She also provides strategies for eliminating toxins, along with recipes for homemade cleaning solutions. This book is easy to read and provides valuable information that can help you create a healthier home environment for yourself and your family.

Such a great book, if a little scary reading all about the toxins in our home. The only horror book I will read!

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

This was a good book, but there really wasn’t any new information. All of the information was organized well, and easy to ready. I really liked the flow of the chapters.

Lots of good tips and info contained in this book, but a lot of it is redundant. The author tends to repeat the information throughout the book. This book would be most beneficial for newbies to the subject

Some shocking information in here about the toxins that live in every day items around your house with some straight forward ways to help lessen or remove them. Small changes can make a huge difference to your home and your family’s health.

If you're interested in non-toxic living, I highly recommend this incredibly through (yet not overwhelming) guide. The author goes room by room identifying toxins to look out for and how to choose better products. Gorgeous photos, simple action items and DIY recipes.

This book is a really handy guide to turn to and understand your home environment and how you can make easy little swaps to reduce your exposure to toxins. The format is brilliant and there are some ace recipes for all sorts of household products too! I really like how it dives into each room and gives really solid practical advice. It is a thought provoking read and well researched and well presented information. Highly recommend!

Fascinating and helpful guide to how to detox your home! It was terrifying to learn how many chemicals are in everyday cleaners and products. I love how the book went room by room breaking down where toxins can be and how to detox the space and alternatives to use. I learned so much and I’ll definitely be not only sharing this book with friends and family when it comes out, but using these alternatives in my everyday life.

As a consumer interested in my own methods of learning sustainability and wanting a less harmful environment for my children's generation and generations beyond, Home Detox by Daniella Chase came into my life at a good time. Two years of being home full-time means that I need to be in awareness and better control of my environment, whereas it was much harder when being in an office building for large portions of the day.

Much of what is in this book I have read, heard, and kept as vague memories as nothing was tangible in front of me as to how to do what I needed to do for my home and yard. Daniella brought all of this knowledge into one book and even the recipes seem simple, which I know my turn of the previous century grandmother knew but turned to the ease of pre-made,

Pre-made means you don't have to think, just buy what is on a shelf, and that eliminates the overwhelm. The cost of the overwhelm elimination is a much different cost in our environment's case. If we have learned nothing else the past two years, seeing what happens when humans are minimally in the environment as the world went into lockdown mode, then we missed the point that our environment interactions are slowly deteriorating our health and our lives, while causing other living creatures and plants to be the warning signs if we are listening and paying attention.

As I reviewed the ARC, I knew at the end that I would purchase this particular resource when it is released into a bookstore near me.

Gives small ways yo switch or consider when making changes for a cleaner or low waste home. Easy to follow/read. Does have some pretty good information.

Loved this book! This explained the toxins present in a home in an easy to understand way. The chapters are broken down into rooms ( kitchen, living room, bathroom, etc) of the house. It then takes you step by step with ways to detox your home. It also has natural recipes for everyday cleaning supplies. Very informative and helpful book. Thank you net galley for an advance copy of this book

This book is beautiful, but terrifying. This would be a perfect gift for someone about to start a household. I learned a lot. It is well written, seems well researched, and I learned a lot of things I have been doing were not good for the air quality or ground outside my home, which I had never even thought of. Definitely a must read before stocking your home with items which seem benign, but in the cumulative might not be great for you, your family, and your pets.

This is a beautiful looking book, with a clean layout and pure looking photos. It echoes the ‘clean’ message of the book and is a joy to read aesthetically.

The book itself contains advice and instruction for getting rid of toxins in each room of your house so you can follow along and feel really clean and healthy afterwards. There are case studies in each chapter telling us of real life cases who have been helped by detoxing their home and were very interesting reading. There were several nuggets of information that really got me thinking and I have already made a few changes in my life after reading this book.

However, this book is quite idealistic and I fear that you may go slightly mad after reading it, fearing all of the toxins that are waiting for you around the corner! It is hard to escape all of the toxins we encounter in every day life and whereas changing plastic chopping boards for bamboo is a pretty easy and inexpensive swap, buying a latex mattress because of all of the toxins in memory foam comes into a whole different cost bracket! I would say read the book and take from it what you can, but unless you are suffering an illness resulting from exposure to toxins, don’t stress about getting it all perfect. After all, millions of people are exposed to these toxins without knowing a thing about it and the majority are fine.

As a reader from the UK, I also noticed that the book was written from an American perspective so some of the items she suggests purchasing are not available here, but there are some fabulous blogs that I found after a quick search that give plenty of useful information.

With thanks to Netgalley and Storey Publishing for providing an advance review copy. All opinions are my own.

This is a comprehensive, well-researched guide to detoxifying the home. An overview is given of the potential toxins in our environment and the havoc they can wreak. Then the author goes room by room detailing a plan for cleansing your home.

I found the graphic of the top ten toxic offenders in each space particularly helpful. The DIY cleaning recipes were simple and effective. There were suggestions for what to replace items with, and it could be helpful to have an appendix indicating where to source these nontoxic items.

I experienced all the emojis while reading this book. 🤯 because despite my decade of detoxing my home, there is still so much to consider. 🤔 because who can remember all of the chemical terms without a doctorate on the subject. 🤬 because how is all this junk allowed in our products in the first place?! And 😴 because it’s tiring just thinking about all the toxins that surround us.

Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review!

I both loved and loathed this.
I’m completely paranoid about my house now.
I did enjoy the recipes and I wish they had been repeated in a separate chapter, along with others we could use to make our own products.
Unfortunately the reality is, to live an eco friendly, low toxin, zero waste life, one must have money to get started.
I love a book that showed how to do all this positive stuff on a shoestring budget.

Thank you NetGalley for the copy to review..

Very informative. I consider myself a “clean home” person and I ended up learning about other areas I hadn’t considered and am now taking action on. I think everyone should read this book to better themselves and their home environment.

Wow this was eye opening for me. I thought my house was pretty "clean" but after reading this I realize that I am only about 25% there in terms of eliminating toxins (memory foam mattress and plastic kitchen utensils I am looking at you!).

Lots of great tips on cleaning with natural products as well as practical swaps for replacing the toxic items in your home. There is some repetition in each chapter as she goes through each room with a detailed cleaning list (pretty much the same in all rooms) but I believe this was intended as people will pick one chapter and apply it rather than reading the whole book.

The section on clothing kind of lost me. I get that synthetic fabrics are bad but I am not wearing hemp or organic cotton to work out. This book has motivated me to replace a lot of things in my house with non toxic versions.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Home Detox is exactly the book I have been looking for. It provides practical advice without scaremongering, and introduces great ideas which can be implemented immediately. I've seen some of the information provided in the book in magazine and newspaper articles, but it's great to have such a comprehensive guide, with everything in one place.

Thankyou to NetGalley and the Publishers for the e-ARC of this book.

Home Detox is an eye opening guide to the toxins around our homes and how we can minimize them. From our food storage to bathroom cleaners, there are so many different chemicals that we surround ourselves with, which have the potential to greatly affect our health.

I really appreciated the room by room approach of this book and also the step by step recipes for creating non toxic alternatives to all of the problematic cleaning agents we normally use. I am very excited to try out the different recipes and cleaning products and start my own home detox journey.

Home Detox is a must read. You never understand how your living space can help you see your day, week and month clearer until you read this book. Daniella Chace gives you the steps and skills you need to make your house and home the best place for you to live and in some ways reach your goals on a daily basis. I feel so much more free after using some of the steps in this book.
