A mix of a cleaning advice for people who have never before entered a home (do the dishes) but then a level of clean freak extremism that made me think if I actually thought I’d have to clean to this level, I would just be a ball of tears and give up. It’s quite possibly the least useful book unless you’d like to cultivate a cleaning obsession, in which case, clean away.

This book is yet to be published, but after listening to it on Libby, I preordered the hard copy. We consider ourselves semi-professional cleaners since opening our Air B&B (all 5 star reviews!), but this book had some interesting tips — and I learned that sheet detanglers exist for the dryer — what?!? This is going to be a game changer. One of my biggest pet peeves is twisted up bed sheets in the dryer!

Hier und da gute Ideen, aber es wiederholt sich extrem oft. Das Buch hätte auch kürzer sein können. Aber an sich in Ordnung.

67% but DNF. Not for me.

I hate housework but this book was an inspiration, and I’ve learnt how to rescue burnt pans! I’ll never love housework but now it’s not the chore it was. Thank you.
