Purchasing my second copy:
I am buying my second copy today. I teach high school and years ago my copy was loaned to our consumer education instuctor. I have not seen it since, but my high school students have!

I was left with many ideas that helped to speed up my weekly cleaning. I will say, that after reading each chapter, I was inspired to jump up and clean.
