Customer Reviews

Satisfied

The book was initially misdelivered. I did receive it 3 days after the delivery date. However, I was able to get some use from the book. I am glad I bought it.

Helpful problem solver

I keep this in my night stand for an easy helpful reference to some frustrating home problems. Terrific book.

CLEAN UP

i've enjoyed reading the material which gives advice on cleaning up what one needs.

Fun reading even if you don't have any white vineger

This book can help just about anyone in cleaning anything around the house. Using baking soda, vodka (!), and other assundry items provides one with enjoyable reading as well as imaginative jobs to do in the bathroom, kitchen, and the car.

ZANY AT TIMES, BUT, HEY, IF IT WORKS DON'T KNOCK I

Most of us know that common househeld products have multiple uses. For example, vinegar and baking soda are almost staples for solving a dozen and one different household problems. However, some of the solutions you learn in this book might seem right off the wall! Alka-Seltzer to clean a toilet bowl - and just why would you WANT to use Alka-Seltzer? Jello, as a foot deodorizer - no doubt, designed just for those who like that squishy feeling between their toes. Alright, those may seem a little extreme, but the book truly does have it's helpful hints and merits. There is no guarantee that all these little tidbits of information are going to work, and some I would dare not try. If I ever suggested to my darling husband that he shave with Reddi-Whip, he might think I was getting just a wee bit kinky! Some of the tips may seem far-fetched, zany and bizarre but others actually do work; for the price of the book, it is still a good deal.
