'Green Cleaning' is a nice short book full of hints, tips and recipes to help you clean naturally. The book is divided into five subheading sections: 1) vinegar 2) bicarbonate of soda 3) lemons 4) salt and 5) other green alternatives.
Under each heading the authors give you tips on how to clean in all areas of the house using these ingredients! Couldn't be more simple. For instance, to clean a drain the book suggests one uses a cup of warm vinegar and half a packet of bicarb. Pour this down the drain -- bicarb first -- don't mix it together in a container or anything (unless you really want it exploding all over you... I speak from past experience!) and then pour the vinegar down the drain after it enjoying the fizz -- leave for two hours; then pour hot water down the drain and voila! Clean unblocked-drains. The other ideas are just as simple.
Highly recommended.

I have moved from using environmentally friendly cleaning products to 'green cleaning' and wouldn't have known where to start without this book. It is very useful and has masses of tips and suggestions laid out in useful sections. Main sections on vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, salt and lemons and then a smaller section at the back of some other useful items that can be used alone or in combination with the previously listed items.Occassionally not enough detail on quantities but trial an error is probably fine. A great book to keep to hand given every houshold has to do some cleaning now and again!

This book takes 'highlights' from the other similar books on vinegar, bicarb and lemons etc., so you don't need to get those as well like I did, just get this one. I do feel that soda crystals (aka. sodium carbonate, washing soda) deserved their own section. The section on borax is out of date as this is now banned as a cleaning product in the EU due to safety issues.

Eco friendly and money saving!
I expected this book to cover more options than the 3 main ones of vinegar, lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda. Read more

Very useful if you dislike the chemicals of today's world
This book covers just about everything you can do with these natural ingredients. It's good because it includes all of them instead of just focusing on one ingredient, but it can... Read more

Not well organised
Plenty of tips though often you do have to guess quantities until methods work for you.
My biggest problem with this little book is that there's no useful index. Read more
