Summary: An essential resource for stain removal & basic laundry info
Review: A very easy to read and follow book about removing every kind of stain that I've encountered. Organized by chapter for those who want to read it cover to cover. Great index for those who just want to look up their stain problem and find the solution quickly without reading the book cover to cover. Many of the stains can be removed with simple projects we have around the house. Other times specific chemical solutions are recommended. Often times she suggests both a specific chemical and an alternative with something you probably have at home already which is handy. General instructions such as dabbing at a stain, not rubbing at it, and why, are explained and are easy to remember (and work)! A great chapter on general use and care of the washing machine and another on the same subject with your clothes dryer. Why didn't anyone teach me this information? Why doesn't this information come with the appliances when we buy them? I don't know the answers but this book is the solution. Tips such as how to clean the fabric softener dispenser and how, and when to clean your dryer's lint collector, and a solution for when you discover wrinkled clothes in the dryer. General care instructions for all kinds of fabrics and items such as drapes and lampshades. A great resource for an inexpensive price. How about both of her books as a bridal shower gift or for the new parents?

Summary: Finally - laundry made fun!
Review: OK, I admit it. Laundry isn't exactly my favorite subject and I certainly had no intention of buying a book about laundry. But after enjoying the sense of humor and solid down-to-earth advice from the Queen of Clean's first book, "Talking Dirty with the Queen of Clean," I went for it. And I'm glad I did. Once again, the Queen provides great ideas for formerly impossible stains and new techniques for old products. Every home should have the complete Queen of Clean library. Write on, Queen!

Summary: My wife swears by this book!
Review: OK, I haven't read it myself, but I've heard enough from my wife to write a review (she keeps reading tips out loud to me)! She sat down and read it cover to cover and keeps it handy as a "reference" book. It's filled with practical, simple "secrets" that really do work when it comes to cleaning laundry (like using lemon juice and sunshine to whiten whites), much as her other book about general cleaning does. The book will probably pay for itself after you try a few tips. Highly recommended!

Summary: SO SQUEAKY CLEAN, YOU'LL LOVE IT!
Review: This book should be one of the first books you ever buy your son or daughter when they leave the nest. Perhaps, when they come home to visit, the underwear will not be hot pink, the pant legs (if they are pressed at all) will not have three separate creases down the front, the pantyhose will not be a glob of twisted pretzels, and the pricey angora sweaters will not look as if someone just shot the poor rabbit! No matter how old you live to be, you still live and learn, and no matter how great a homemaker you truly are, you are bound to discover something here that you never knew before. Buy the book, it makes a terrific reference guide and is filled with interesting facts and tips. Aside from the book, I wonder if Linda Cobb does house calls. I have this incredible mountain of laundry piling up....
