure of touring their plant in Corte Madera. They use essential oils and wonderful organic products – it was a treat to be the in all the divine smells. These should be available on our website in the next month.

Have a great month and have fun using your healthy, green cleaning products for Spring cleaning!

Blessings to each of you, Cynthia
