Easily a great reference to all things clean, Green Housekeeping has some really great tips and ideas for cleaning everything in, under, and around your home WITHOUT any chemicals. Most of the cleaning products listed in the book are already in your kitchen pantry. Vinegar, baking soda, salt, vodka, and potentially some borax seems to be all you need to clean anything that stains, splatters, or stinks. There is also a good section on pest control in and outside of the home. Sandbeck seems to have some serious OCD issues when it comes to clutter. Her chapter on decluttering was the most obsessive I've seen on the subject, but I strangely found her OCD highly entertaining. Her bathroom cleaning routine, though advertised as only taking "5 minutes a day" seems to use "5 towels a day". You definitely need a large laundry closet to heed some of her advice.
Green Housekeeping is worth having around for the next stain you can't seem to remove, the appliances you want sparkling, or the bug you want dead, all without toxic chemicals.
