Amazon.com Review
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

This should have been called THE CLEANING BIBLE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clean It Fast, Clean It Right : The Ultimate Guide to Making Absolutely Everything You Own Sparkle and Shine (Hardcover)
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.

This review is from: Clean It Fast, Clean It Right : The Ultimate Guide to Making Absolutely Everything You Own Sparkle and Shine (Hardcover)
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!
