Probably if we could ever get the house tidied we could really make use of Campbell's advice. It's good, simple, straightforward. Just not really applicable for a family prone to drifts of books on the floor next to all the furniture.

While there is some good advice on this book, I found the Speed Cleaning one more helpful. Again, that the book is quite old now lose usefulness due to newer materials, tools and products.
It doesn't really got the things you think of as being spring cleaning: turning and cleaning mattresses, cleaning fireplaces, washing net curtains, freshening curtains, cleaning light fittings, wardrobes, and storing clothes, or perhaps things like routine domestic appliance maintenance rust could be done, for example. Instead, there are huge sections on stripping and waxing floors and cleaning windows, for example. I'm not sure many people need to strip and wax their floors and I certainly won't follow the advice to sit on my windowsill backwards and lean out to clean the windows outside!
I was inspired after reading Speed Cleaning, but this one missed the mark for me.

More detailed cleaning from Jeff Campbell. His methods make sense and really help.
