Although I don't think I'll ever come close to cleaning as often as this book suggests (e.g., it mentions vacuuming every day if you have pets or kids...never going to happen in my world), this was an extremely helpful guide to how to clean without toxic chemicals. Even more so, it was a helpful guide on how to clean! I wish I had read something like this years ago. The tips for hardwood floors were especially relevant and helpful for me. I also love that there are a couple DIY green cleaning product recipes inside. This was borrowed from the library, but I'm almost tempted to purchase a copy as a home reference.

I love this. It will be nice to have less clutter in the cleaning closet, and less fear of one of the children getting into something and hurting huself.
