Gave me some useful tips on cleaning products.
This book is very similar to Speed cleaning: a spotless house in just 15 minutes a day (Paperback) and I think you're probably better off reading that one. Spotless has more specific tips on which stains go with which cleaning product. I find the choices of cleaning products to be old fashioned, I don’t like that term because I am a fan of old fashioned things, I just felt that there were better modern equivalents of some of the products Sharon has recommended.
It is handy to have around for when a mistake happens but when I did have an accident I couldn’t find the recommendation in the book of how to clean it even though I know it was somewhere in the book – I was having a party and a glowstick broke open on my couch :O - that was a good night anyway.

I read this Aussie book at my Mum's house last week. It has some great tips, including how to clean kookaburra poo stains off your porch!
