Simply Clean is the absolutely correct name for this book. I recommend it to anyone who does household cleaning work. I have been using the author's recommendations for a few weeks now. At the beginning I bought 1 kg of baking soda, and now I use a self-mixed product consisting of water/vinegar/liquid soap organic for kitchen/oven/bathroom/toilet for everything (except marble/stone/wood) with a super result and for little money. I discovered this book while searching for non-toxic cleaning products. My recommendation for all those who want to take care of a toxin-free household.

In "SIMPLY CLEAN for a healthy home - The room-by-room plan for a natural home", author, businesswoman, blogger and mother of three, Becky Rapinchuk, explains how to clean and keep your home clean without toxins. Personally, I was mainly interested in this book because there is a muck out and clean up plan for all rooms in the house as well as a cleaning guide/schedule. First, the author analyses what ingredients are in common cleaning products and that the labels "organic" or "natural" don't always mean exactly that. Unfortunately, there's too much "background" information for my taste. There are also overviews and lists, but for me there is too much text and too little 'factual overview'. In addition, Becky Rapinchuk is a little too radical for my taste and the ingredients and products she recommends refer to the American market and the links are all in English, which is a shame. More sources for the German-speaking market could have been provided here. I also had to find out what the Castile soap that Becky so often uses in her recipes actually is. The second part of the detox weekend describes how to get rid of toxins in the house in a short space of time. And in the third section, there is a detailed room-by-room detox for the whole house, including decluttering and cleaning. Here every single room in the house is listed in detail; what needs to be checked and then a list of the best ways to declutter and clean. At the end of each section there are recipes for homemade cleaning products, air fresheners, fabric fresheners, detergents, soaps, disinfectants etc. I find the detailed procedure here very informative and helpful, but it is sometimes a little disorganised, as recipes for homemade soap, for example, can be found on different pages. At the end, there are not only references to products and ingredients, but also a good tip (with a list, of course) on which days you should do which household chores. If you do a little bit every day, it's not so much at once and it's fun (according to Becky) - unfortunately I'll never enjoy tidying and cleaning! ;) Conclusion: Good idea of decluttering, detoxing and detoxifying the household; it would have been even better if this book had been created directly for German-speaking countries.
