Green Up Your Cleanup

Good Perfect for First Home

reen Up Your Cleanup is a cleverly designed book with a standard spine that hides a spiral bound. It is a full color green cleaning manual. For example, several pages are devoted to explaining how to clean windows with large illustrations. Green products are used, as is a squeegee (instead of wasteful paper towels.) I like the suggested green cleaning potions--lots of vinegar and baking soda--both of which are cheap and very effective. What stood out to me was the practical spiral format, as it allows the book to lie flat and be used as a manual. The manual style is why this book is best suited for those who do not know how to clean. This is a perfect housewarming gift for young people who don't know how to clean and are moving into their first home.

Jill Schoff makes it easy to go green using down to earth language, easy to follow tips and examples, as well as great recipes for more eco-friendly cleaning products.This is a must for anyone getting their first apartment or their first home and would make a great gift!  New mothers will appreciate the emphasis on irritant and toxic free cleaning to keep their little ones safe and healthy and comfortable.

My favorite

I've read 'em all and this is my favorite - comprehensive 'but not overloaded or granola-goody-goody', well-illustrated, relevant, and you've gotta love the spiral binding so the book can lay flat.
