Announcing the Naturally Clean Contest!

So, since I’m always touting the health and environmental benefits of using natural, non-toxic cleaners I’ve decided to hold the Daily Tomorrow Naturally Clean Contest! It’s going to be fun and easy and the winner will get their very own copy of this book…

Naturally Clean: The Seventh Generation Guide to Safe & Healthy, Non-toxic Cleaning

Book Description

Naturally Clean explains the dangers of traditional cleaners and provides illuminating statistics that illustrate how the chemicals found in almost every home are known or likely to cause a host of serious health problems. The book’s easy-to-understand introduction discusses basic household chemistry, concepts of toxicity and types of toxic exposure, and the difference between natural, organic, and synthetic chemicals.

Naturally Clean also features a comprehensive Product Selection Guide that analyses over 300 natural and traditional cleaners: everything from laundry products through oven cleaners, disinfectants, spot removers, carpet cleaners and bathroom cleaners. This handy, easy-to-use reference rates the household cleaning products found on the shelves of natural food and grocery stores providing Seventh Generation’s pick of your healthiest and safest options. A resource guide tells readers where to find additional information, and an at-a-glance glossary helps understand key terms.

And

Royalties from the sale of Naturally Clean will benefit the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition in their efforts to educate parents about environmental toxins that can affect children’s health.
