    Totally adaptable to what you want - just wish her website worked!
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2022*

I could find no way to contact this author, but unfortunately 90% of browsers block her website because it doesn't have security certificates installed. (I'm in cybersec so if she reads this, the fix for that is about $100/yr, just call your hosting provider and ask them to fix it!) But about the book itself: I take a bit of issue with the person who said they thought the treatment of some things (furniture, expensive light fixtures) was harsh because all you have to do it change the tool(s) you use or be more meticulous in some cases with delicate things. Also, I won't clean as often as she thinks we ought to but that's okay with me. Her methodology is sound and it's motivating to people like me who are trying to learn to do something I've paid people to do my whole life! It gives me the confidence I wanted to move forward.This is an area where people who have always done it don't seem to give very good advice about how it's done. My suggestion for an encore would be: "Cleaning in the Stay-at-Home World" because I'm hearing more and more how it's harder with everyone working from home but people are burned out on cleaning all the time. Not sure how Jan could help us solve those issues but I'd buy that book too :-)

    Ignore the nay sayers!
  

*by P***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023*

I read the reviews criticizing the manner of the writing. I've read books so poorly written they barely parse as English. I wanted the information Ms. Dougherty offers and figured I'd just brace myself for bad writing.Not so!  Yes there are some syntax and typo errors. But overall, this is meant to be CONVERSATIONAL.  We don't write and speak the same ways, yes?  This book reads as if the author is standing at your elbow with camaraderie and HUMOR.  Much humor!  And very USEFUL information.English teachers out there, please take a breath and loosen up. This is a terrific book and I thank Ms. Dougherty for writing it.

    Amusing and Extremely Useful
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020*

This book pleasantly surprised me. Jan is old school and her methods make a lot of sense. For those of us who grew up with neat freak moms who didn't want us helping and just wanted us out of the way- this book sheds a lot of light on how to do basic cleaning and maintenance and the right order to do it in.I found her advice on dividing up rooms into "slices" very helpful. For perfectionists, knowing that there's a way to divide a large job up and that it doesn't all need to be done in one fell swoop- let's just say that its a relief. We all have finite energy and focusing ability. Jan's method makes sense, it's clear cut, and simple.I left off one star because the book needs to be edited. There were quite a few typos (Swiffer brand products were referred to as Swifters and Swiffers intermittently). I found that a little distracting. Jan also uses the term "girls" to refer to her cleaning team. And there are some mentions of men flinging pee and some assumptions that men are not tidy and women are. If you're sensitive about that kind of thing you might be offended. I found it amusing because Jan is older than me and she sounds like my grandmother.One last piece of advice- I bought the Kindle version. I regret not getting it in paper form. This book is a reference, and you will want it with you while you work and to refer to her photos. You can screenshot the materials list in the back of the book to take shopping though, which I appreciated.This book is a good value and I like Jan. She's funny and motivating.
