Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Did you know you can polish brass with ketchup? This new book is chock full of similar information on using ordinary, and some exotic, supplies to help you with everyday household tasks and activities. Written in a cookbook format, it offers do-it-yourselfers hints to save money and/or trips to the store. Each chapter has a brief introduction followed by formulas or recipes to take care of gardens, pots, houses, cars, etc. An appendix lists supply sources. With its earlier book, Natural Formula Book for Home and Yard ( LJ 10/1/82), Rodale enables readers to use safe ingredients to do more jobs. Highly recommended for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to for everything under the sun!, March 16, 2002

By	Laura Brown McKenzie (On a mountain in AL United States) - See all my reviews

After checking this book out of the library numerous times and trying to take notes on all the formulas that I knew I could use, I realized that either I would have to hand copy the book or go buy one at Amazon. I chose the latter and since buying it a few months ago, I've returned to the formulas again and again. Using this book you WILL: save money, save natural resources, find ready answers, and find practical information to help you in the home or garden. Using this book you'll be able to make plant fertilizer (that really works!), household cleaning solutions, soaps, herbal remedies, and much more. Even my pets have benefitted from this book. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Martha Stewart Wannabes... This is for You!, July 24, 2000

By	"shezageekess" (Orange County, California USA) - See all my reviews

I love learning new tricks for keeping house, and this book is *full* of tips! I have returned to this book time after time to learn how to treat a fever, make traps for the dreaded whiteflies, make a no-salt spice mix for chicken, and clean darned near anything. This is an indispensable reference for any homemaker on a budget.

3.0 out of 5 stars Saved me money, August 5, 2009

By	edna b. me - See all my reviews

Good product, has handy "recipes" for bug sprays and whatnot. Beats paying for over-the-counter chemicals.
