This is rich looking, big and a wonderful book. Before I got this book, my life at home was out of order and everything was a mess. After reading this book, I had a host of ideas to help me organize my food pantry, redecorate my living room, bedroom and bathroom, etc, etc. My life is now more orderly and much simpler at home. My home has become a more pleasant place to spend time. Keeping my home in order after all these changes requires virtually no maintenance. Martha's ideas were not costly at all. I discovered that I could use things that I already had around my house. I found new and more practical uses for literally 100's of objects in my home. I found the seasonal checklists exremely useful. This big volume has so much good advice that I can't imagine that there'd be someone out there who couldn't gain some insight from Martha's tips. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little organizing in their lives. Great work!

Yup this book has everything. I have owned it now for four years and have got two houses up and running with all her advice. It is very helpful. I have even lent it to a couple of friends who were settling in to new houses.

It is a great reference tool for everything. Whenever I am having to buy something new for the house (mattresses, pillows, carpeting, kitchen counters etc.) I refer to it for advice. She doesn't go wrong. My new kitchen is fabulous and functional. Incredibly functional. So is my laundry room and all my bedrooms.

This is an extremely useful book for anybody. It covers everything from simple dish washing to ..... well it just covers everything!

A perfect gift for newlyweds, new homeowners, kids moving into their new apartment, packrats, slobs, neatfreaks, obsessive compulsive cleaners etc.

There are no excuses now that you own this book.

Any question you have pertaining to issues around setting up and maintaining a home are found inside this thorough, concise and easy to read book. Within the first week of owning it, I successfully unclogged our shower drain without using toxic drain cleaner. The book is full of wonderful recommendations for choosing myriad household products, from scrub brushes to appliances. I will buy one for my daughter when she graduates high school and leaves home, as I know it will be an invaluable tool for her.

Everything you need to know about cleaning and maintaining a home. Some sections should be updated using the newer steam-type appliances for ironing and cleaning floors. But a very good reference to tackle ordinary and not so ordinary problems related to the home. A good common sense approach a la Stewart.
