Get rid of the junk, and then don't bring more of it back into your home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Clean out under your sink, your cleaning closet, gardening shed, garage, and storage areas. Once your home is free from toxic, flammable, and other dangerous materials, learn how to avoid bringing more of this stuff back into your life.<\/p>\n
