naturally clean: the seventh generation guide to safe & healthy non-toxic cleaning naturally clean: the seventh generation guide to safe & healthy non-toxic cleaning
Jeffrey Hollender & Geoff Davis, with Meika Hollender and Reed Doyle

Compelling evidence links the chemicals in household products to cancer, asthma, allergies, multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome - also known as environmental illness - hormonal disruption, reproductive and developmental disorders, and other conditions. Yet cleaning products are exempt from the full ingredient disclosure on product labels as required for food and personal care products and enter the marketplace with little or no testing for potential health risks. "Naturally Clean" explains the dangers of traditional cleaners and provides illuminating statistics that illustrate how the chemicals found in almost every home are known or likely to cause a host of serious health problems.

The book's easy-to-understand introduction discusses basic household chemistry, concepts of toxicity and types of toxic exposure, and the difference between natural, organic, and synthetic chemicals. A room by room guide provides tips for: a healthier kitchen keeping your bedrooms safe mould, mildew and soap scum: spotless bathrooms, and special precautions for cleaning children's rooms. "Naturally Clean" also features a comprehensive product selection guide that analyses over 300 natural and traditional cleaners: everything from laundry products through oven cleaners, disinfectants, spot removers, carpet cleaners and bathroom cleaners. Aimed at the US, this book is still very relevant to UK customers. 202pp

precycle! precycle!
Paul Peacock

Would it surprise you that you could make a carpet cleaner for pennies that cost pounds? That you can make your own bacon, good bacon at that - far better than you can buy, for almost the price of cheap pork? Would you like to be able to make sauces at a penny a bottle or bread for a third of the price? Would it surprise you that the majority of the powder in the automatic washing powder is simply washing soda, and that this product works better for a fraction of the cost?
Amongst all the fear and financial turmoil the world is experiencing, this book points a finger towards a different way of living and shows that we all shouldn’t just accept what is packaged up for our convenience as it is all too frequently too expensive, too polluting and ineffectual. It was borne out of an idea that the food the author bought from the supermarket often had ingredients that are not for him at all, but for the seller of the product in order to make it last longer on a shelf and bring down the unit cost. So he decided simply to leave it on the shelf and make his own. In short, this is a trip around the supermarket and points out how you can make what you find on the shelves. 224pp
