Question from C.S.
Though I’m diligent, many items in our home still may have been treated with chemical flame retardants. How can I find out what is and what isn’t? Is there a way or place to have samples tested? My children want their prized stuffed animals back in their beds, and I really like my burlap bed skirt.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of home test that does this.
Duke University has a program that allows you to send in polyurethane foam from household mattresses and furniture to see if it has flame retardants.
