5.0 out of 5 stars Miss Laurie has time and money saving tips, October 3, 2003

By A Customer

I'm always skeptical of "how to" videos, but particularly of ones on topics as mundane as house cleaning. Also, I was a little insulted when a friend gave it to me because I always thought I was good at cleaning (even though I've paid other people to do it for years). To my surprise, I learned a lot! I love the tips on making my own cleaning solutions. I'm saving money and have reduced the use of chemicals in my home. In this economy, I need to save $$ anywhere I can, so I fired my cleaning person and now clean my own home better and more efficiently than it was ever done in the past. I highly recommend this video. It's short and to the point, and Miss Laurie is a riot!

5.0 out of 5 stars If my mother had only told me..., January 29, 2004

By	essayla (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Upon watching Miss Laurie's video on house cleaning, I not only became a more efficient housekeeper, it helped me to organize my time and tools to work more quickly. I also turned it over to my bi-monthly cleaning woman and saved myself alot of explanations. I particularly liked the little tidbits of info on how to clean cutting boards, shower stalls and laundry. I highly recommend it as a gift idea as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must for kids out on their own for the first time, September 30, 2003

By	J. Reid (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Dear Miss Laurie, I can't thank you enough! Your cleaning video is fantastic. Along with teaching a child how to manage their money, this is a must for kids out on their own for the first time. I don't usually give testimonials but this time I had to say something.

I have always been something of a perfectionist when it comes to a clean and orderly home - unfortunately I did not instill the same values in my son - I cleaned up after him. Well, in early August we moved him into his first apartment. When we visited over Labor Day, I was horrified at the condition of his home - I told him that if he wanted to be messy that was his choice - but unsanitary, no way. Rather than do the work for him, I looked for a guide to help him. I was so glad to find your video, because I knew he would never read a book. This past weekend we visited again and this time, though I couldn't believe my eyes, it was a joy to see his apartment. It was clean and neat! Your tips for working smart meant that he didn't have to put long hours into cleaning - so he keeps it up. He was actually proud of his home and his efforts. Thank you Miss Laurie! I am sharing this with all my friends who have children.
