Summary: FIVE STARS FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
Comment: After seeing Haley on PBS I couldn't wait to order his book, if only to encourage him to continue proposing solutions to cleaning problems that don't harm the planet and our health. My other cleaning books are so full of chemicals that I have never been able to apply the suggestions. Haley recommends safe everyday products that we have around the house and after using several of them I know how well they work. It's worth the price of the book just for the hint on how to remove pet (and human) hair from carpets and upholstery. (Just put on a rubber glove and rub - it's absolutely magical!). Thanks Mr. Haley!
Rating: 3
Summary: Some useful tips, lots of filler
Comment: I bought this book because I've really enjoyed seeing Haley demonstrate his tips on PBS, but I have to agree with the reviewer who said there is too much common knowledge thrown in here along with the truly useful hints.
In the home office section, he tells you that if you don't have an answering service then you should get a reliable answering machine. (Oh, I might have bought an unreliable one!) You should record your message in a concise, polite, professional manner, without being cutesy or clever. (Whew, that tip really saved me!)
In the same section, he says you should store papers, etc, that you don't use very often in the attic or in a dry basement, and to make sure everything is well catalogued and accessible. (Gee, none of that would ever have occurred to me.)
He also has a lot of tips that start out with phrases like "Some say that it works to do such-and-such." Couldn't he try these things out before putting them in the book, so he could definitively say whether to do them or not?
Despite these criticisms, there are some good tips interspersed with all the filler. There's probably a good 100-page book of hints hiding within these 400 pages.
