   I blogged about GoodGuide.com recently:
   
   ...It's a user-friendly, consumer website with product ratings for toys, personal care products and household chemicals. What's special is that the ratings are based on health, environmental and social factors that, surprisingly, companies often don't like to hype (like carcinogens in shampoo and cute lead-laced bath toys)...

   This is a great topic, and definitely an important one. The problem with products labeled "green" is that many of them aren't. If you're seriously interested in using environmentally safe cleaning products, your best bet is to research them first. Don't just go by what the label says - and that goes for pretty much any product, cleaning or otherwise.

   Steam cleaning I like. No chemicals, which can do as much harm as the bacteria you are trying to eradicate.

Indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air even in the largest and most industrialized cities, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Even in smoggy Los Angeles.
