Summary: Not what I thought
Review: I was anxiously awaiting this book arrival when I ordered it and was somewhat dissapointed at the result. This book has a lot of useful information, but a lot of the info is not new and can be found in any old Home cleaning or organizing book. I was looking for unique, brand new, undiscovered solutions to commom cleaning dilemmas and was let down when I came across the same old stuff( some that work and some don't)!!

Summary: A must-read for anyone wanting a clean home
Review: This book does basically cover how to clean practically everything in your home. It's a very handy reference for cleaning, laundry, and outlines a year's worth of tasks that should be done at most people's homes (and often aren't).Linda Cobb's approach is down to earth, warm, friendly, and very practical. She takes a lot of the fuss out of cleaning, suggests effective alternatives to expensive, toxic cleaning products, and makes recommendations where a commercial product will suit the reader best. In addition to an encyclopedia of cleaning information, she also makes valuable suggestions as to how frequently items need to be cleaned, how to choose carpet cleaning contractors, and the like. I would suggest teaming this book with one of Don Aslett's books such as "Is There Life After Housework?" and you would have an unbeatable reference set for cleaning nearly anything around your home. That, and Linda Cobb's writing style is fun, funny and thoroughly entertaining. Good value and a good investment for your home and belongings.

Summary: A Little Fanatical
Review: This book has good household hints, and some good ways on how to get your clothes and house clean, but this woman is a little fanatical on how things should be clean. I mean, I like things clean just as much as any other person, but some of it is taking the "cleanliness is next to godliness" message a little too far, For example, in one chapter, she tells you how to clean your washing machine. It touches soap and water almost every day, for heaven's sake!

Summary: A must-read for anyone wanting a clean home
Review: This book is packed with very helpful and seldom found information. I have 30+ years of experience in taking care of a home and still found this book to be a wealth of knowledge. It would be a great wedding shower or new home gift for anyone. It is very easy to navigate and has very simple solutions for everyday problems.

Summary: Just what I expected
Review: This book was just what I expected. This is a must for anyone who has a house. It advises you on how to get out different stains on all sorts of materials. I even found it useful to get candle wax off of my wall. I am really looking forward to when I have time to actually use it and implement her cleaning ideas. Could help organize and clean a house much more efficiently!
