TORONTO - Some doctors are warning household cleaners may not be so good for your child's health.

Cleaning products must warn if they are flammable or poisonous but manufacturers aren't required to list which chemicals are actually in the products.

Canadians like their homes to be very clean. So much so, that young families spray tables, wipe down chairs and mop floors to make sure their children don't end up dirty or pick up bacteria.

"I find it very troubling that those kinds of chemicals are being sprayed in a child's crib," says Kathy Cooper, a senior researcher with the Canadian Environmental Law Association. "I think it's unnecessary and I worry about the long term toxicity."Sean Ellis, a toxicologist who tests the air in people's homes, says a combination of cleaners can make people dizzy or have headaches.

Ellis says some people seem to think cleaning products are all natural. They are mostly chemical.
