Cleaning Up the World with Kate Jakubas

Many of the most popular cleaning and laundry products are filled with chemical ingredients that are harmful to our health and the environment…chemicals that make products blue, or smell like flowers, or make clothes appear white and bright, or counteract the effects of other chemicals in the product. They all take their toll once they go down the drain.
