Summary: An essential resource for stain removal & basic laundry info
Review: A very easy to read and follow book about removing every kind of stain that I've encountered. Organized by chapter for those who want to read it cover to cover. Great index for those who just want to look up their stain problem and find the solution quickly without reading the book cover to cover. Many of the stains can be removed with simple projects we have around the house. Other times specific chemical solutions are recommended. Often times she suggests both a specific chemical and an alternative with something you probably have at home already which is handy. General instructions such as dabbing at a stain, not rubbing at it, and why, are explained and are easy to remember (and work)! A great chapter on general use and care of the washing machine and another on the same subject with your clothes dryer. Why didn't anyone teach me this information? Why doesn't this information come with the appliances when we buy them? I don't know the answers but this book is the solution. Tips such as how to clean the fabric softener dispenser and how, and when to clean your dryer's lint collector, and a solution for when you discover wrinkled clothes in the dryer. General care instructions for all kinds of fabrics and items such as drapes and lampshades. A great resource for an inexpensive price. How about both of her books as a bridal shower gift or for the new parents?

Summary: THE QUEEN OF CLEAN IS TOPS AT TALK
Review: By now many of us are familiar with the "Queen of Clean," the duchess of the dustmop, the princess of pressing problems - she's frank, funny, down to earth Linda Cobb, author of "Talking Dirty with the Queen of Clean." Who can forget Tang in your toilet? This foe of all that dulls the sparkle of our homes is evidently also a bundle of inexhaustible energy as she is a regular on morning television, and publishes a bi-monthly newsletter. Now, she's come to cure our Monday blues - laundry! If your T-shirts shrink, your socks are unpaired, your drip dries don't, the iron spews instead of steaming, give a listen to "Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean." In addition, she has more remedies for spot removal than linen has wrinkles. These cures for grape juice on gingham or jelly on jumpers are all inexpensive, effective, and surprising!

Summary: This is great! How to explain separating laundry and more
Review: Ever try to explain to a teenager or a guy WHY the yellow bathmat and the jeans don't go in the same wash? Well, don 't bother. Just hand them this book. And read it yourself if you screw up and leave a lipstick in your pocket, a pen or face some unruly stains.

Summary: A Recommendation for Kelly Kline from Coplay, PA
Review: Hi Kelly: You wrote that this book didn't have a solution for GRASS STAINS, so I thought of you when I saw Linda Cobb's other book called "A Queen for All Seasons: A Year of Tips, Tricks, and Picks for a Cleaner House and a More Organized Life!" In this book it states the following: (Just ONE of the things in this book.) Spring: Garden the natural way...allergy-proof your home...banish GRASS STAINS...color your Easter eggs.... SO....I thought you might like to get this book to help with some of those grass stains we all know kids are very good at getting ground into clothes. You didn't have your email address so I could write you......so I hope you see this recommendation.

Summary: The one I was looking for
Review: I bought and liked "Talking Dirty", but was disappointed that much of what I was looking for was not in it. Ah, here came the "laundry" book and I was more than impressed. I salvaged two garments, both of which were pretty new but BADLY stained. I now have two beautiful "new" tops...(one a beige sweater, one a white sweatshirt)...Love the book, wish I would have had the advice througout the last 35 years of marriage and babies, etc...can't wait to tackle the future grandkids' stuff now!

Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: I found so much useful information in this book! I really enjoy it and use it often. I appreciate the fact that most of her cleaning solutions are non-toxic as I have a 2 year old at home. I found that baking soda WILL unclog a drain (combined with a few other things) :) In fact baking soda by itself will clean quite a bit of your home.

Review: I have done a million loads of laundry, and I learned a lot from this book, including ways to wash for my really allergic family, and use more natural products. A really easy read, and great advise.
