Being clean is good for you.  It helps keep us healthy and makes us feel good, too. At times, it can feel safe to mix your own cleaning products at home. What ACI will caution is that it is crucial to know that many of the cleaning product recipes found online don’t come with specific information on safe and proper use, storage and ingredient information.

Formulated products – ones that you purchase at the store – are researched, developed, tested, manufactured and sold with responsible and proper use a priority. Through product labels, company websites, and toll-free hotlines, companies provide this information should you need it in your everyday use or in an emergency.
