User Comments about the Houseworks: Cut the Clutter, Speed Your Cleaning and Calm the Chaos

I found this book very helpful in inspiring me to become more organized. Life is much more pleasant when you can find whatever you need easily, and you don't have to knock yourself out cleaning for company.



Our house was always unclean and unorganized. We've pretty much gotten the kitchen under control and adopted a fairly regular cleaning schedule. If you don't have a system, get this book and it will help you out. My wife has a high tolerance for mess. Having a clean/organized home is not something you can just figure out on your own.


We have lived together for 8 years and I just assumed that she knew what she was doing when it came to cleaning and organizing (because my Mom did it all growing up). We considered hiring a cleaning lady, but they don't organize, just clean. I needed a systematic way to make improvements in the house. This book is written for women but I think it's a great resource to right the ship on the homefront.


Love this book. The layout, the pictures, the information is just sooo appealing, inviting, and yet informative.



Great book. This book is full helpful suggestions and tips. As a mom of 3 young children ages 5, 3.5 and 19 months, I am always looking for ways to be better organized and keep a tidy home.



Quite a few of the ideas in this book are common sense and/or things some people probably do already, but it is amazing how much information is packed into this book. I also liked that it was organized room by room. I'm a very visual person and the colorful layout and motivating pictures appealed to me. I bought this book on a whim, and am very glad that I did so. For instance, there are some very handy charts for stain removal and food storage. I know that I will refer to this book in the future, whether to find information or to find a way to revamp a stale cleaning routine. I had never heard of a household notebook before, and I am implementing some of the ideas and checklists from the book and the website.
