Cleaning House

“Through fast paced storytelling, Cleaning House shows us how activism and grassroots power is the only thing strong enough to take the chemical industry head on. Cleaning House is the story of everyday activists, social justice leaders, angry moms, and Dahl’s journey from skeptic to the front lines of the environmental health movement. This book should remind us–what and who we are fighting for–and to not back down when the going gets tough.” – Erin Brockovich, environmental activist & author of Superman’s Not Coming

“Cleaning House is essential reading for everyone who wants to ensure the products they bring into their home are safe for their family and the environment. The unfortunate reality is many cleaning and personal care products still contain dangerous chemicals. This book is a brilliant guide on how to stay safe when there’s no one else to protect you.” – Jeffrey Hollender, Co-Founder & former CEO, Seventh Generation

“With a perfect blend of credible science, advocacy, and personal storytelling, Cleaning House exposes the systemic failures that allow harmful chemicals into our bodies, impacting our fertility. Dahl’s work is both eye-opening and empowering, providing the knowledge and tools we need to demand safer products and policies for future generations.” – Dr. Lora Shahine, author, reproductive endocrinologist & fellow with the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology

“Cleaning House is a cautionary tale about how misinformation and partisan politics can threaten our environment and public health. Dahl shows how powerful we can be when we work together to ensure key consumer safety protections are not rolled back. A must-read for our generation and poignant reminder that bipartisan progress is still possible.” – Manish Bapna, President and CEO of NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)

“In a world where our environment is more important than ever, Dahl helps us take agency in the place closest to us–our homes. Cleaning House sheds light on the burden we have placed on busy parents’ shoulders, unfairly asking them to navigate a complicated marketplace. Dahl brings us hope and provides an actionable roadmap as a path forward.” – Eve Rodsky, NYT bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space
