Most of us are happy that our homes and our bodies are as clean and safe as we know how to make them. We diligently scrub, launder, deodorise and disinfect ourselves and our surroundings, in order to ensure our continued good health and well-being. Yes, we and our homes are clean, but are they safe? The shocking fact is that many of the products we use to ensure we are clean and protected are made from highly toxic chemicals known to cause, among other things, hormone disruption, mood swings, birth defects and even cancer. Cleaning Yourself to Death takes a thorough look at the range of everyday cleaning products in our cupboards; what they contain, how they are sold and how we overuse them. Full of practical, hard-hitting information, valuable tips on how to lessen our exposure to toxins, and on natural, effective alternatives, this book is a must for every home.
