I loved this book! I learned a lot and will be buying it to always have as a reference. I highly recommend it to those that would like to know what chemicals to look out for and why. Her recipes and cleaning techniques are very helpful.

I liked some of the cleaning tips but the writer herself is kind of annoying and obnoxious.

What an amazing resource for any homeowner to have. I received this as a wedding shower gift and I really only started investigating it a few months ago. The laid-out steps of the process of cleaning may seem tedious, but it helped remind me that it doesn't have to take forever and I can be efficient. I also liked that every cleaning agent she recommends is a common pantry item. Plus the gentle reminder about the effect of these chemicals we are putting in our body is good.

I've read several books on greening one's home and this has been the most comprehensive and practical. There are specific cleaning solutions for household tasks as well as adjusting one's cleaning attitudes. I just bought a 100% wool blanket from the Goodwill Outlet (yes, the rejects from the Goodwill Store $1.50/lb.) and can't wait to use her rain washing suggestion. The author also includes recipes for making your own dishwasher detergent and how to clean fruits, vegetables and meat using vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Who would have guessed? My chemist partner approves.

There are descriptions of the benefits of rejecting conventional products in both the micro-environment of your home and the global environment. These descriptions are especially useful for people with allergies because conventional notions such as avoiding down comforters turn out, according to current research, to be exactly the opposite.

Overall, I hope I can one day own this book!

Great ideas on how to clean your house minus all of the stinky chemicals that are sold at the store. Who knew that Vinegar cleans everything!? Maybe most people know that, but I didn't. Would be good to have around as a reference.

I LOVED this book. When I started reading it, I just couldn't put it down! I never thought a book about cleaning could be so entertaining on top of being so informative! I'm using many of the ideas I got from this book to help simplify my life.

I've read a lot of books in this genre, and this is hands down my favorite. There's practical advice, which is what you expect. But she really goes into the science behind it all. And her reasons for going greener are sound, not trendy.

Hard read. Read like a text book. Some good tips, but not much that I didn't already know.

It is as it sounds. Organic housekeeping. Stop poisoning yourself and your family with toxic supermarket crap.

Want to know how to clean your house without chemicals and keep it clean without learning the hard way from goof balls trying stuff out and pinning it to Pinterest? READ THIS BOOK, do what it says. It will save you a bunch of time and money. I was very happy with Green Housekeeping - even though I have been practicing it for several years now I learned plenty of new techniques and organizational skills. Much of it I already knew, and much of it was common sense but there were enough jewels of new tips and trick that it kept me happy with the book. This book is now a permanent fixture in my house as a reference.

Don't agree with some of the advice presented. The trouble with the "green" label is that you have to make sure that your definition matches the author's.

This is a more comprehensive book than I have read on the subject. There are many, many tips that are very helpful.
