GREEN CLEAN: The Environmentally Sound Guide to Cleaning Your Home

I love this book because it gives in depth information for those wanting it. Not only does it give recipes for natural cleaning with everyday products like vinegar, baking soda, etc...it also gives green product lists for those wanting a faster, more convenient cleaning method without making homemade such as Mrs. Meyers and Seventh Generation. This book is also terrific as it's literally indestructible and waterproof! Use it and abuse and use it some more.

This only the second book on "green clean" that I have bought in the last few years. It will get you started on making your own safe cleaning products. I have to say that many do actually work better than their supermarket counterparts!

This book has provided a multitude of ideas for home solutions to clean items and spills in a truly environmentally friendly method. I have already told several friends and my daughter about it and they want to have their own copies.

very easy to flip through. this is a great book, can read it in a couple of hours, or can flip through it to find what you need. i would highly recommend

I bought this book after a glowing recommendation over at the Apartment Therapy: Green site. I thought that this would be just acollection of cleaning recipes and tips for my sensative skinned, allergenic self. However, it is so, so much more! This book really breaks down the real meaning of "green" cleaning, explores the ingrediants in "normal" cleaning products and reveals their effects on the environment (and you), and it also helps you create and make a habit of a regular green cleaning plan. A must for any home!

This book has a lot of great recipes and ideas for keeping your house green and clean. The paper used in the book can get wet, and it won't get ruined. I keep it with my regular cookbooks and refer to it ofte for help on making specific cleaning solutions.It would also be a great gift book.

I purchased Green Clean after reading the positive reviews from this Amazon site. I was so disappointed in this purchase that I only made it half way through the book and had to come on line right away to warn others of this useless publication. The first half of the book details why you should clean green, as I am a novice to green cleaning I felt I would learn at least something new I had not heard before. Unfortunately, this was not the case as the author's state well known issues with our societies over use of toxic substances and the hazards of many of the chemicals on the market today. Not only was the information common knowledge and very basic but the authors stated these points over and over again in relentless fashion until I gave up reading the book in a linear fashion and moved on to try to find information regarding the actual cleaning of my home. This publication offers few recipes on creating your own homemade cleaners only about 10 real pages of recipes in a 200 page publication and short changes the readers by simply encouraging them to just buy green products already on the market. To make matters worse I felt the advice given on cleaning in this text condescending and ridiculous. Who doesn't know to hang up towels to dry, to attend to stains immediately if they can, or how to sort laundry? Green Clean seems to me better suited for a simple website than a publication, I recommend you save your money or purchase Better Basics for the Home.

Priceless! Love that it's on durable tree free post consumer recycled material paper. Every page full of gold info!
