Editorial Review:
Change the way you clean and keep your family's home wholesome and healthy with the help of expert and activist Deirdre Imus.
We all grew up thinking chemical smells like bleach and ammonia signaled "clean." But as Deirdre Imus reveals, some of the chemicals we use to maintain our homes are doing us and our families much more harm than good. In Greening Your Cleaning, the first in her Green This! series, Deirdre shows how cleaning house the environmentally responsible way can be as effective and often cheaper than the more traditional, toxic, means. This volume includes:
- Simple, efficient cleaning methods for every room of the house
- Spotlights on everyday products (all purpose cleaner, glass/window cleaner, laundry detergent) and the toxic ingredients you should be wary of
- Summaries of the latest research on the toxic effects of ordinary chemicals
- Resource lists of widely available "green cleaning" products and retailers
Filled with tips and testimonials, Greening Your Cleaning will show you how to streamline your cleaning products and practices, and how easy it is to make "living green" your way of life.

Book arrived on time and was in the described condition. Would recommend this seller
Rating: - Good, but sometimes vague

Her style is readable and she has some great ideas for all types of cleaning. However I sometimes found the information vague. For example in the laundry section she mentions stain and spot removal alternatives, and says that hydrogen peroxide can be used on whites to remove stains. She then ... Read More
Rating:  - No recipes; just talk and suggestions
I picked this book up today at my local supermarket. I was disappointed because I was expecting recipes for creating your own cleaning products. Instead, there were only suggestions, such as "add essential oil to your wash cycle." Yes, but how much. There were absolutely NO recipes for creating anything to clean with, and references were made to buy Premade cleaning products that are Green. I think there are better books that provide the same introduction to Green cleaning AND they provide the recipes ... Read More
