Product Description

Review

"Packed with practical insights and solutions to protect our families. Deirdre Imus asks the provocative question, 'Is the way we clean really good for us?' Read on to find the startling answer."-- Mehmet C. Oz, M.D., author of You: An Owner's Manual

Product Description

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but disappointing., Jun 1 2007

By	J. Turnbull-Sousa (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

I love to clean my home using natural agents such as vinegar and essential oils, so when I saw Dierdre Imus on TV promoting her new book, I was very interested. I assumed that the book would contain a wealth of recipes and instructions for natural cleaning. I was disappointed to find that it does not. There is a lot of interesting information on the common toxic chemical cleaners today and the ill effects that such cleaners have on our health and the well-being of our children, but the helpful information pretty much ends there. In section 2 of the book, each chapter deals with a part of the home - bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc. There are some helpful little tips and tricks here and there, but I was disappointed to find that most times all that was suggested was to clean with a 'non-toxic' cleaner, without providing any recipe to make one at home or any brand name non-toxic product to purchase as an alternative.
I really do not believe this book was worth the money I paid for it. You may enjoy it if you are looking to be more educated regarding the 'bigger issues' of cleaning using toxic agents and how dangerous these can be. However, if you are looking for recipes on how to make effective homemade natural cleaners, I strongly recommend the book 'Clean Home, Clean Planet' by Karen Logan.
