This is one of the coolest purchases and choices I've ever made. Easy to read, fun and personable, very very user friendly, and fun facts to help out daily tasks!I clean up after people, dogs, cats….serious wear and tear. Now I can keep my house smelling great, naturally clean, and pretty safe in terms of non-chemical cleaners. I've only gotten into a few formulas for different cleaning but am already mixing my favorite scents. I give serious props to Karyn Siegel-Maier on her ability to make home making FUN! I actually look forward to it. One of my favorites is the baking soda/essential oil deoderizer before vacuuming. I also am falling in love with the essential oils. Aromatherapy is huge!Thanks to this book I have found extra uses for the Eucalyptus oil - my husband has horrible allergies and asthma, so at night I sprinkle a little of the oil near his pillow and it helps ease his breathing so he can sleep soundly. The other night he was having an extra hard time with his lungs and he put some drops on a hot wet cloth and breathed it in for a while - it worked amazingly!I could go on and on about this book. For such a small financial price, it gives so much, and she is very adamant about making the switch to green cleaning AFFORDABLE. It's like my little handbook to happiness for my home and I wish I could shake the author's hand!
