Review & Description
NEW EDITION - COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED JULY 2011. Includes the latest information on the banning of toxic chemicals in the home environment both in the USA and UK.
The Cleaning Guru for The Guardian's Weekend Magazine Space Solves has helped hundreds of readers solve their impossible stains and cleaning catastrophes. Read 100+ of the best of her columns PLUS
• What about the vinegar? The best uses for vinegar, baking powder, lemon juice etc - what works and what doesn't.
• The Housework Hater's Healthy, Quick Cleaning Guide - clean without chemicals.
• Non-toxic stain removal - The Knowledge. Learn the quick, easy way to identify and treat stains instantly without the need of a chart.
• How to avoid the nasty chemicals lurking in everyday household products with links to online experts for further study.
And much, much more.
Done & Dusted is not anti-non-organic or anti-chemical - everything is made of chemicals - but about balance. How to avoid the possible nasties and make informed, affordable compromises. You'll find plenty of top tips for using everyday non-toxic products you have around the home for cleaning and stain removal, but also the occasional recommendation for chlorine bleach, oxalic acid and ammonia. Only as a last resort, though, when no other substance is likely to do the job. Where there are areas of confusion and controversy - the question of chemicals leaching from plastic bottles, for example, or whether we should be avoiding non-stick pans – carefully researched, non-alarmist, websites are recommended to help you make up your own mind.
".....I admit to being the worst house-cleaner of anybody who has
ever lived. I hate housework. But not any more! Done and Dusted has, as Gregg Wallace would yell: CHANGED —-MY—-LIFE! I don’t know Stephanie Zia. I’ve never met her. But by golly, she’s my heroine. BRILLIANT book. It should be required reading for every housewife/househusband." www.nodamnblog.wordpress.com March 3 2010
