A professional toxicologist and health writer offers an enlightening and accessible room-by-room guide to identifying and removing potentially toxic items, along with suggestions for safe, affordable alternatives.
From the bedroom mattress and pillows to daily cleaning products for the kitchen and bath, toothbrushes, and even furniture and clothing, toxins are embedded in many products and items used regularly in the home—and they are making us sick. Home Detox is a practical, accessible guide to understanding the problem and how we can address it in our own homes in a manageable and affordable way. Daniella Chace, a professional toxicologist and health writer, teaches readers how to identify potential toxins, with an easy-to-follow, room-by-room evaluation of the "Toxic Ten" in each space. She explains the connection between toxins in everyday objects and chronic health issues such as headaches, asthma, high cholesterol, skin problems, and sleep problems and offers strategies for eliminating toxins, along with easy recipes for effective homemade cleaning solutions using essential oils, baking soda, vinegar, and other ingredients that are natural, affordable, and effective.

      Starred review from November 1, 2022

      Modern homes, or the items in them, are often the source of a wide variety of health issues, which makes this book an essential one to have in the home of every concerned householder. Clinical nutritionist Chace (365 Skinny Smoothies), who also hosts NPR's "Nutrition Matters" segment, has written a thoroughly researched and practical guide to identifying and eliminating common household toxins. Written in approachable language and illustrated in detail, chapters are organized by rooms, which facilitate quick lookups. The book also includes a dizzying array of resources: lists of common toxins, a glossary of common abbreviations found in packaging, recipes for nontoxic cleaning solutions, recommendations for nontoxic cleaning tools and methods, case studies, and a wealth of additional resources at the end. VERDICT Committed environmentalists interested in upping their game and being better citizens of planet Earth will find this guide useful. Highly recommended for all libraries.--Marjorie Mann
