Detailed How-to book

This book is a detailed how-to book with household chores broken down into daily, weekly, and annually done duties. There are reasons why things must be done, tips on how to make them easier (ie- getting crayon off a hallway wall), and a little humor here and there. For the clueless or novice housekeeper this is a great reference book!

Wonderful guide that finally inspired me!

When I check out this book at the local library I thought, "Gee, why am I doing this...." because I don't like how-to books. However, this book turned out to be a great teacher to me and now I'm ordering it to own.The author shows many options in cleaning depending how far you want to go, so I can clean my house anytime... even when I have only 10 minutes before my guests come. You may not need this book if you consider yourself a good housekeeper, but this book will help so many people like me, who don't prefer filthy house but at the same time don't know how to clean and organize it fast, easily, and effectively. Thank you, Patti! Your writing is so funny I enjoyed this guidebook as a book to read, too.
