Change the way you clean and keep your family's home wholesome and healthy with the help of expert and activist Deirdre Imus.
We all grew up thinking chemical smells like bleach and ammonia signaled "clean." But as Deirdre Imus reveals, some of the chemicals we use to maintain our homes are doing us and our families much more harm than good. In
Greening Your Cleaning
, the first in her

Spotlights on everyday products (all purpose cleaner, glass/window cleaner, laundry detergent) and the toxic ingredients you should be wary of
Summaries of the latest research on the toxic effects of ordinary chemicals
Resource lists of widely available "green cleaning" products and retailers
Filled with tips and testimonials,
will show you how to streamline your cleaning products and practices, and how easy it is to make "living green" your way of life.
