Summary: Fun title, great ideas...
Review: Love this book and all the ideas. You will learn how to handle most challenges. What I must tell you about is a product called Oxi Clean. It rules in my house as a carpet cleaner. It really has taken out every stain, even the ones my carpet guy couldn't get out. I once used Windex (the green colored one) to clean up a stain and made the carpet worse. Oxi Clean got that stain out as well. I should have listened to the Queen of Clean and found the product she suggests. So, for all the other problems, use this book, but for carpets, do look into that product. I love it and had to tell you about it. I haven't used the product she recommends yet. I have to say, I love the title of this book. I also enjoyed her ideas for using vinegar, baking soda, and club soda. I use vinegar on my hardwood floors, just white vinegar and water. My grandmother also taught me a bit about using vinegar for washing down windows, etc. Baking soda is a must have for cleaning out pots and pans. I have spilled grape juice on the carpet and used club soda. Good tips and lots of fun cleaning advice. One of my friends swears by boiling water to get out berry stains. I think it is fun to collect wisdom from all your friends, but sometimes they are not around to ask a question when you need the answer fast. With this book, you always have a cleaning friend hanging out at your house. :)

Summary: IT IS POSSIBLE TO MOTIVATE CHILDREN TO HELP CLEAN
Review: Yes, it is possible to motivate even the laziest child (my own) to help with spring cleaning! We saw Linda Cobb on Oprah one day and then went out and bought her book. When we got home my 10 year old daughter wanted to purchase the cleaning supplies and get going. So, I struck while the iron was hot. For about ... I purchased all of the "staples" that Ms. Cobb recommended. Then my daughter went to work. She made a paste of baking soda, bleach and borax, wore rubber gloves and goggles and attacked the mold and mildew on the bathtub/shower tiles by gently brushing the paste on. We let it sit for one hour and rinsed it off with the shower. No scrubbing, no scraping the mold is gone! Next I made Linda's solution to clean screens, took the screens outside, applied it and hosed it off. Walla! You could see the dirt falling off almost by itself! This is the best, most affordable and efficient book on cleaning I have ever read. God Bless Linda Cobb!

Summary: Linda Cobb is help available for inveterate slobs like me
Review: If you read this book, you will find a way to tailor it to your own cleaning needs, good points and lacks. She has helped me turn the corner on my 44 year old bad habits by helping me attack the dirt her way. It is much easier to have a sense of control over your mess if you have knowledge of how to clean and what to clean. Thank you very much!

Summary: Thank You. Great Results with Simple Ideas
Review: I have to say, I am all for anything that will make housecleaning easier. This book did it for me. Linda Cobbs enthusiasm comes across in her writing.
Her ideas are very easy and usually only require simple household items that are already on hand (used drier sheets, tinfoil, etc.) I keep this book on my shelf as a refernce for those tough questions regarding cleaning a house (Crayon on the walls, rust stains in the sink and more). However, I have also taken some of her cleaning hints and used them in my spring cleaning and boy has it saved time. For example, she suggest you take a used drier sheet and wipe off the glass on your picture frames. I did this and it kept the dust away from my pictures. This also decreased my weekly dusting time. What a wonderful book. Certianly it's not nighttime reading. However if you take the time to page through this book and look at some of her ideas, I believe you will be able to find suggestions that will help you save time and money as well.

Summary: The Queen of Clean Rules!
Review: I love this book. I have a book from the first printing and I use it a lot. It has excellent ideas for cleaning just about everything and they use inexpensive items you probably already have around the house. I really like the one about using WD-40 to remove crayon marks. It works great on walls and toys. This is a great book to keep on hand for all those pesky little problems and stains you don't know what to do with

Summary: Absolute Genius!
Review: Linda Cobb is an absolute genius when it comes to cleaning, spot removal, helpful hints, etc. I haved tried several of her recommendations and have saved $$$ and a lot of valueable time! I must tell everyone about one specific helpful hint that has completely changed the way I clean: "ACT NATURAL" the chemical free cleaning concept! I ordered these fantastic products from "euronetusa.com" as soon as I read about them and could not believe the results. I never thought it was possible to clean without chemicals (you just use water with these products!) but was able to get rid of nearly all of them! No more dangerous fumes around my family. It saves me money, time and energy and helps our environment... Linda, you have really changed my life! Thank you...

Summary: tremendous help
Review: I tried a few tips given in the book. It worked like a charm. I am not sure if I will become a fanatic cleaner, but it does take a lot of guess work out of cleaning.

Summary: Good - and good FOR you
Review: Forget Martha. Forget Heloise. Forget the scary perfectionistic tomes on how to keep house. This is the book that has changed my life, cleaning-wise. If this book can't solve your worst cleaning problem, nothing will. I had tried an increasingly evil-sounding succession of expensive products to get the hard-water scum off my shower door. What finally worked? The vinegar-and-water solution in this book. I thought the grayish patches in my tub were there to stay until I followed the Queen of Clean's suggestion of... borax. I got months of burned-on food off my cooktop with the Queen's laughably simple scouring powder. Not only is my house cleaner than it ever has been, but I also threw out my toxic cleaning products, and I even feel better about myself: it turns out I wasn't a slob, I just wasn't using the right equipment to clean.

Summary: Common Sense
Review: This book is filled with common sense tips and things that your mother told you. This book is more for a college student or someone moving on his/her own for the first time.

Summary: My wife swears by this book!
Review: OK, I haven't read it myself, but I've heard enough from my wife to write a review (she keeps reading tips out loud to me)! She swears that this book has the answer to all life's problems (at least when it comes to cleaning). She sat down and read it cover to cover and keeps it handy as a "reference" book. It's filled with practical, simple "secrets" that really do work, like using vinegar and baking soda to unclog a drain. She says it's even better than Cobb's laundry book. The book will probably pay for itself after you try a few tips. Highly recommended!
