The home inside is typically about two to five times more toxic than outdoor air.

I think there was 6,000 people involved and they found that the use of conventional cleaning products was equivalent of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.

Again, the very products that we are bringing inside of our home to create a clean environment for our family are actually the ones that are undermining our family's health.

And then once I was opened up to that notion and started opening my windows, HEPA vacuuming, I mean, that alone, guys, because you may be someone that's like, well, shoot, we just moved into a brand new house or we didn't have much control over this or we just built something or we just painted.
