Summary: Truly All Natural Recipes!!
Review: One of the problems I have with other books like this is that they only talk about vinegar and baking soda and lemon juice - or they suggest ingredients that are not natural at all! The great thing about this book is that it calls for using essential oils. GREAT cleaning power! And ALL of the ingredients suggested are totally natural. Nice presentation too, very informative. Thumbs up!

Summary: Okay, but not that helpful
Review: 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.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better books out there
Review: This book well writen and many of the recipes can be used immediately. The only thing that concerned me was when I went my local garden supply store, the clerk told me diotomeceous earth (pardon the misspelling) would probably be wiser not to use it because of the possible irritation to the lungs and suggest looking for brands such as 7th generation which has a whole line of eco/family friendly products to clean your whole house. You can find some of the products at gaiam.com.
