How Clean Is Your House? by Aggie MacKenzie, Kim Woodburn (2004, Hardcover)

It is very easy to read. I love the green and economical tips on products to buy. They make cleaning seem like fun. They also show you easy ways to fix those really baked on and grimed up places and things.

It has easy to follow daily, weekly, monthly routines. If you are really behind they have a great strategy for dealing with really dirty rooms and environments. I have purchased a total of 3 of these books to give away!

Kim and Aggie will inspire you to clean your house! No doubt about it. Their TV show produced for Channel 4 in Britain is an entertaining reality show in which which these two women (and a huge cleaning crew) scour and polish some of the filthiest, cluttered homes in Britain. And their focus is on using non-toxic, environmentally friendly cleaning products. The book, which was a companion to the much less popular and successful series on on the Lifetime network, gives a lot of cleaning tips, presented in a cheery, conversational format. There's really not a lot new here, but it is worth looking at this book to get some motivation for tackling the cobwebs and dust in your own house.

I got a lot of good ideas for upgrading my cleaning. There are so many things you forget about on a daily basis that really need to be looked after. Their information is also quite economical. This book doesn't recommend buying hundreds of dollars worth of expensive cleaning chemicals, nor do they pitch their own licensed products. My only complaint is sometimes the chapters or explanations aren't long enough. I wish there were about twice as many pages in this book.

Great book for someone looking to get on an organized schedule of cleaning. Doesn't have the great tips they give on the show, but does tell how often and in what order things could (should) be cleaned.

This book is a must read to upgrade your cleaning skills! Full of handy hints that are economical and practical, the book is written in a fun way that is both entertaining & educational!! I love these gals!!

Kim and Aggie share their helpful hints. Those girls have seen many dirty buggers! Don't let your house fall apart! Trust those ladies.

A friend let me barrow her copy about 3 years ago and I had to have my own. I bought it on ebay. I recently gave that copy to my sister (who is also a fan of the program) so, I had to get a new copy for myself.

It is an easy read and explains what to do and how to do it. It is simple and I do refer to it for using more organic cleaning methods. The same humor on the show is in this book, with great photos. I actually look forward to cleaning my refrigerater. I am house proud.

This book had alot of information i found useful. It had alot of natural cleaning ideas in it which i really like. This book was great.

What a great book! Just full of great hints, time savers and tips! Kim and Aggie are truely wizards at cleaning! Well written and entertaining!

This is just a great book to have and was well written and also fun to read , and so helpful for some things you may not even know what to clean with. Just another compliment to their TV Series....keep it clean and keep the knowledge coming!

I never learned how to clean, and so I resent doing it. I began watching the TV Show "How Clean Is Your House" and saw these ladies had some great tips. This book gives a simple overview of products to have on hand, and how to schedule cleaning and make it routine. Then, it has chapters that tell you how to clean everything in your home in detail. I actually don't mind ironing or wiping down the counters anymore. It's a small book and easy to read in no time at all. I take on one task at a time and in the last week my home has been effortlessly cleaner.

The book is very helpful! The book has great advice and it makes cleaning easier and faster!! Aggie and Kim really do know their stuff! this book is great for people who want to clean fast and do it just right.

This book is very informative for a person who loves to clean! There are so many great cleaning recipes in here to make your own cleaning solutions. I highly reccommend this book.

this book kicks butt. I bought one for me then for both of my boys, I then purchased another book of theirs Too Posh to Wash, this too is great. I am now changing my tv cable to dish so I can watch these two amazing women.

I bought the book because I watch the show every day. Kim & Aggie are very entertaining and informational. They educate on germ and bacteria fighting and how to keep allergens to a minimum. I was hoping that the book would be reference for my own cleaning and it certainly is that. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a clean home/office and structured time management for cleaning.

This book tells you how to clean your house using natural products, which is good for the environment and our health!

If you like the show, you will love this book. It gives all the cleaning tidbits that you see on the show, plus tells you how to achieve the clean house in all of us. Kim and Aggie give their personal thoughts on everything from pets to their pick of cleaning products. A very funny and warm book, just like the two of them. Do not hesitate to buy this book.

This book reads like the show - charming and motivating to get one to clean. I would have liked to see more tips and recipes for natural cleaners but this is a good start. I find, like watching the show, that I can't help but smiling while I read and it truly does get you in the mood to start really cleaning - you know down on your hands and knees with a scrub brush.

Clutter is one thing. Disorganization is another. Hoarding is it's own probelem, but dirt is your fault!

The book derived from the BBC TV program is fun way to look at a dirty situation, and actually do something about it.

Start with one dish, one corner, one room at a time. Make a little progress every day. By the time you finished the book, you will have a place to put it away.

Amazing

LOVE THESE GIRLS! They have put me on the straight and narrow path to cleanliness. Great info. A MUST have for any slob.

I was hoping for many of the cleaning formulas using common household items and tips I've seen on BBC. (like vinegar, lemon juice, borax, etc.) A few are sprinkled in here and there, but many of the cleaning ideas are just plain common sense that most people already practice. Most of the book is more about tidying. I don't care for the layout of the overall book. Just about every other page is a very strong color background, which is very distracting making the words hard to read on those pages. I really love the show on BBC, but had I seen this book first, I would not have bought it. Keep up the tv show but leave the writing to those who do it best, Kim & Aggie!

I LOVE this show and the book is excellent. Kim and Aggie totally rock and I love following their cleaning routines and tips for keeping a clean, fresh house! :D

I am a great fan of their show, the book has a lot of great tips!!I have tested a lot of them and they do work!!!

I LOVE this book! So much I bought TWO and gave one to my mother! Fast, effective and CHEMICAL FREE cleaning tips! Who would of thought a potato could clean a pan or that regular dish soap works better than all the stain sticks and spot busters out there for clothes! love it love it love it!!!
