]]> Recently, Keeping the Castle had a giveaway for five copies of Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Home.  In Mrs. Meyer’s book, she’s teaches us to “clean like the dickens”.

mrs-meyers-clean-homeI have also been given the opportunity to interview Mrs. Meyers.  I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of questions to ask and honestly, I don’t think my questions sound so great.  I’m wondering if you could give me a bit of help.

Is there anything about cleaning you would like to know?  Do you have a specific question for Mrs. Meyers?  Please leave them in the comments.  Thanks!   :)
