Customer Reviews

Which do you first? You Dust first

You dust first to pick up what you can, then you vacuum as dusting may have some particles hit the floor. This was an enjoyable and helpful read. I love that this book doesn't beat you up for your current cleaning style, or perhaps lack thereof. He does tell you how to remove the grime from the top of the refrigerator, to to remove caked on dirt from heating vents and so much more. I like that he lets you know you really only need 4 different types of cleaning products, and he tells you were to get them to have money. No exotic equipment is really needed, but rather a few good products will take care of all of your needs. This alone will save you a ton of money. I highly recommend picking up this book if you want to work in more thorough cleaning with less effort. This book will definately help you have a cleaner house, and save you time and money!

A friend first gave me this book and then I loaned it out and didn't get it back. This book contains so much very helpful practical information. I love it and use it often.

Upbeat and witty, with lots of illustrations

This is an upbeat and witty guide to cleaning various parts of the residential house, written by master de-clutterer, Don Aslett. Everybody who cleans house occasionally will find something useful here. It answers questions from "How do I clean my textured ceiling?" to "I love bleach, do you?" Very practical and informative, with a personal slant. Great book!
