PAINTS Keep green in mind and use ECO paints and varnishes and strippers. (many oil-based paints contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that turn into gas. Choose a low VOC paint for your bedroom and you’re less likely to wake feeling fuzzy-headed.
House painting is recognised as a cancer-risk career).
