Customer Reviews

A must for all Mothers to give to their Daughters and Daughter-in-laws.

We believe we taught them well during their growing years, yet their homes have layers and layers of dirt, dust and grime! This book gives tips to help simplify their lives as far as house cleaning goes, and I have even implemented a few myself.

This was purchased for my daughter and she found it to be humourous and helpful

Wether it's mold, dust, stains, odors or other cleaning issues, Julie Edelman will inventively take you through it all with an eye to having you do much less to maintain that cleanliness.

Great Book for Busy Women!

The Ultimate Accidental Housewife was absolutely fabulous. Thank goodness I read this book! I am a busy woman and cleaning is not one of my favorite things to do. I learned many helpful and simple tasks that can make my house look cleaner and more organized in minutes. The author even included products and techniques to be more eco-friendly, which is certainly a bonus. She was definitely thinking about mothers when she wrote this book. There are solutions to everyday jobs included in the text that my children can help me with. They don't even know they're cleaning! I would recommend this book to any housewife, accidental or not.
