clear the air
Filed Under Going Green, Stuff | March 3, 2009
Did you know that estimates show the people spend 90% of their time indoors? And that the air inside your home can be more polluted than the air outside? That’s because everything from furniture, dry cleaned clothes and products release chemicals that linger indoors.
