Reviews
Offers us science at its most elementary, with easy-to-understand explanations of, for instance, surfactants and what they do. . . . unpacks common myths, such as whether to add water to dishwashing detergent, how often to launder clothes, and what baking soda and vinegar do together (nothing useful). Charts show the difference between, say, hard and soft soap, and introduce new words. . . in short, a great reference for anyone stumped by reluctant-to-leave dirt--and far cheaper than hiring a professional., A fascinating in-depth read that . . . pairs well with Bonnie Garmus's popular novel Lessons in Chemistry.

Synopsis
The definitive, science-backed guide to cleaning everything in your home in a safe, sustainable, evidence-based way "A great reference for anyone stumped by reluctant-to-leave dirt--and far cheaper than hiring a professional."--Booklist, Countless cleaning hacks for every kind of household dirt may vie for our attention, but how do we know which ones really work and which ones will only leave you with a sticky mess that doesn't actually do the job? Scientific evidence comes to the rescue, as chemistry professor Dario Bressanini teaches you everything worth knowing about cleaning agents and processes (and dispels plenty of myths, too). He answers all of our most pressing housekeeping questions: Is it more efficient to wash dishes in the sink or in the dishwasher? Does bleach remove dirt? Which cleaning supplies should I buy, and which can I make at home? Can vinegar and baking soda actually unclog your drain? How can I most effectively tackle different types of stains? What can get rid of that stuff on my showerhead? Bressanini covers subjects like these by digging into chemistry basics such as solubility, pH, and concentration, bringing them out of the classroom and into the real-world chores that we deal with every day. Laundry, dishes, sinks, bathtubs, counters, floors, and more--no matter what you're cleaning, this book explains how to choose the right tools for the task, save yourself unnecessary effort, and stay eco-friendly by avoiding waste. The Science of Cleaning reminds us that science can be both useful and exciting. With Bressanini's help, you can keep your home, your belongings, and yourself clean--with the confidence that only centuries of advancements in chemistry can provide., Countless cleaning hacks for every kind of household dirt may vie for our attention, but how do we know which ones really work and which ones will only leave you with a sticky mess that doesn't actually do the job?

Seller feedback (1,076,825)
- n***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy statue was exactly as described, it was un-opened and in perfect condition! Totally wirth the price. Getting it shipped took a little long but the seller was very responsive when I messaged and sent me the tracking as soon as it was available. Plus they did a good job packaging it well enough that despite being banged up on the outside my item was completely undamaged.
- r***b (117)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGraphic novel album was sealed, NM, great value. Seller was great and responsive to communication. Item initially did not arrive despite tracking and me calling USPS, and seller was willing to provide refund to make it right. Ultimately the package showed up days later, which was baffling; seller provided A+ customer service through all of this. Thank You!
- 2***0 (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe basket is perfectly what I ordered and as listed. It came in the factory packaging and was perfect upon delivery. Thank you postal service lol. The delivery took way longer than listed though, it was listed to come in a week from purchase, but took a whole month. I had some concerns at first, but communication with the company was top notch and they were very professional and answered most of my questions satisfyingly. Just prepare for a longer wait than listed, but I got what I bought lol.
