Home comforts is pleasant to read and easy to consult. It is full of practical tips and it also contains some interesting historical information about housekeeping. It is a great guide for beginners and even for experts who wish to further improve their skills. Home Comforts makes one realize that cleaning is more than a humble task and that there is a big difference between owning a house and having a home. Making the house actually become your home. No title could be more appropriate for it. The book gives housekeeping (whether carried out by married or single individuals, professionals or not) the dignity that this art deserves.
This book is wonderful. It is both witty and informative. Ms. Mendelson has really captured the complexity of maintaining a household. Not only the cleaning, but the organizing and bookkeeping. As I read this book I remembered my own mother showing me how to iron, wash clothes, set a table and prepare a meal. The writing is down to earth and never preachy. I really enjoyed this book and have bought it for my future daughter-in-law. For anyone who needs to maintain a family home, no matter the size, I highly recommend this book.It teaches not only basic housekeeping, but talks of how to do it with love, laughter and grace.
I borrowed this book from my library, and found it was definately one I wanted to KEEP in MY library. I wish I wouldv'e found out about this book back when I started my own household. This book would make a great gift for newlyweds, for those just getting started out in an apartment or home. Not only does it talk about how to keep a house clean, the history of the way things were done, and how to work a schedule, it gives great tips on How to keep your whites the whitest, and remove stains of just about every kind, Food safety, and much more. Even if you already keep a neat home and a clean home, its great to have, just for the tips. Angela A.
I gave this book to my sister years ago and later wished I'd had a copy. A wealth of information!!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Thorough, organized, and easy to read, this book tells you how without making you feel guilty that you didn't already know! I'm buying copies for all my friends who are moving out on their own, my siblings,...even my mother! So much to learn, for those keeping their own house for the first time or for experienced housekeepers who could use more structure and organization in their housekeeping routine.
