This book paid for itself

Tonight is New Year's Eve. My kitchen drain became severely clogged. I am against using chemical drain cleaners for environmental reasons. After a couple of hours of plunging, I decided to call a plumber in the morning (New Year's Day) and pay the holiday fee. As a last resort, I got out this book and tried their environment-friendly recipe for cleaning drains (boiling water, vinegar, and baking soda) and in about 15 minutes, my drain cleared. I could buy many more copies of this book for what I would have paid the plumber. Thanks Linda and Mikki! Happy New Year!

Easy Entry into Greening Your Home

This book is a great intro into how to change the way you clean without requiring a trip to a specialty store. I've often felt at a loss for how to begin to make more eco-friendly choices. This book was written in such a clear and straight forward way that it was easy to make the changes. I found the recipes to be very straight forward and easy to implement with ingredients I could get at Target or the local grocery store. I think this is a great book for someone who needs a basic guide to get them started in the world of eco-friendly cleaning.

Good primer on general cleaning for the environmentally-conscious!

As a new wife unfamiliar with the tasks required to keep a home, I found this to be a great help. She's really only covering the basics of home care, and offering a few recipes to get you started.

I think this book is really meant to be more of a jumping-off point for beginners: those of us who are new both to cleaning and to cleaning 'green'. Oldhats at cleaning and/or green cleaning would probably find this particular book tedious, however. For those, she lists several other books. I haven't read these, but if you're already cleaning green you might want to try Vinegar: Over 400 Various, Versatile, and Very Good Uses You've Probably Never Thought Of , Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and Frugal Uses You've Probably Never Thought Of (Lansky, Vicki), The Naturally Clean Home: 100 Safe and Easy Herbal Formulas for Non-Toxic Cleansers.

Good Starter Book

The layout of this book is accessible and user-friendly. The first part of the book seemed unnecessary, with background on basic cleaning and organization princples, but the second half was packed with great information! With recipes for making your own cleaners, resources on green living, sources for commerical "green" products/lifestyle info, and detailed delineations on natural stain fighting, this book would be a great primer for anyone looking for suggestions on how to start going green.
