Excellent reference book. Great as a house warming gift. The information is current and exhaustive. I particularly appreciated understanding the "why" behind some of her recommendations like which cleaners are acidic and which are alkaline and why they could damage certain surfaces. ( )

My housekeeping bible. I love it. It's my go-to whenever I need to figure out something. ( )

This is a fabulous resource to have in the home. Stewart knows the 'right' way to do most anything, and gives her readers the confidence that they are cleaning their home, setting their table, ironing their sheets, etc., properly. ( )

Similarly exhaustive and prescriptive as Home Comforts, but with more graphics. An excellent resource. ( )

First words
[Introduction] I started compiling my research and information for this book many years ago, when I first realized that homekeeping, homemaking, and housekeeping were my favorite subjects.
When the first issue of Martha Stewart Living> was published in 1990, I could not have begun to anticipate how wide-ranging our readers' homekeeping concerns would be.
