To continue doing your good work please be more careful with statements like, ". . . research shows that clean houses are increasingly co-related with lowered immunity in families. The reason is that most conventional household cleaning detergents release chemicals called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) . . . " Correlation is never cause. There's much more research suggesting that the correlation is related to lack of exposure to antigens that stimulate and program immunity, not VOCs. Certainly, VOCs are not good for us, but sloppy arguments, will only slow progress in educating others. Good solid reasoning, will win the day, even if it isn't terribly catchy.

I'm talking about used old t-shirts for rags, toothbrushes for scrubbing, etc. Some companies even started using recycled materials to make products. One of the best products I've seen made from recycled materials is the Fur-Zoff. It removes pet hair from furniture, clothes, and cars very easily. Not as wasteful as a lint roller either! A Fur-Zoff only costs $10 and lasts forever -- very eco-friendly! They sell them at http://www.furzoff.net - I definitely recommend one to pet owners! Also, try to use recycled cleaning products.
