(More customer reviews)While I would normally completely ignore books on things that I already know how to do, this book intrigued me so I flipped through it. After that initial preview, I couldn't put it down. There are so many things in this book that I wish I had known when my husband and I were first married or when our children were younger. It's never too late to put good ideas into practice, though, so I plan to start using implementing the ideas immediately.
Do you know how you can use baking soda, vinegar, club soda, salt, borax and other natural cleaning products? I didn't - until I read this book!
Rachelle Strauss discusses the difference between the common toxic household cleaners most people use today and readily available more eco-friendly cleaners that were available to our grandparents and that we still have access to today. She tells how you can use these cleaners, when and where it is appropriate to use them, and she actually explains why many conventional cleaning products are not a good option rather than just saying to "go green." Best of all, her options do not cost a fortune. We've switched to some of her methods already and they actually SAVE you money!
I would highly recommend this book to any family. It would be an especially wonderful gift for any newly married couple or someone who is moving out on their own for the first time!!
