Customer Reviews

Wish there were more books like this!!!!

I bought this book to get a few "new" tips on this age old problem. I read this book from cover to cover, unable to put it down. Am I a neat freak?? No way, but each page is so chock full of easy, useful tips and information I couldn't stop reading. They've been a welcome addition to my shower gifts, and I"ve purchased several for Christmas gifts! I wish I would have read this book before we redid our kitchen ---great info on "how to" clean the newer surfaces on the market today. Great no nonsense fact-filled book that is fun and easy to read!

Changed my life!

My husband and I had a spat about the quality of my housework and he bought me this book. It has made such a difference in my life! The book is easy to read, gets right to the point and gets you excited about housework! And in my case that is not an easy task. The information about janitorial supplies (which I would never have thought of buying) is wonderful! Wish I would have had this book years ago.

Great tips even for the neatest neat freak

This book not only had some really helpful information and tips, but it was also fun to read. I really enjoyed it and my house has never looked cleaner. (That says a lot because most people called me a neat freak before I read the book).

A great book for us cleaning nuts!

Coming clean is a great book for people like me who actually like to clean. Lots of funny stories and great exercises. Lots and lots of helpful tips like how to get the soot stains off a fireplace and how to make a natural homemade cleaning solution. Love it!!!
