Product Description
Longing for a kinder, gentler world? As the ancient adage goes, everything starts at home, and odds are, if you live in the all-American household, the air inside is more toxic than the air outside, even if you live in the most polluted of cities. You regularly handle the filthiest object in your home — the kitchen sponge — and place the same chemicals on your face that are used in brake fluid and antifreeze.
The cleaning agents and personal care products commonly marketed to and used in American homes contain not only some very treacherous, toxic chemicals, but they also make an “overly clean,” chemically bombed-out house that compromises immune systems. And with more than fifty million Americans suffering from allergies and additional autoimmune diseases — not to mention the developing and fragile immune systems of children and seniors — large numbers of people are really being made sicker and sicker by their homes.
Learn to live a clean, healthy, more economical way with Ellen Sandbeck, the nontoxic avenger. In this must-have book for the twenty-first- century home, this passionate, witty advocate of all things organic will teach you how to maintain every part of the home — from living room to septic tank, kitchen floor to bathroom sink — using safe, simple cleansers and quick preventative measures as well as the most effective organic products on the market to get the job done.
Learn time-saving, preventative housekeeping, such as taking thirty seconds to clean the shower while you shower. Take care of bathroom stains with baking soda and vinegar rather than commercial, toxic bathroom “bombs” peddled to you with such force by manufacturers. Need whiter whites? There is no bleaching power on planet stronger than the sun. Snow clean your fine rugs. Choose fruits and vegetables from the relatively insect killer residue-free list. Clean felt-tipped pen stains with vodka. Make furniture shine with lime oil and lemon. Your house will also smell as fantastic as it looks.

I saw this book at a bookstore and rushed home to Amazon to get it.
It is a fantastic reference for housekeeping. I couldn’t judge all the things you can do with random household products. Like baking soda… Awesome!

I was a bit disappointed, same ancient stuff rehashed. AND, not full of do it yourself cleaners/remedies like one would suppose. Not nearly as ‘Organic’ as germ o’phobe…pages and pages on microscopic blah blah….I clean my home with organic products as much as possible,75%,and feed my family tree organic food…was hoping for a better mix of NEWER info, as there is A LOT of it, just surf the web!

This book is really fantastic for using products that are inexpensive and they really do work. You don’t need to buy all persons expensive cleaning products that also relief toxins into the air. Ever marvel why you have a headache after a major cleaning project? Well it is most likely the toxins unrestricted into the air. Organic is the way to go.

I am impressed with the wealth of information available in this book. We have a problem with mess and I have already begun using her thoughts! Throwing things out, building a rolodex of where items are and labeling cabinets so items go where they belong. I also tried borax for cleaning my marble bathroom sink and it did a better job then anything else I’ve ever tried.
I like how the book is written and if an item relates to something else in the book, it tells you what page to find the related item on so you don’t have to search for it. This one book covers what 3-4 of my others books combined take in! I reflect the book was worth every penny.
