Cleaning bible

Since I bought it I have always used it. A must have for the household!

Excellent guide for cleaning

The answers are there for cleaning just about everything, and the cleaning solutions often involve inexpensive products to save money in the process. A very handy guide. Best of all, there is no hype and the truth is presented regarding what it really does take to do the job well.

Kitty Tales - a story of bad hyperlinks

Dont be confused to see people rave about the list of housecleaning methods contained in these night time stories about kitties. Someone has goofed on the hyperlinks attached to the book. Hopefully they'll discover it one day and fix it. For now we'll just have to wait to see what other readers really think of the book

Great Reference!

This is an alphabetical listing of how to clean just about EVERYTHING! It is a handy reference tool, to help clean those items we don't think about very often, as well as better ways to do daily cleaning. He includes detail listings of items such as fabrics - listing the most common, their characteristics and how best to clean them. His entry on "Spot Removal" goes on for 2+ pages, teaching how to identify the type of spot, as well as the best treatments. Under "Fall Cleaning" he lists 10 items to thoroughly clean on a yearly basis. He even has a listing of things to consider when hiring cleaning help. I bought this book in conjunction with "How to Get Organized When You Don't Have the Time" by Stephanie Culp. They complement each other well, as this book teaches how to clean while Ms. Culp's book teaches time management and prioritizing.
