Mrs. Meyers Clean Home: No-Nonsense Advice that Will Inspire Your to CLEAN like the DICKENS
Life is hectic and messy. Keeping your house clean and nice is the only sensible thing to do. Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home is two parts common sense and one part inspiration. Read it and you will learn how to clean like the dickens.
Thelma Meyer raised nine children in Iowa. As you can imagine, she has plenty of experience cleaning house. Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home has shortcuts and tips for cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room and shows your how to do it right the first time. She gives unexpected advice such as:
–Wash windows on a cloudy day to avoid the nasty streaking that happens when the sun’s out and glass dries too fast.
–Always clean out the fridge before grocery shopping. Serve the kids “Musko” (“must go”) for dinner, using the items that were fast approaching expiration.
–Always work hard.
–Don’t throw away anything (not even the water leftover from those potatoes you just boiled)!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home is fully illustrated and packed with every conceivable tip, which will help you to get your work done during the week to free up your weekends. Mrs. Meyer’s can help the new housewife or person starting out on their own, as well as the experienced housekeeper. There are tips for everyone.
Right now, if you’ll sign up for Mrs. Meyer’s emails, you’ll get $5 off any order of $25 or more.
