Clean House!

Book Description
Homes should be havens, but how to make them so? In Clean House! Alison Haynes says the key is smart housekeeping, which incorporates a number of related ideas: that a house should be "healthy"; that living in it and maintaining it should not take a toll on the environment; and that it should be comfortable and safe to live in, not unnecessarily expensive to maintain, and efficient to run on a day-to-day basis. Haynes offers a wealth of strategies to create a healthier and safer home environment, from making "green choices" like using safe and gentle bicarbonate of soda instead of harsh chemicals to clean the bathroom, to assessing furniture, carpets, curtains, and decor for problematic substances. Clean House! demystifies household management by explaining how to de-clutter every room, deter dust mites, decode detergent labels, dehumidify bathroom and bedroom, and devise simple storage systems that work. With instructive color photos throughout, this book shows how to transform any home or apartment into a sanctuary of comfort and cleanliness.
