Customer Reviews

A fun and helpful book

I just bought this book because after just having a baby, I was looking for less toxic cleaning solutions for my home and family. The recipes are sooooo simple to make, you won't have to spend lots of time searching for random items. Everything can be found at your local grocery store. It is easy to read and actually funny...this book threatens to make you want to clean your home. A recipe for general household cleaner includes water, borax soap, vineger or lemon juice, and a 1/8 teaspoon of dishwashing soap. You could use an even milder soap if you wanted. There are fun tidbits of history such as how the dishwasher got invented, how no one used to clean their rugs before the vacuum cleaner was invented. I liked it so much I want to by the other books in the series. For someone who wants to learn how to clean everything with everyday products that are safe and non-toxic, this book is for you. If you are looking for a serious "green" living handbook, I'd suggest a different book. This book would be fun for any mom trying to get her kids more involved in cleaning, too.

Back to the Basics

This book is great for getting back to the basics in cleaning, etc. The old ways are somttimes better than using a lot of chemicals
