HouseworkAbstract: More and more, Montrealers are becoming aware of the dangers involved in using housekeeping products. In fact, several cleaning products contain toxic components that may contaminate the air inside the house and affect the health of its occupants. They may also pollute natural environments once they are discharged into waste-water. Fortunately, it is possible to keep a house clean without using such products. This guide provides useful information, practical tips and several recipes for ecological cleaning products. Moreover, the use of pesticides to maintain lawns and flower beds is also of concern to people. Considering the risks they represent for human health and the environment, Montréal has adopted a by-law that prohibits their use. Despite this prohibition, some products that are not considered very toxic may be used at all times. However, the use of low-impact pesticides is always a last-resort solution. Before applying such pesticides, other control methods may be used first.
