The woman in this video was having severe respiratory problems and traced it to the chemicals in the cleaning products she was using.
Toxic Brew

This is a video about the potentially harmful effects of household cleaning products.

A good reason to stick to organic cleaning products! Might be worth a try for those with breathing issues.

I'm just as wary of "organic" cleaners as I am of all others.

From OrganicConsumers.Org

"Don't believe "organic" ingredients in cleaning and other chemical products are any safer than other substances. Although "organic" in the grocery store refers to foods grown without synthetic pesticides, in chemistry it refers to chemicals that are carbon-based, including some VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that release harmful fumes and may cause brain damage or cancer.Additionally, watch out for products labeled organic. Household cleaning products aren’t regulated by the Organic Foods Production Act, but some of their ingredients, such as plant oils, can be labeled �certified organic.� For more info, see ecolabels.org."

Does anybody know of either a good source of cleaning supplies for asthmatics or maybe a site where I can learn to make my own? I have horrible problems with anything with fragrances.
