There were highs and lows with this project. I was discouraged by the books that I ultimately brought home, while useful they were more from a motivational standpoint and I was more interested in finding out what natural natural cleaners could be made at home. In the coming weeks I may stop by the Main Library to see what books are in the collection there (I don't want to waste my precious 5 holds to have items brought to my branch). Secondly there were a lot of website to sort through and so many different word combinations to search. I came to trust blogs more than standard websites, this was mostly due to the fact that the blogs oftentimes had hundreds of comments with users giving their own experience with the recipe or suggesting their own.
A different approach would be to do a full comparison of the different recipes and determine which ones clean best, in a visual way since I obviously can't conduct science tests on my surfaces. This technique would result in a very confident list of recipes.
I feel as though children and young adults might not collect a wide variety of cleaning recipes, thinking to only get the most basic. My search was very Internet heavy which is the main information gathering process for kids, at least the ones that I have encountered.
