Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Are you sick of turning your underwear pink and finding freshly washed tissue bits all over your new jeans? Perhaps it's time to investigate the deeper mysteries of the laundry room. There's more to clean clothes than soap and water, and Linda Cobb is willing to get down to the nitty-gritty in her simple, straightforward Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean. No question is too small for the Queen--she tackles everything from stinky shoes to starched collars.
Each short chapter concerns a specific topic, starting with the care and cleaning of the washing and drying machines themselves. Who knew the washer needed regular cleaning? A short section on line drying is included here as well; never again will you ponder the proper way to hang hand-washed slacks. Most of the chapters are devoted to various types of special problems, such as colours that ran, stain and odour removal, and cleaning large items such as bedspreads and lampshades. Explanations for when to dry-clean and how to make your own spot cleaners using household items such as club soda, cream of tartar and denture-cleaning tablets are also included, alongside ironing techniques and the definitive way of colour sorting. Particularly helpful are the A-to-Z guides to fabric care and stain removal at the end of the book. Each type of fabric--from delicates like chiffon and velvet to rugged corduroy and denim--has a preferred treatment and certain chemicals that it just can't handle. Talking Dirty Laundry will give you optimal cleaning results--whether you get chocolate on your khakis or wine on your wool, you'll have the problem solved before you can say, "Shout it out!" --Jill Lightner

THE QUEEN OF CLEAN IS TOPS AT TALK, 29 Jan 2001
By Gail Cooke - Published on Amazon.com
By now many of us are familiar with the "Queen of Clean," the duchess of the dustmop, the princess of pressing problems - she's frank, funny, down to earth Linda Cobb, author of "Talking Dirty with the Queen of Clean." Who can forget Tang in your toilet?This foe of all that dulls the sparkle of our homes is evidently also a bundle of inexhaustible energy as she is a regular on morning television, and publishes a bi-monthly newsletter.
Now, she's come to cure our Monday blues - laundry! If your T-shirts shrink, your socks are unpaired, your drip dries don't, the iron spews instead of steaming, give a listen to "Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean." In addition, she has more remedies for spot removal than linen has wrinkles. These cures for grape juice on gingham or jelly on jumpers are all inexpensive, effective, and surprising!

Pink undies are gone for good., 20 Dec 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean (Paperback)
This book could be retitled Laundry for Dummies. How hard can it be to throw some clothes in the washer and then the dryer? Depends on what is in the pockets of those designer jeans ! Ballpoint pen, crayons, chapstick and now I can get them OUT-OUT-OUT. This gal is the DIVA OF DIRT.

Now I Know Why They Call Her Queen!, 20 Jan 2001
By Lola Rosenthal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean (Paperback)
I have just saved a fortune! I had a small "mystery" stain on a very expensive blouse (a present from my grandmother) and I got it out using one of the Queen's remedies. This book is awesome. The Queen is so smart--and she's adorable too!
