Whether your home is small or large, an apartment in the city or a country cottage, it is a space that should be at once beautiful and livable. The key to that is managing the upkeep without feeling flustered. Until now, there has never been a comprehensive resource that not only tells how to care for your home and everything in it, but that also simplifies the process by explaining just when. With secrets from Martha Stewart for accomplishing the most challenging homekeeping tasks with ease, this detailed and comprehensive book is the only one you will need to help you keep your home looking its best, floor to ceiling, room by room.

Martha Stewart?s Homekeeping Handbook is organized for clarity and maximum practicality: Room by Room covers the upkeep of the appliances, tools, furnishings, and surfaces found in each room, from the entryway to the kitchen, from the attic to the laundry room. Throughout the House instructs the reader on the proper ways to routinely clean and periodically maintain everything in the home, including dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, polishing, scrubbing, waxing and much more.

I'm not a die hard Martha fan, I didn't get this book because her name was on it, I got this book as a reference. The information in this book is well organized (of course, it's Martha!) and presented in an easy to read format. This book covers everything that a newbie would need to know, and a seasoned pro would like to check up on or verify. This would be an excellent book for a house warming gift.

This is a pretty good book for people like me (note subject title). Nice for a newly wed who needs helpful suggestions on how to set up the first house and keep it in good order.

Martha Stewart"s "HomeKeeping Handbook" is more than just a reference book for homemakers. It is the bible to homekeeping. Inside the covers of this book there are list to allow a person a way to see what is important to do daily, weekly, monthly, seasonably, etc. The book contains many valuable tips and information that goes beyond being just helpful. I recommend it as a selfhelp guide for those just starting out on their own or those who have been struggling for years to maintain home and work. The overstock. com price was reasonable in comparison to the bookstore price and much better than committing to other purchases by obtaining it through a book club. I was so thankful for it. I have been ill for several years. During the illness, my husband has been straddled with the homework. Needless to say, my husband will never win a trophy for acomplishment in housekeeping...I would say he would get an award for trying though. Until I was introduced to the Martha Stewart "homekeeping Handbook," I felt so overwhelmed and hopeless I wanted to give up. I now know that there is hope and once I get the strength I know that this book will allow me to get things organized better than they ever have been. It is my right hand in homekeeping.
