Massachusetts Business Woman Releases First-Ever Cook Book for Green Cleaning
With The Joy of Green Cleaning, Cleaning Can Be Fun (and Cost Effective)
UXBRIDGE, MA – October 27 -- Blackstone Valley author and presenter Leslie Reichert introduced her new book, The Joy of Green Cleaning, to an excited audience during the Good Taste, Pittsburgh Food and Wine Expo in Pittsburgh, PA.
Reichert, a Northbridge resident and owner of the retail store The Back Door in Uxbridge, demonstrated green cleaning products from her book using only things found in a kitchen pantry. During two demonstrations for conference attendees in the show’s “Green Section,” Reichert created three separate cleaning products and mixed soap flakes, Borax, and washing soda to recreate the laundry soap recipe her Pittsburgh based great-grandmother used to clean her family’s clothes over 100 years ago.
The Joy of Green Cleaning is the first cook book for green cleaning. Reichert created and tested simple yet proven recipes for cleaners who want to “go green” using low cost items such as lemon, salt, and baking soda. “I created this book because I saw, firsthand, what harsh chemicals found in most cleaners can do,” says Reichert. “My cleaning recipes are non-toxic and they use ingredients from your pantry—not from the cabinet under the sink. And they really do work.”
One recipe in the book calls for mixing mayonnaise and olive oil to use as a wood cleaner and polish. The Joy of Green Cleaning also provides information on where to locate hard-to-find products recommended in green cleaning recipes. “It can be very frustrating to try to find some of the products, so I created a list of where to buy them,” says Reichert.
