As a huge fan of Aurikatariina Kananen's YouTube videos, I would eagerly read anything she wrote. She wrote the 2-page introduction, and the rest was written by Oona Laine. It was edited by Nea Johanna Mattila. Auri says in the introduction that she's not a writer, she's a cleaner, so, I was a little disappointed to find she didn't write the book, but it makes sense. It's partially her biography and partially cleaning tips, which I enjoyed.
One of my favorite things about Aurikatariina Kananen's free cleaning work is that she does what she can to help others without obsessing over sanitizing every inch of the homes 100% perfectly. She accepts that it can't always be perfect. She's quoted as saying, "If I was a perfectionist... I wouldn't be able to clean up these homes. You can't clean them up so that they're immaculate. If the resident hasn't seen their floor for years, like a monk, cleaners should let go in a reasonable amount of time and let it be." (p. 115)
Carrying that over to this book, the authors did what they could. The book wasn't perfect, but it's out there to help inspire readers as much as it can. The English is grammatically correct, and I only spotted a couple of typos, but some word choices throughout the book are unexpected. Sometimes, they sound poetic, but a lot of the time, they're jarring and confusing.
Occasionally, I couldn't understand what they were trying to get across. For example, on p. 182, "When Auri's friend Anni did not adopt the combination of a microfiber towel and a squeegee despite her best efforts, Auri advised her to try the dryer dry, just like that. The same trick is used by Auri's mother, who often uses the dryer dry at home, as it collects dog hair well, in particular." What's a dryer dry, and what does this tip mean? I don't know. But that's okay. The majority of the book made sense, and I was glad to get more of a peek into the life of the world's best cleaner.
I learned some new things about her philosophy and her life. I felt inspired by the cleaning commandments at the end of the book. I loved the photos. And despite my grumblings about the writing, I couldn't put it down.
