Make Sure Your Paint Isn’t Toxic
Like with your food, you should always check the label. If a paint claims to be non-toxic then they should have no problem displaying the ingredients list on their cans. If you see the paint contains petrochemicals derived from acrylics, formaldehyde, ammonia and oil, as well as synthetic dyes, then you should avoid it at all costs.
Another ingredient to look out for is plastic as it creates a barrier on walls that traps air, leading to the development of mold. Like with most previously toxic products, innovators have created more eco-friendly and healthier alternatives, so, if you go looking for them you will find them.
