5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Real-World People!, 17 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Avoid Housework: Tips, Hints and Secrets on How to Have a Spotless Home (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book for anyone who hates housework and/or just doesn't have the time. I'm only half way through the book, but so far I've enjoyed everything! I especially love the portion where she states (and quotes others) that the immaculate homes that we see in the 'House Beautiful'-type magazines are not a reflection of normal people who have busy lives! Also enjoyed the chapter on getting the big ones and little ones in the household to do housework as a team. I am currently reading a library copy, but want / will get one of my own!

5.0 out of 5 stars A multicultural book ;-), 2 July 2003

"deeds104" - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Avoid Housework: Tips, Hints and Secrets on How to Have a Spotless Home (Paperback)

I am enjoying this book immensely. It is the kind of book I have referred to quite a few times. Although somewhat Americanised (Its an American Book after all !!) I have found it useful and funny in a lot of places, easy to read and have mentioned its title to just about everyone I have spoken to since buying it. I have used some of the ideas given in it and if you read it itll brighten your day up.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've purchased several copies..., 27 Mar 2000

By Linda Giles - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: How to Avoid Housework: Tips, Hints and Secrets on How to Have a Spotless Home (Paperback)

This is a great book if you are planning to move, build a new home or purchase new furniture. It gives hints on everything to the type of flooring that is easiest to keep clean to which furniture would be best to stay looking nice with little upkeep. Also good for ideas on how to organize and keep clutter to a minimum as to spend less time doing housework. I read it cover to cover and used a highlighter on points to refer back to. I loved this book so much that as a real estate agent, I give this to clients before they move and they have all loved it too!
