Question from beebes
I have a 2 year old and we have had a bad year with respect to illnesses — we’ve had norovirus and flu twice (once with very high fevers lasting over two weeks). I try to keep toxic chemicals out of our house, particularly in cleaning supplies. So I’ve been looking for a cleaner that can disinfect and kill norovirus, H1N1, etc. Vital-Oxide was recommended and is on the EPA approved list. Any thoughts, either on Vital-Oxide or other disinfectants?

Vital-Oxide looks fine to me in terms of toxic exposure. It does not contain toxic chemicals, but rather uses oxygen to oxide bacteria and mold.
My only concern is that the website says it is in the form of nanoparticles. Still, I think this would be a better choice that toxic chemicals if you must use a disinfectant.
