A good site to research household products [View all]

The Environmental Working Group's Guide to Healthy Cleaning lists many of the products we use in our homes, and rates them as to their toxicity. You can do a search for a product or brand. There is a list of products in different categories with grade from A to F. It also has a label decoder to help you understand what is in products.

I spent a lot of time looking around and I am impressed so I wanted to share this.
