Cleaning-Products Books

THis is a great book if you are involved with chemistry...Helps you a lot to learn in chemicals...One of the best

I bought this book with the intention of getting detailed information and analyses of cleaning products raw materials and formulations. I was very disappointed. The book is a collection of company formulations that one can pull from the internet.

The disheartening aspect of the book is that most of the formulations are riddled with company blends. This makes formularies useless once you go outside the stipulated blends. My advice is, becareful before you buy. You can pull most of the info on the internet. I will suggest you buy "How to Formulate & Compound Industrial Detergents" by David Urban. Its far better that Advanced Cleaning Product Formulations.

I have had a copy of this book around since the 1970's. It is hard to find all the ingredients that are present in our everyday household substances, but if you are willing to do a little scrounging, you can make most of the items you use in everday life and save quite a bit of money. Read the ingredient list of most of the liquids you use at home and you will find that water (or alcohol) is almost always the first or second ingredient. Make your own shampoo and hand lotion and you can save money and feel empowered! A fun book to read and reminds you of the days when our grandparents were self sufficient and made their own soap, ointments, liniments, and minor medical supplies.
