Household cleaner. Supermarket shelves are full of brightly-colored, good-smelling, super-power household cleaning agents. The average home contains at least a dozen different cleaning products. These products are found in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry area and the garage. Think of laundry detergent, toilet bowl cleaner, bleach, stain and mildew removers, floor cleaner, ammonia, oven cleaner, scouring powders, window cleaner, pine-oil cleaners, disinfectants and all-purpose cleaners that you probably have in your home. All of these products are advertised to clean better and faster, to make your life cleaner, safer and more enjoyable. On the down side, household cleaners are responsible for a large number of accidental poisonings. A majority of the cleaners are packaged in large, attractive containers. Most do not have child-resistant packaging.

The depressurization test is the normal method of finding out how tight a house is and where air leaks are occurring. Air is sucked out of the house through an exhaust fan.
