Is there ever a week when cleaning isn't atop your loath to-do list? Within hours of disinfecting the kitchen work surfaces they're inevitably covered with sticky marks and scattered crumbs, and it seems to take mere minutes for the dust to settle once again on that sideboard. The dirty work, truly, is never done.Still, there's no sensation quite like having a spotless home. After the bath has been scrubbed, you, too, feel like a sparkling version of yourself - calmer, healthier, cobweb-free. Because you'll always strive for that clean slate - even at the expense of fun and relaxation - you persevere through the stain busting, the sanitizing, and the polishing.This book includes: the essential cleaning kit: tools and products to have on hand for tackling jobs big and small; easy step-by-step techniques for even the toughest of chores; trouble-shooting tips for stubborn stains, marks, and dirt; specialized advice for your furnishings, including granite sinks and window coverings, plus ceilings and hardwood floors; and speed-cleaning recipes for every room of the house.Author: Editors of Real Simple Magazine Spiral-bound: 160 pages Company: Oxmoor House (2007-10-23) ISBN: 1933821396 List Price: $21.95 Amazon Price: $12.45 Used Price: $4.30 
If you're old enough to remember Erma Bombeck's irreverent look at life, you'll love this book. It's funny, entertaining and shows you step-by-step how to clean a house. Even if you don't want to clean your house you'll enjoy a good laugh. Jan Dougherty, lovingly referred to as, 'the Head Rag Dragger', has written a book that gives you, "THE PATH" to clean your house. As she says, "Follow me my child and I'll show you The PATH"! She gives you a shopping list of what you need, where to buy it, and how to use it. The Path is described in detail for doing both maintenance cleaning (quick, down and dirty), as well as the Big Job (Spring Clean anyone?). There is even an extra copy of the shopping list in the back of the book so you can tear it out and take it shopping with you. The Nitty Gritty section is a detailed description of cleaning specifics in your house like the microwave, the range, ceiling fans, and venetian blinds, but you only have to read about them if you have them. There are plenty of pictures showing how to take some of these appliances apart so they can be cleaned properly. And hopefully you get them back together. Based on her experience you can keep your house and everything in it clean for about $16.00 per year. So throw out all that stuff out that is under your kitchen sink, none of it works anyway, and throw out your bucket too. Jan owns a residential cleaning company and The PATH is what she teaches her employees. She also explains how to start your own cleaning business after you get your own house cleaned. Read it for fun and a good laugh. Read it to learn how to clean. Buy copies for your kids so you don't have to clean their house when you visit. This book is the perfect gift for newlyweds, recent graduates (even old graduates), and the kid that just went out on his/her own. Hey! It would also look good on your coffee table. ENJOY THE CLEAN!

The House That Cleans Itself is a true housekeeping guide for the housekeeping–impaired! It boldly takes on the reasons behind chronic messiness and why ordinary home–organization books won’t work. Using the methods of “horizontal thinking,” this book teaches readers how to set up a home so efficiently and logically that it seems to clean itself. More than a how–to book, The House That Cleans Itself also looks at what God has to say about cleanliness and order, and how He can inspire order in every reader’s life in a fresh and unique way. For added fun, some of the tips Mindy uses come from research for her popular novels, The Trouble with Tulip, Blind Dates Can Be Murder, and Elementary, My Dear Watkins.

Whether your home is small or large, an apartment in the city or a country cottage, it is a space that should be at once beautiful and livable. The key to that is managing the upkeep without feeling flustered. Until now, there has never been a comprehensive resource that not only tells how to care for your home and everything in it, but that also simplifies the process by explaining just when. With secrets from Martha Stewart for accomplishing the most challenging homekeeping tasks with ease, this detailed and comprehensive book is the only one you will need to help you keep your home looking its best, floor to ceiling, room by room. In Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook, Martha shares her unparalleled expertise in home maintenance and care. Readable and practical–and graced with charts, sidebars, illustrated techniques, and personal anecdotes from Martha’s decades of experience caring for her homes–this is far more than just a compendium of ways to keep your house clean. It covers everything from properly executing a living room floor plan to setting a formal table; from choosing HEPA filters to sealing soapstone countertops; from organizing your home office to polishing your silver and caring for family heirlooms. Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook is organized for clarity and maximum practicality: Room by Room covers the upkeep of the appliances, tools, furnishings, and surfaces found in each room, from the entryway to the kitchen, from the attic to the laundry room. Throughout the House instructs the reader on the proper ways to routinely clean and periodically maintain everything in the home, including dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, polishing, scrubbing, waxing and much more. Comfort and Safety focuses on techniques to ensure your home is running properly and safely, such as recognizing when to clean vents, fixing a leaky faucet, and eradicating pests. A-to-Z Materials Guide provides an invaluable resource that explains the unusual materials that many favorite objects are made of–from abalone to zinc– and how to care for them so they last. Encyclopedic yet friendly, Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook is a seminal work–a must-have for everyone who wants a well-cared-for home that will endure for generations.
