I've decided to put to use my love of reading by reviewing the books I read (for better or for worse).
Today I review: DIY Household Green Cleaning by Sonia Cherry
Rating: 2 out of 10.
Pros: The book offers some information about chemicals and products to avoid. It was free.
Cons: Very short. Little useful information on what one should actually do. I don't feel like it delivered on what it promised: A DIY household green cleaning solution.
If I had spent money on this book, I would have to say I would have felt Green-washed. First, this book is even shorter than it seems. I started reading it when I took my economy class seat and was done reading it by the time the plane started to taxi for take-off. The real writing actually started on my kindle at 18 percent and ended at 69 percent.
Given there wasn't much in this book, I don't have much to say about it. Only, that perhaps while it was nice to know some of the products to avoid, what I really wanted to know was how to clean effectively with natural products. A few products were listed: vinegar, baking soda, boric acid and tea tree oil; but I think most people already know about these. I'd also mention that while boric acid is natural I don't recommend using it. Boric acid is a poison; it will kill insects (which is not something I want to happen) and can make you and your pets sick if ingested or not used correctly.
Anyways I don't think this book is worth 99 cents, let alone 2.99.
