With plain and simple advice on everything from dusting and swabbing to polishing and vacuuming, best-selling author Donna Smallin shows you how to make the most of your valuable cleaning time. Hundreds of quick tips and practical solutions for every imaginable cleaning situation promise you the sparkling, healthful environment you want for your family. Donna defines four types of cleaners: "The Super Cleaner", The Speed Cleaner", "The Green Cleaner" & "The Catch-up Cleaner". I fall into the third definition of Green Cleaner with a heavy dose of Catch-up mixed in. Those who know me will wonder how I ever decided to even open this book much less encourage others to buy it. It actually has so many wonderful suggestions that I have been referring to it several time a week. Did you know that good old baking soda and vinegar are both terrific cleaners? In addition they are easy on the environment. There are lots of recipes for make it yourself products from all-purpose to wood cleaners. Included are strategies for clearing clutter and getting ready to clean. The cleaning challenges are broken into room-by-room, everyday and household challenges such as clean air, pests and seasonal. There is even a section on how to keep your computer running smoothly by periodically "cleaning" the operating system.
