Summary: Homemade Wallpaper Remover?
Review: As a new homeowner, I purchased this book to help me with the day to day chores of owning a home. We bought a 15 year old house that was in great condition - but that had 15 year old wallpaper in every room. I had stripped a few rooms before buying this guide. I was very dubious about the homemade solution of equal parts water and vinegar to strip wallpaper. Vinegar and water, to strip vinyl wallpaper off my bathroom walls? No way. IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM! Easy, virtually free and no mess! I've told all my friends who re-decorate to use this tip!

As far as the rest of the book, it gives very good, clear and concise information, directions and tips on everything from cleaning your house, to feeding your family. It's a wonderful guide for any new (or not so new) homeowner to have on hand!
