This review is from: The Naturally Clean Home: Over 100 Safe and Easy Herbal Formulas for Nontoxic Cleansers (Paperback)
I wish I had known about this book years ago... I have tried quite a few of the receipes and find that they work so well...I really like making the laundry soap... and the tub and tile cleaner work so well. I can see no reason to go down the cleaning Isle ever again...thank you

This review is from: The Naturally Clean Home: Over 100 Safe and Easy Herbal Formulas for Nontoxic Cleansers (Paperback)
I bought this book while we were expecting our first baby and I'm really glad I did. No more harmful chemicals in our cleaners! What I really like about this book though is that the formulas are very easy to make and use and you soon realize you never needed all those store bought cleaners in the first place. Now our home is a healthier place for our newborn daughter.

Okay, but not that helpful,
By "jennycrestedbutte" (Crested Butte) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Naturally Clean Home: Over 100 Safe and Easy Herbal Formulas for Nontoxic Cleansers (Paperback)
This book seems complete and thorough, but in fact it is really just rehash of a few recipes over and over again. The recipes, for the most part, are the same with different essential oils added, so that the book seems to hold more homemade cleaners than it really does. Nevertheless, those recipes that they do list are pretty effective, especially their antimold spray. The liquid laundry soap does not work. (And I tried the recipe twice,just in case I messed up the first time.) Also, the book's dimensions make it difficult to leave open while attempting to prepare the cleaners. There are plenty of books out there on this subject, and this is not one of the better ones. It's okay.
