These days, more and more people are saying no to convenient living through the use of chemicals and yes to a lifestyle that is less toxic and more environmentally friendly. This trend toward a more natural lifestyle has become something of a crusade for Annie Berthold-Bond, author of Better Basics for the Home. After developing hypersensitivity to even very low concentrations of chemicals, Berthold-Bond was forced to rid her life of as many toxins as possible. This book represents the culmination of her search for a more sustainable lifestyle.

Better Basics for the Home

The author offers more than 800 simple and practical alternatives to common household toxins, covering everything from skin care to gardening. And the good news is that adopting her suggestions and formulas isn’t hard at all.

This book is very suitable for the beginning green cleaner. Better Basics for the Home is also for people who are really serious about green cleaning, personal hygiene, pest control and other aspects of running a household.

Better Basics for the Home does a nice job of covering the basic products that you can use to clean and disinfect your home.

The book is organized as follows:

• The Basics
• Housekeeping
• Skin Care
• Whole Body Care
• Gardening, Pets, and Pest Control
• House Care and Hobbies

Sure, these days it’s literally impossible to lead a life that is completely toxin-free. But you can significantly reduce your exposure, and picking up a copy of Better Basics for the Home is a great way to get started.
