GREENGUARD CERTIFIED...if you have kids...know what this means


It is that time of year where we want to remain inside most of the time due to the cold, rain and snow. Did you know indoor air quality is probably a lot worse than outside? This is why it is so important to choose your indoor furnishings carefully. It is of utmost importance if you have children or are putting together a nursery. The GREENGUARD ENVIRONMENTAL INSTITUTE can help you choose the proper furnishings for your home or a remodeling project that have been certified for low chemical emissions. Their website is extremely helpful and full of information to help make your home healthier.

When you are putting together a nursery, you have to think about the items your baby will be coming in direct contact with on a daily basis. The crib mattress, changing pad, and sheets are going to be so close to the infants face that these items should be GREEN GUARD CERTIFIED. Anything less has been treated with flame retardants which can pose serious health threats. Find more tips on finding a healthy mattress from Healthy Child Healthy World.

I personally use a Naturepedic Bassinet Pad, Crib Mattress, and Changing Pad. They can be purchased from the advertisers link on my blog. They are worth the money!!! You can ask friends and family to buy them and eventually you could resell or donate them. For bedding, organic crib sheets are a must. Knowing that cotton is the most pesticide laden crop besides coffee...how can you not buy an organic sheet??? An organic crib sheet is so inexpensive and can be bought just about anywhere. Look at the options.

Don't forget to use GREEN GUARD CERTIFIED Paint, Flooring, and Furniture. It may seem overwhelming at first but you can choose items carefully knowing your child is protected. Indoor air quality which is a result of toxins given off from ordinary products are linked to asthma, allergies and some forms of cancer. To read more on this.
