What the heck?

Since I started writing this blog and began using advertising, I get really annoyed with the automated ads that get thrust upon me from time to time.  I want you all to know that I am aware of the inconsistencies that show up from time to time, and am working on a better filter for the ad content.

Amazon is keyword driven, and at times the products that are featured with my articles are conflicting with my views.  For instance, the insecticide that was being featured under my article for NATURAL PEST DETERRANTS.  I saw that this morning and was both annoyed and amused.

There is a way to get adverts that are consistent with my content, I know there is!!!  I will prevail in this, I promise.  Until I get it managed… bear with me and ignore those ads that seem really out of place.

Book Review: Green Up Your Cleanup – Jill Schoff

Posted by Lilla under Book Reviews

Green Up Your Cleanup” by Jill Potvin Schoff

This book is full of great information, suggestions and recipes. Ms Schoff has done her research well. The book is logically organized, with plenty pictures and asides to keep your eyes interested.

I love the room by room approach she uses to organize the cleaning.

While Schoff has to take steps a great deal further than most people will, due to the allergies of her little boy, the suggestions and tips are extremely useful, insightful and easy to follow.

The recipes I’ve tried have worked wonderfully.  The general purpose cleaner kicked the ass of the built up grease on my gas range, a left over from the previous tenants.  (I hate renting).

Despite a few extremist observations, overall this book is well worth the purchase price. You will probably make up the price of the book in the first few months, because the supplies are extremely inexpensive in comparison to ready made cleaning supplies.
