Cleaning Most dish-washing liquids and detergents are made from petroleum; some contain alkylphenol ethoxylates, which are suspected hormone disruptors. If in doubt, buy natural products (such as Ecover), wash your hands with plain soap, and clean your windows with vinegar or lemon juice.
Children Avoid most plastic feeding bottles, which can contain bisphenol A, a hormone-disrupting chemical. Don't use old dummies and PVC toys that may contain now-banned phthalates. If pregnant, avoid paint or using DIY products that emit fumes. Buy children's clothes and pyjamas without plastic logos or chemical treatments.
