There is nothing better than a job well done, and especially if it is a job you don’t like doing. That is the case (for me at least) with cleaning. I am great at tidying up but cleaning is another matter, unless I am in the middle of a great audio book that I can pop into the earbuds on my ipod. I was happy to grab this book right up when I read “No-Nonsense Advice that will inspire you to clean like the Dickens” because I really need some a ton of inspiration. I have now given the book a two month trial, and  I can tell you that this little chartreuse book worked its magic on my entire family, well at least the adults in this family!

Mrs. Meyer’s goes through all the stuff you need to know and just leaves out the rest. Giving hundreds of great tips and ideas for keeping it all clean. Each chapter in Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home is dedicated to one room, and the chapter goes over everything in that room and how to keep it up and keep it clean. I love the “What to Clean and When” portion especially (p. 21). Mrs. Meyers discloses how to conquer all the grime by allotting daily, weekly and once or twice a year chores.  For me it made me get the bigger picture and understand how I CAN DO IT! I can get a handle day by day and a step at a time.

Another thing that really helped me understand her methods and direction was that she had nine kids, yes NINE! That right there should let you know that she is big on getting things done, and getting them done well and also- skipping the fuss of cleaning things that don’t need to be cleaned.  I am all for that, and I don’t even have nine kids!

This book has personally impacted us big time in real life application. Since Mrs. Meyer’s came into our home, the house has been visibly cleaner. The biggest change? Well, that I know how often I really should be cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, counters, sweeping, and mopping. This is thanks to her easy to follow charts, lists and quick tips, they make me feel like I have a handle on it all.  The before Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home and after is not even comparable.

What will sound crazy is that I am not spending that much more time (if any at all), I am just much more focused on what needs to be done instead of cleaning the same things over and not cleaning what really should be cleaned. Another miracle is since I stared getting the inside of the house more efficiently, my hubby has organized all the outdoor areas, and cleaned them, ahem…including a complete overhaul of the garage and attic. Yes, Mrs. Meyer’s does work miracles, miracles in the form of inspiration. I can’t say enough about this book, if you are stuck in a rut, or just don’t know where to start, or don’t care about fussy cleaning….Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home is the  perfect No-Nonsense book for you!

*The author would like to emphasize that the book does not push her products. (And I can personally verify that that is true)
