I plan to use our Guest House web page to advertise that we provide a clean and safe place to stay. I will also start asking guests to do a 'green" review.

I have been chemialy poisioned and I can not stay in hotel rooms with chemical air fresheners. I get so many compliments on how "clean" our house is. that is because I am not using those terrible air fresheners that have insectacides in them.

Ours B&B is small and we care for it like we do our own house. No cleaner smells or cover up perfumed air fresheners. Our guests really appreciate it.

Since it is just my husband and myself we do all the cleaning and care of the house, this includes cleaning, and laundry. If we do get a 'funny" smell we use an air cleaner to freshen the air.
