The biggest problem with traditional wood stains is VOCs. VOCs and their byproducts can caue eye/skin irritation, lung and breathing problems, headache, nausea, and liver and kidney damage. This product is water-based, minimizing those fumes and allowing for easier cleanup

Safecoat does not contain solvents, heavy metals, chemical residuals, formaldehyde and other harmful preservatives. Choose from Birch, Cedar, Mahogany, Oak, Maple, Redwood and Maple. (via Ideal Bite)

One of the worst chemicals I hate to deal with is paint stripper. I'd like to find out if this works as well as it should.

No-odor SOY Gel is the perfect helper for anyone wanting to remove paints, urethanes, and enamels.

Poor Richard's Woodserve

First to recommend

Description

Now, I am excited about this product. Why?
1. The brain-child of two guys tired of petroleum products
2. "No heavy metal drying agents, harsh chemicals or petroleum. Made up of natural oils, the majority of which are recycled, and fruit oils."
3. Can be used in organic garden to treat posts and lumber, for decks and arbors or indoors to restore nature wood trim and cabinets.

These guys tout "at least 70% of all of our products is derived from vegetable oil that we recycle from restaurants and culinary schools."

Natural Ingredients
Biodegradable
Non-petroleum
No Synthetics (via Ideal Bite)

porchtorch 64oz

First to recommend

Description

These two guys who started making non-petroleum, safe oils are my new favorite people. This is fuel for your patio torch (as I do not use one since the traditional oil makes me nervous). Made 100% natural (from recycled restaurant oil) and biodegradable with added citrus smell.
Comes with wick best suited for their oil. Now, I'm off to the store to finally get a torch.....

Waspinator

Description

Sometimes cleaning means prevention. Is it just me or do I just know lots of people with wasp problems?

This bag (that mimics the shape of a wasp nest) natually discourages wasps from setting up shop - they are territorial and will go elsewhere. Made from 100% recycled polyester. No pesticides!

Bug Off Instant Screen

First to recommend

Description

I recommended this well over a year ago and I still haven't purchased, so I'm reminding myself and you!
Perfect for the entertaining family that lives near water, especially those with kid that never quite get the screen door shut!

"Hands-free pass through, magnetic closure and ease of installation make the Bug Off Instant Screen an excellent choice wherever an insect barrier is required. The durable fiberglass mesh hangs from a spring tension rod at the top of the doorjamb and the sides are secured with hook-and-loop closures. Vinyl-reinforced magnets keep screen shut. Installs in minutes without tools, and will not damage the door frame. USA."

Doggie Dooley Pet Waste Digester System

First to recommend

Description

I don't know what I think about this. It's probably less gross than it is, but I'll have to ajust to the idea of accumulating dog poo.
"Automatically reduces pet wastes to a ground absorbing liquid that is harmless to pets, wildlife and the environment - will not damage grass or shrubs"

What's Your Solar Potential? - RoofRay

First to recommend

Description

Find out how much you could be saving with solar!

Enter your address and a satellite image of your house appears. Add solar panel spots and the angle of your roof and the program calculates how much you would save monthly, on your electric bill, if solar panels were added.

I couldn't get the right electric company to pop up, but I got an idea anyway. Perhaps if I signed up, it would be more accurate. (via Treehugger)

They use 100% recycled glass to hand make tiles. They add nothing to it when it comes to them. Plus, they ship in 100% recycled materials.
