Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

When it comes to turning the average home into an immaculate castle, the self-avowed "Queen of Clean" reigns. In her latest, Cobb neatly combines three of her previous bestselling books into one comprehensive manual. For anyone who despises clutter, grime or grease, this all-in-one ceiling to floor, dust-busting, stain-licking, dish-scouring volume is a must-have. Cobb's no-nonsense "tips and hints" methods make light of any chore: "I've seen it all: from carpet stains to laundry pains, from messy shoes to washday blues," she boasts. Cobb whisks readers through chapters on seasonal scouring schedules, laundry and outdoor chores; she even offers a potpourri chapter dealing with everything from mildew to air ducts. For fast finds and specific problems, she indexes her subjects from A to Z (A and D Ointment to ZUD Heavy Duty Cleanser). But Cobb's crowning glory is her sparkling humor and down-home enthusiasm, which will cajole even the most resistant housecleaner to get the job done.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cleaning Made Simple!, March 12, 2003
    By A Customer
    Wow - Straightforward info from spot cleaning laundry to cleaning your house with basic (and less expensive) ingredients you have around the house. No more expensive cleaners! Plus a guide on how to clean everything and how often - and even advice on cleaning things you probably never thought of cleaning or wondered how to clean properly (like rust spots on your concrete driveway). For a mom with a toddler, this was a big help. Also look for Linda Cobb on the DIY channel.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought, September 26, 2004
    I was anxiously awaiting this book arrival when I ordered it and was somewhat dissapointed at the result. This book has a lot of useful information, but a lot of the info is not new and can be found in any old Home cleaning or organizing book. I was looking for unique, brand new, undiscovered solutions to commom cleaning dilemmas and was let down when I came across the same old stuff( some that work and some don't)!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very valuable reference guide., May 6, 2004
    By G. M. MCNAIR (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This book does basically cover how to clean practically everything in your home. It's a very handy reference for cleaning, laundry, and outlines a year's worth of tasks that should be done at most people's homes (and often aren't).

    Linda Cobb's approach is down to earth, warm, friendly, and very practical. She takes a lot of the fuss out of cleaning, suggests effective alternatives to expensive, toxic cleaning products, and makes recommendations where a commercial product will suit the reader best.

    In addition to an encyclopedia of cleaning information, she also makes valuable suggestions as to how frequently items need to be cleaned, how to choose carpet cleaning contractors, and the like. I would suggest teaming this book with one of Don Aslett's books such as "Is There Life After Housework?" and you would have an unbeatable reference set for cleaning nearly anything around your home.

    That, and Linda Cobb's writing style is fun, funny and thoroughly entertaining. Good value and a good investment for your home and belongings.
