Chemicals to avoid in household cleaners is a good article. Mrs. Meyers makes a new line for people who's allergies are triggered by odors. It's completely Odor-Free and cleans great.... just mentioning this because many people mentioned that they are sensitive to the vinegar smell in another article earlier.
