...and what's not to love about a book title that offers the possibility of doing it in half the time and written by a maid.I did enjoy reading/browsing through this guide but like a lot of other reviewers mentioned, I don't think there's really all that much here in terms of time-savers.Yes, there are some good reminders like keeping things organized to avoid unnecessary cleaning, keeping clutter to a minimum etc...but it still comes down to a lot of elbow grease and a regular time commitment required, if you want to keep a spotless or even reasonably clean living environment to live in.What I've found works best is to keep the unnecessary dust collectors out of the house, in the first place and set a time every week to give the house/appt. a good overall cleaning. And then to keep up throughout the week with simple things like picking up as you go and not letting the tasks get too big or unruly before the next cleaning session. Easy but effective.So much about keeping things clean comes down to just good common sense and organization. Team work too if you've got a houseful of people.
