Happy reader
I've been writing for a time, but not professionally. I'd about decided I didn't have what it takes to do a biographical type book. That is, until I read Aslett's book. The helps are so practical and thorough, and Don is so encouraging in his comments, I finally felt that, with his help, I could tackle the job. Things are going better than expected. The illustrations, examples, process ...

A Very Useful Book!
This book is the most useful book on cleaning I have read. The author owns a cleaning business and shares tips on how to very efficiently and effectively both clean and de-clutter your home. He also discusses ways to keep the house from getting dirty to start with. I've used his tips for years now and have just re-read my copy of this and refreshed my memory [and got even more ideas!]. The ...

What a Treasure!
This book is my ticket to the orderly and uncluttered life that has been eluding me. It's not only effective, but also well-organized, besides being entertaining to read, because of the way the author presents his material. I have bought an additional copy as a gift (for someone who asked to have it!), and I know she will be happy with it, too.

A bible for cleaning
Easy to read, straightforward, and illustrated well. This is a must have for every household. It's also very inspiring. I've used the techniques in the book to really reduce the cleaning time in my home. I've read a lot of Aslett books and they are great. Literature? No. But if you want to get stuff done, keep it clean, and do it quickly - he's the guy to follow.

Construction Cleanup : A Guide to an Exciting & Profitable C
I was considering starting a cleaning business and did a lot of research, this book kept coming up as a "needed" book, that I should purchase. I did purchase the book and have learned so many valuable lessons from it. It is well worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone who is going into the "construction cleaning" business.

Just what is needed
Very short, concise, and to the point. I've read this book several times and then used it to paint several areas of my house. Aslett's claim that it would save me time and money were absolutely true. His tips and tricks here are invaluable.

Who Says It's a Woman's Job to Clean?

Don Aslett

Marsh Creek Press, 1986

Eye-Opening
I recently gained access to this book through my library's inter-library loan system and thoroughly enjoyed it. One key point Don Aslett mentions is that one of the # 1 reasons that most women seem to, well, get "stuck" with the job of cleaning, etc. is that it's due to tradition. The woman's mother/grandmother had that job, so it was naturally expected that her daughter/granddaughter would ...

Learn how to give an entertaining, and original speech.
Though Don Aslett is known mostly for his books on cleaning and organization, he has also written an excellent book on public speaking. I am a high school student, and speeches have always scared me. However, when I began to read Don Aslett's book, I decided that maybe speeches are not so bad after all. This book offers tips on preparing your speech, how to dress, and even ways to ...

If you have hardwood floors get this book
My wife and I bought an Arts and Crafts era bungalow with hardwood floors. Neither of us grew up with hardwood floors and were at something of a loss as to what to do with them. This slender volume concisely but fully explains how to care for these floors. It includes methods for assessing the floor and determing what measures are needed for its preservation.

Lose 200 Lbs This Weekend: It's Time to Declutter Your Life

Wonderful!
Absolutely superb! Quite possibly your best book yet.(The horror stories alone make it well worth the price.) I've long believed that there comes a point where your possessions own you, instead of the other way around. Why do so many people think they'll need things "someday?" Pack-ratting really is a rampant form of obesity. So I'm calling my furniture consignment dealer...today!

** RE-TITLING OF A PREVIOUS BOOK **
I want people to be aware that this book was previously released as, "Lose 200 Pounds This Weekend: It's Time to DeClutter Your Life." I find that practive a tad deceptive. For more reviews & a better price, see the other book.

Excellent book!
I was so inspired to declutter my house, I couldn't even wait till I had finished reading the whole book, I started right in on some overflowing drawers. I like his writing style; it's very down-to-earth and funny, especially when he mentions some of the things he himself had accumulated before he "saw the light." I laughed out loud several times while reading it. He really gets into the ...
