From Amazon.com:
You might be surprised to discover that this very useful, comprehensive book on cleaning is also a lively and entertaining read, filled with anecdotes and amusing stories from real people. Before launching into basic cleaning techniques, the author tackles the health effects of cleaning, decluttering one's home, techniques for cleaning room to room, and tips on how to get the best results from dry cleaners and steam cleaners. Also included is a section on the facts one needs to know about more than 60 cleaning tools and chemicals, how they work, how to buy them, and what safety precautions to take. This book will be an indispensable asset to anyone interested in cleaning the home safely, thoroughly, and with an eye toward not poisoning yourself or the environment while doing it. Keep this one handy, as you will be referring back to it and paging through it for years to come. --Mark A. Hetts

Very Informative!:
Everything you need to know about cleaning just about everything in your home. I could not believe the amout of information packed in this book. Love the book but I still hate cleaning.

This should have been called THE CLEANING BIBLE:
Move over, fairy godmother. The magic wand for that dreaded task--housekeeping--has arrived. I love this book! You have to buy it! It's the best gift for a friend getting a new apartment or house, or someone who's getting married. I even bought it for my mother and my grandmother, they wish there was a book like this years ago. Who knew the best way to clean your toilet was to put some cola soda in it, or the best way to improve your bowling game is to wash your bowling ball in the dishwasher. My favorite tip is to keep your diamonds sparkling, you should soak them in vodka. It really works! This is so cool, because the book also gives you quickie tips incase you are having company over. This is my favorite book of the century! You'll save yourself a ton of money on expensive cleaning products too.

Here's why this one STANDS APART from similar books::
The author did her research and asked experts how to clean items she wasn't familiar with. As an example, she goes straight to the team leader of specifications for Bowling Balls to find out how to clean a bowling balls and finds out what substances could actually hurt them. Covers both the basics (upholstery, stuffed animals, vases, wallpaper) and the more unique items (whirlpools, taxidermy items, motorcycles). I'd be surprised if the reader didn't find new information in this one!

Great Resource:
This really isn't the type of book you sit down and read. It is the type of book you keep around for reference. Having said that though, I did sit down and page through this book and go many ideas regarding how to clean things that i thought I was doing a find job cleaning. What I learned, however, is that there might be a better way, a safer way, a less damaging way to clean something. The author went right to the source of experts for cleaning directions. Want to clean a golf ball, crayons off a wall, hard water spots in a shower? Here is the way. Want to take care of cooking odors, clean a tuba, make a broom last longer? Here is the way. Excellent resource. Enjoy.

A helpful book:
If you have just started your own home and you feel that you are standing at the bottom of a mountain not knowing where to start cleaning from, then you should get this book. I wish I had this book when I first moved to my own house. It would save me time and also I wouldn't be so much stressed everytime I needed to clean (that's excausting myself twice a week). The book begins with instructions as to how to organize your cleaning schedule, what should your priority be, and what should be the last thing to do. And clean it like a pro, fast & right! Also, how to get rid of your clutter once and for all. It gives you advise as to what kind of detergents you should use,which cleaners are hazardous, which ones you should avoid and why. What I liked here, is How to hunt microbes (!) In part two, it has an A-Z reference with everything you can find in a house, and how to clean it, so when you have a problem with a particular item, you don't just scroll up and down to find it, the A-Z makes it so easy. Part three, again it's an A-Z rundown of everything you will need to know about. In this part, it gives further and more detailed information about cleaners as well as tools for cleaning.
