COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Review this book and then buy it! submitted by mickplu on July 22, 2018, 1:53pm I loved this book to the extent that I'm going to buy a copy to have on hand. There's chapters on reducing clutter, waste prevention and numerous "maintenance" tips for various parts of your house. I love the recipes for creating your own cleaning supplies.

Organic Housekeeping submitted by lstorc on July 18, 2019, 7:52pm This was good overall, but the cost effectiveness mentioned in the title isn't realistic with the methods that work well. That said, it's not a huge price jump. The recipes are delightful.
