Find a copy
Start with the book listing at Better World Books, or give the title, both authors and ISBN above to your local library or bookseller. Check the edition, format, delivery location and current availability with that provider. A catalogue entry does not guarantee stock or a local library holding.
Old articles may show a launch price or promise a future digital edition. Those statements describe the book's original launch, so we have not carried them forward as current offers. We also omit a page count because listings can differ by edition.
What it covers
The authors' launch description connects household materials and everyday choices with health and sustainability. It presents the book as a resource for people building, renovating or reconsidering how they live at home. This page identifies that resource; it is not a chapter summary, a reproduction of its checklists or a claim that Simply Maid has independently assessed every recommendation in it.
Read a 2014 publication with its date in mind. Before acting on product, building or health advice, check the current manufacturer information and relevant Australian guidance. Keep the book's authorship separate from any newer advice linked here.
Arriving from ventilation advice?
Some articles recommend the handbook while discussing airflow. If your immediate question is about maintaining the home you already live in, our indoor-air guide helps you separate dust removal, fresh-air ventilation, filtration and building maintenance. It links to the existing exhaust-fan and air-conditioner care guides.
You can also use the original Simply Maid Healthy Home checklist to record observations and choose a next step. It is a separate resource, not a worksheet taken from the book.
About the former Healthy Interiors website
Healthy Interiors previously offered the book alongside other resources and interior-design information associated with Melissa Wittig. These replacement pages are now published by Simply Maid. We do not operate the former shop, fulfil its past orders or offer its design consultations. For historical author context, see the Undercover Architect interview with Melissa Wittig.
Healthy Home Resources brings together the book reference, historical CSIRO citation and new practical resources. Healthy Home connects them to everyday cleaning and maintenance tasks.
