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: 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.

Summary: Helpful
Review: I saw this book on Oprah. If she recommends it, it must be good, right? Wrong. The book doesn't deliver what it promises. Common stains are not always included. I assume that Oprah recommended it because (of course) she doesn't do her own laundry and would have no way of judging the quality of this kind of book for those of us who do not have hired help.

Summary: Finally - laundry made fun!
Review: OK, I admit it. Laundry isn't exactly my favorite subject and I certainly had no intention of buying a book about laundry. But after enjoying the sense of humor and solid down-to-earth advice from the Queen of Clean's first book, "Talking Dirty with the Queen of Clean," I went for it. And I'm glad I did. Once again, the Queen provides great ideas for formerly impossible stains and new techniques for old products. Every home should have the complete Queen of Clean library. Write on, Queen!

Summary: Washed up in Las Vegas
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 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 when it comes to cleaning laundry (like using lemon juice and sunshine to whiten whites), much as her other book about general cleaning does. The book will probably pay for itself after you try a few tips. Highly recommended!

Summary: SO SQUEAKY CLEAN, YOU'LL LOVE IT!
Review: This book should be one of the first books you ever buy your son or daughter when they leave the nest. Perhaps, when they come home to visit, the underwear will not be hot pink, the pant legs (if they are pressed at all) will not have three separate creases down the front, the pantyhose will not be a glob of twisted pretzels, and the pricey angora sweaters will not look as if someone just shot the poor rabbit! No matter how old you live to be, you still live and learn, and no matter how great a homemaker you truly are, you are bound to discover something here that you never knew before. Buy the book, it makes a terrific reference guide and is filled with interesting facts and tips. Aside from the book, I wonder if Linda Cobb does house calls. I have this incredible mountain of laundry piling up....
