• Chemicals and poisons exist in a variety of places around the home including some household cleaners, antifreeze, pest sprays, nail polish remover, perfumes and after shaves and many others. Here are a few tips to keep in mind. It is important to make sure the room is well ventilated when using cleaners or other household products that may contain chemicals. Remember to store poisons away from food and drinks and install child proof latches on cabinets where you keep chemicals. If you believe your child has ingested or inhaled poisons, or if you have any questions, contact Oregon Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. If you would like to learn more about healthy green cleaners, Josiah Hill III Clinic offers green cleaning workshops that cover the warning words on cleaners and what they mean, show you how to make your own green/healthy cleaners and include a kit of materials to take home.
