Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook

I can never remember how to deal with yellowed flea market linens and water rings on wood. It's a very large book when you only need two pages, but you can secretly quiz yourself on how many of her weekly, monthly, and annual housekeeping tasks you actually undertake (about 65%).

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.

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.

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