HottAndHandy Green Tip of the week

Many paints contain additives known as VOC's, "Volatile Organic Compounds". The problem is that VOC's don't stay in the paint, but evaporate as the paint dries and are released into the air. They have been connected with some health and environmental concerns so your apprehension, especially around an infant, is warranted.

Fortunately for our clients, HottAndHandy only uses paint's that are low or no VOC's and low odor. You can find these types of paint at most hardware stores, Just ask for "no VOC's" or organic paints. This is a testament that we are committed to the environment and our clients health.
