Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

With first aid for carpet stains (blot with white clothes, immediately) and instructions on care for bronze, silver, and cast-iron, Consumer Reports continues its efforts to educate and protect the masses. There are details on house cleaning products, furniture care, clothes washers and fabric softeners, air cleaners and hand soaps, and a full appendix on stain removal. Next time you trip with your cup of coffee, you'll wish you had some fast answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cannot beat this price - I would have paid more for this great product!
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2010

If you are looking for a book that tells you the steps of how to do each specific task it brings up - this is not a manual.

If you are looking for concepts for the clueless person to build wisdom (the why behind the answer) then this is the book for you!
The price on this book was so low it seems way too devalued - I'd buy it for $2.00 at least and I bought it for ~half a dollar!
It includes a whole lot of common sense and is a guide to point you in the right direction when you don't know where to start. Yes you will need to do a little more research yourself for your particular situation but it has warnings about common pitfalls and helps you steer clear of bad situations!

You may be the person whose mother taught you everything she knew and all her little tricks too - this book is not for you.
This book is for those who didn't have mothers or whose mothers didn't teach them these things or (insert other category here so you feel included...).

** I found the section about water treatment particularly helpful as I live in a bad watered community!

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023

I bought it for three reasons.
1. Figure out how to get Sap off of a car.
2. Figure out how to clean a bathtub properly.
3. Figure out how to clean an oven properly

I could find nothing about getting sap off a car.
There was no useful information for bathtub or oven cleaning that I did not already know.
