An eco-advice that is easy to apply : air your child’s bedroom every day. There is nothing better to clean to air and get rid of polluting matters floating in the air. Be careful however on cooler days that baby does not get cold. While you are airing the room with the windows wide opened, bring your baby to a different room.

When cleaning to room, avoid using bleach or aerosols because they are often the cause of air pollution in the house. Dusting and cleaning regularly using water and a regular soap are usually more than enough.

If you are thinking to put wallpaper in baby’s bedroom, rethink your idea. The wallpaper itself and the glue used to stick the wallpaper to the walls both contain toxic volatile organic compounts (VOCs) that can be harmful.

Avoid wallpapers and instead, opt for natural, eco and or organic paints. Those paints usually contain flax oils, water and turpentine oils. Those products are much less toxic than those used in synthetic paints (polyurethane, white-spirit, hydrocarbons, etc)

When choosing your paints, read the labels and go to a specialize store. The clerk there will know more about the different eco and natural paints available at their store.

Watch out for water paints. They are not always safe and often contains glycol ethers, that are just as dangerous as the previously listed of chemicals.
