I bought this book for my young bachelor son; but after going through it, I am going to keep it and buy him another one. It is up to date on cleaning products, and tells you about so many things that most other books of this type don't tell you; such as, diagrams on how to iron, how to sew. It tells you when fruits and vegetables are in season and how to tell when they are ripe. I think it is the most complete book of it's kind that I have ever seen. It would be excellent for newly weds, bachelor sons or daughters just getting their 1st apartment. And it is great for someone that has been housekeeping for over 30 years...like me!! Buy it, you won't regret it!

This book is chock full of valuable information,would make a wonderful gift for a newlywed couple or do-it-yourself couple.

I wish I would have had this book when I first became 100% responsible for my dwelling! This book is practical and tells you how to clean, how to take care of and manage a household. Every teenager heading off to college, or newly married couple should receive this book as a gift into real adulthood!

If you aren't married to a Mr or Ms Fix It, Clean It, etc., etc., then you need to get this book. It will save you lots of time and money many times over. It would also make a great housewarming gift for any new homeowner (or even a renter).

There are two young women in the family, 21 and 26, both strong minded, independent and unattached. I can't be there for them all the time, and they probably wouldn't ask for help anyway. But this book is the true soup to nuts of living on your own. Common sense and extremely helpful, with good explanations. This should be a required gift for anyone going out on their own.

This was a gift for "new" couple in their first home. They loved it... probably would be good idea for me too.

I really love this book! I am just passed being a newlywed and just got this book because I am always calling my mom with questions about the best way to clean different things. Well, now I don't have to anymore! This book tells you how to clean everything and it's great! Someone else said that the presentation of material in this book was boring...well, it is a reference text! I would definitely recommend this book.

Book is very informative and detail. Lots of pictures for those like myself who need it. Book covers everything that you can think of and is easy to follow.

This book isn't very exciting. I was hoping it would encourage me to get going on the management/maintenance of my house. Instead, it was a snooze. Not really giving anything exciting as far as info and presenting it in a boring way. Might be useful if you have never ran a load of laundry, etc.
