The opening chapters introduce you to the idea of housekeeping and how to begin. She offers sample routines, task lists, etc. And she doesn't make you feel bad if you don't or can't manage everything she recommends.
Later chapters dig down into the specifics of various aspects of keeping your house looking and feeling like a home, and they are more like chapters in a reference text. You could read all the way through this book, but it's also a good resource for when you have specific questions.
Highly recommended for my generation. ( )
