This book gives charm to chores, yet is meticulously detailed and easy to use. I highly recommend it both for home reference and as the perfect housewarming gift!

This book should be entitled "The Obsessive-compulsive's Guide to Keeping House". The lists of tasks to do daily, weekly and monthly were more than a little overwhelming. If you did all the things this book says you need to do to keep a clean, orderly home then you will have little time for anything else. There are some good ideas in here, but they are overshadowed by the to-do checklists. Also the pictures in this book are of rooms with a very sterile, minimalist look to them. Boring. The rooms are indeed clutter free and spotlessly clean, but lack character and warmth. A little like living in a hospital.
I was very disappointed with this book.
