clothes bedding definitely, it has a weird chemical smell. Listening to radio 4 today, think it was "costing the earth". About VOCs in your carpets, bedding. New carpets give off formaldehyde It's why we have plants everywhere indoors Veg, not if it's going to be peeled
the bedlinen demons didn't get me last night. I've survived a night on a brand new, UNWASHED fitted sheet. My skin hasn't dissolved. Who'd have thought. As you know, I'm a " fly by the seat of my pants" kinda guy.
Which shows (on page 13) that 38% of tested Fruit and Veg contained no Pesticides, 59% contained pesticides at or below the allowed level and 3.3% contained pesticides above the allowed level

Veg - stick it in a colander and rinse it under the tap. Fruit, usually just wipe it. Soft fruit I rarely buy it, so it's normally straight off the plant, occasionally picking off the wildlife as I go. Bedding, always wash it first as OH gets migraines from most strong smelling detergents and from dust.
