Summary: The Perfect Compendium for the Household
Review: "Haley's Cleaning Hints" is a follow-up to the original "Haley's Hints" which sold over 400,000 copies. The most popular section of the original book was the one on cleaning. As a result the Haleys compiled "Haley's Cleaning Hints". This book contains thorough instructions for cleaning just about anything you might encounter. From specific stains like fruit juice and ink to specific products like chewing gum, to specific items like garden tools or barbeque grills, it covers just about any cleaning problem. Best of all, most of the procedures involve using ordinary household items like baking soda, ammonia, and vinegar. "Haley's Cleaning Hints" is a highly recommended purchase for anyone seeking a reference book on cleaning anything quickly and easily with common household products.

Summary: Haley saved my day!
Review: Do you ever feel just like giving up after scrubbing and scrubbing and the stain won't come up with the "new and improved" expensive cleaning product you just bought? Yeah, well I did many times - until I read this gem of a book. Talk about a lifesaver - not the candy, this book! I had some apple cranberry juice stains that were blood red on my sheets that the cleaners couldn't do anything with - after reading this book I added a homemade mixture specified by Graham Haley and presto they're as good as new. Not to beat a dead horse, but this book should be on everyone's book shelf for eternal reference - a killer helper!

Summary: Repentant Slob
Review: Given the choice between, say, scrubbing my broiler pan and taking a nap, I'll take the nap, every time. But wait -- I got my hands on a copy of this book last week (I'm a sucker for anything PBS) and I'm a new woman. Not only have I been dipping my own silver stuff in that miraculous tarnish-dissolving bath... (a basin of hot water plus a hefty tablespoon of Calgon water softener and another tablespoon of salt, plus a sheet of submerged aluminum foil, lining the bottom of the basin -- dip your candlestick, making sure it touches the aluminum foil, and shazaam! it's shiny) ...but now I'm actually BORROWING tarnished silver from other people just so's I can play in the sink and make stuff shine. I think I have a new hobby. Today's project is to discover the original enamel under all the cooked-on gunk on my broiler pan. (One of my recurring fantasies is to be so rich some day that I can toss out my broiler pan after every use and get a new one. If this works, I'll be needing a new fantasy.) -- Janis Jaquith, Public-Radio commentator and author of BIRDSEED COOKIES: A FRACTURED MEMOIR

Summary: Waste of money...
Review: I bought this because I saw Grahm Haley on my local PBS station. He seemed great but I was so diappointed with this book. The book is awful, difficult to follow, difficult to find solutions for what your looking for. Make a donation to PBS instead and get his videos.

Review: I ordered and paid for this book in November 2003 and have yet to receive it and it is now March 24, 2004. I have e-mailed bibliophiliacs on at least three occassion but they have yet to relpy to any of my e-mails. I will never do business with this organization again is they do their business this way.

Summary: Everything you need for safe cleaning
Review: In addition to the usual good tips for cleaning stains and silverware, this book is especially valuable for the section on home-made cleaning products. Look at your grocery store bill; if you bought cleaner for your glass and surfaces, your bathroom and your kitchen, you may have paid a lot! Why not make your own cleaners from recipes in this book. You'll save money and even make a safer, more wholesome cleaning product. Especially good if you have asthma and can't tolerate perfumes or scents. Also good is the recipe for fruit and vegetable wash. It's a good habit to get into to wash your produce before using. All in all, this is a very useful and fun book to use and read.
