Book Reviews of Haley's Cleaning Hints
Book Review: A MUST HAVE IF YOU HAVE KIDS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've heard Rosemary Haley's cleaning tips for years on the radio as she was a frequent guest on a local afternoon talk show. Her tips helped my wife and I out of more than one bind in the past. This book is a must have if you have children. You know that however much you might expect everything, that somehow your little ones will find a way to make a brand new mess that has to be cleaned whether it's crayon on your new tile floor or refrigerator or fruit snacks smashed into your carpet. The Haley's remind that preventing the mess from happening is the best way to stop a mess in the first place. Well that's common sense but as we all know, not always practical.
Their book is sectioned by cleaning kitchens, bathrooms, floors and carpets, furniture, walls, laundry, even outside the home. While the book didn't suggest a message for those fruit snacks, the method for cleaning gum from carpets worked just as well. Food stains, pet stains, paint, and yes...they even cover getting out crayon marks! What a relief! If it can be cleaned, you will find a way to clean it in this very comprehensive book.
Besides these direct cleaning tips the book also provides advice on buying cleaning items, tools, and having kids actually ENJOY helping out. Now that is a miracle! Well done book that any homeowner should have and that anyone with children MUST have!
Book Review: best thing since sliced bread
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is just about the best thing since sliced bread!! There is not enough space to detail all the savings by just using household supplies like hydrogen peroxide, dish soap and baking soda to get out soiled clothes from bathroon accidents. As a PCA (personal care attendant) these hints are savings beyond what you could imagine by just using ordinary household supplies. Now our household purchases (ammonia, bleach, vinegar, etc.) are by the gallon as you can make your own supplies and save $$$! If you buy the book it will pay for itself guaranteed within a couple months. Five stars plus!!Book Review: Our Go-To "Cleaning Reference" Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw Mr. Haley on a PBS station and bought the book out of curiosity. It has become our go-to book for cleaning. In addition to his suggested cleaning methods being environmentally friendly, the space we use to store cleaning supplies has shrunk dramatically. Our friends now literally call us up to find out ways to get wax out of carpet, stains out of carpet, etc. If half of the book's contents are useful to you, it is money well spent.Book Review: Not that helpful.
Summary: 2 Stars
This book looked very promising when I saw a few tips on some PBS telethon, but the handful of messes I wanted to clean, his book could not help with, or helped by suggesting ammonia. That's hardly the greenest solution, but it was his only answer to several of my questions. I will look into the 'How Clean is Your House?" book because they barely use such harsh, stinky chemicals.Book Review: Great practical solutions that WORK
Summary: 5 Stars
Recommend this highly to everyone! I've already looked up lots of great tips on everything from cleaning my coffeepot to gettting rid of odors and cleaning all kinds of stains on anything! You can sure save money by having some basic chemicals and household items around! I'm giving copies as presents to family and friends!
