Love this book!

If you want to go GREEN, this is a great starter book.
I am buying all of the ladies in my family a copy.

Great purchase for everyone

I really liked this book and it gave a lot of helpful tips about hot to clean your house using all natural products. The book talks about how harmful all the additives and chemicals in cleaners are and it makes sense. There is a little bit of fluff with just common recommendations about random parts of life but it is very interesting and helpful. I would definately recommend this book.

Green advice that's easy to use!

I borrowed this book from the library to check it out first. But, now I'm buying it. The beginning could be skipped if you want to get right to the nitty-gritty! :) The recipes for cleaners are at the end and they work well!
I highly recommend this book to save you money and most imporantly, help save the environment!

Bamboozled no more!

I used to think I had to use the nuclear option to clean my house. I had to use the harshest chemicals to disinfect and clean. Then I had a baby and read about the dangers that household cleaners pose to her development and decided I'd use a little more elbow grease to keep my family (and the environment) safe. New research has shown that breast cancer, for instance, is more environmental than hereditary. Its cause has been linked to 200 everyday chemicals including the dioxins in household bleach. Another reason I made the switch.

This book has recipes for cleaning and shares the history of cleaning products. After reading it I realized my cleaning choices had been shaped by the successful marketing of companies who were selling dangerous chemicals in pretty bottles. Now, I buy natural, human and environmentally safe products or whip up my own cleaning products on the cheap!

Replacing poison with other poisons...?

This book offers a wealth of tips on cleaning a home in an environmentally sane manner. It warns against rubbing layer on layer of poisonous chemical cleaners. It lists known-green replacement products, as well as recipes to make your own.

What struck me was to see Borax occur as a regular ingredient in those recipes, since this is a toxic material, according to Wikipedia:

[...].

Note however, that there are lots of recipes using simpler ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar and castile soap. And the explanation of the simple chemistry involved is quite nice.
