Did you know 25% of chemicals in the cleaning
products used in schools are toxic and contribute to poor indoor air quality,
smog, cancer, asthma, and other disease? There is a better way to clean - use
green cleaning products.
DIY: The Cleaning for Healthy Schools Toolkit is
a free "do-it-yourself" tool on how to find
and phase in the use of certified green cleaning products
that are proven to work and to save money. Listen to
the archived presentations. Then teach others. Create
your own handouts by accessing free customizable files.
