Al Odell 10/15/2019 9:44 AMI'm a very cleanly person and in my apartment I like to religiously clean as often as I can. However, I have been trying to incorporate more non-toxic chemicals in my life. My great grand mother's first job in the U.S. was being a part of the cleaning service and used a lot of bleach. She had frequent headaches for most of her life after that and I would like to avoid that in the future!
