My older son,
after the usual extreme messy phase around middle school, became a very tidy
human being. When he moved out, he left
behind Alison Haynes’s book Clean House!. I hope this was not a commentary on my
personal housekeeping skills.
The book could be
a useful gift for a kid moving out on his or her own who did not have regular
chores, or even as a reference for a kid who did. It covers the basics of household management
in a readable style with many handy charts.
Better, it does all of this from a more ecologically sound perspective
than some of us may have learned growing up.
There are even recipes for non-toxic cleaners of all sorts.
Our environment
can make us healthier or it can make us sicker.
We can choose. This book could be
the tool some of us might need.
