 Synopsis August 4, 2008
Clean Your House for Pennies a Day THE SAFE NON-TOXIC WAY
From the back of the book:
Save Your Health, Your Money, Your Planet
How many times have you said you're killing yourself trying to keep your house clean? You might have been joking, but you're closer to the truth than you think if you're using expensive commercial cleansers. Karen Logan, an environmentalist with years of experience developing and selling her own line of eco-friendly cleaning products, reveals the secret of using simple, ordinary ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, soap, lemon juice, and salt to make safe, inexpensive cleaners.
For instance, did you know:
* Olive oil is not only good as a salad dressing but also as a furniture polish
* Plain club soda works great as a window cleaner
* You can make your copper-bottomed pots sparkle with just lemon juice and salt
* And ordinary liquid soap and water will clean up those ants marching through your kitchen?
Happy, healthy cleaning!
 old ideas into a book July 8, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
While the writer has great ideas of cleaning products that are harmful to use in the house and what they have in them, she uses old concepts that my grandmother used 50 years ago. This book is not really all that useful in my opinion when just basic baking soda and white vinegar have been a cleaning substance for many years. This book is not original at all.
 Good informative book July 2, 2008

I love this little book. I have tried several of the recipes for cleaners and find that they work very well. It is unfortunate that the author can't be reached. She made a point of stating in the book that she was available ..had special bottles for the products etc. But , as it has been several years since the book was written, she seems to have dropped out of sight. I have been able to find adequate containers...and have begun to switch to using mostly these products for cleaning. I purchased a few basic essential oils...the price for them was quite reasonable..and Dr Bronners soaps are wonderful. It is pleasure to clean with products that don't make you gasp for breath...and knowing that I am doing something to help save the earth is a really good thing.
A bit dated, but still the best June 15, 2008

I've read just about all of the "natural cleaning" books out nowadays, and I feel this one is still the best. Not only are these recipes safe, but they WORK. From one who hates cleaning and tries to avoid it as much as possible, I actually have found myself enjoying working with peppermint-scented bathroom cleaners, just as an example.
Oh, and finding the various bottles needed isn't all that hard using the internet. :)
Great! But where is she? May 2, 2008
I like this book a lot. I have used some of the recipes, but vinegar and plain baking soda alone are my preferred cleaning ingredients. It's very motivating and a great rescource for various 'green' cleaning needs
However, her website, no longer exists. The 818 telephone number has also been disconnected. I wanted to check out some of her products. Does any one know where I can find her company?
