Ratings and reviews

I bought this book in 2005. It was the first book I bought after I had purchased my 1st home. This book has provided me with so much valuable information! It's essentially my cleaning bible. I've added notes, earmarked pages, & highlighted sentences. A must have for anyone who cleans a home!
