How do I get this chewing gum off my sofa? Help! I've flooded the kitchen! I've got biro on my skirt! My whites have gone grey, what can I do? How can I fix my smeary windows?

This doesn't have to be difficult; in fact it can give a huge amount of satisfaction and pleasure. Really, there's nothing nicer than sitting down and admiring what you've achieved once all the jobs are done. We're going to share with you two lifetimes of experience and know-how. We've tried our tips so many times that you can be sure they work. Next time you tackle a stain, scratch or sticky mark, it'll be just as though we're there helping you.

4.0 out of 5 stars these people know clean. 18 April 2007
Format:Paperback
if you know someone who is just about to leave home. buy them this book.

dissapointingly there is only about a 1/4 of it dedicated to cleaning. however it deals with everything!

getting insurance

dealing with emergencies

looking after visitors

choosing decor and flooring

dealing with pet mess

how cleaners actually work and what works with what stains

what tools you really need

an in depthe wonderfully detailed book, punctuated by short tales of kims experience of cleaning homes for a living.

too often we look down on cleaners as people who can do nothing else and housework as something awful. but this book shows that you should try to enjoy the process because of the rewards you will reap from it.

if you are living in a huge scary mess or tidying and then getting messy in a day you may need to sort that out first, although this book sort of deals with clutter and tries to set up a schedule i have found much better help through "sink reflections" by marla cilley but now my home is emptier and more organised the cleaning bible is taking over and i can now keep my tidy home sparkling.

also i love that kim and aggie don't advocate faddy cleaneres and there is a very basic list of what you need and it's all cheap, better for you and the environment and fits in a small cupboard.

but sorry aggie i can't see me ironing tea towels and dishclothes lol.

this is a wonderful book and a good read a great resource that i am sure i will turn to time and time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute godsend 26 Oct 2006
Format:Hardcover
Before buying the Cleaning Bible, I always struggled with keeping things clean and tidy. To say this book has changed my life may seem a little overdramatic but it wouldn't be far from the truth. It is extremely user friendly the way it breaks things down into bitesize chunks of priceless guidance and advice. As a reference book it is second to none and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants a helping hand around the house.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Cleaning Bilble
Good book, however it lacks many cleaning tips I have seen on TV. For the price the writers should have given more.

Hope next one is better.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice tips
it's a pretty nice book, contains the basic tips, but unfortunately, not all and it has more "talking" than necessary

1.0 out of 5 stars The Cleaning Bible
This is a very poor book. It is more for young people starting out than the cleaning bible I was expecting. In all, does not do what it says on the can.
