Think twice before you buy this book!
Buying this book was a big mistake. I was expecting a guide to more efficient and practical housekeeping, but instead I found a relentless paean to obsessive practices. If even a minority of the author's basic assumptions were true, I'd be dead by now. Sanitize your drains once a week! Give me a break! Change pillowcases twice a week! Have mercy! Disinfect your dish towels after every use! Oh, please! Haul your mattress outside for sunning twice a year! Ouch! And did you know that garlic lasts only 2 days at room temperature? Please! I'm sorry, but you've got to be joking.
Spare yourself another fruitless guilt trip...stay away from this book.
