If someone promises to save you up to 75% of the time you now spend cleaning your home, it is quite a promise. And that's exactly what Don Aslett says he can do, in this extraordinary book. He promises to free you from most of the drudgery of housework, and give you back hours of time every week to spend on things that are more worthwhile. Don, we believe, has written an immensely important book on what up to now might have seemed a boring subject - cleaning. And he is uniquely equipped to do so. He started cleaning for housewives 20 years ago to pay his way through university. He now heads one of the largest cleaning firms in the world, employing over 2,000 cleaners. He believes that women the world over get a very raw deal as things stand. They are working with tools that a professional cleaner would not give a second look at. So several years ago he set out to bring the benefits and efficiency of industrial methods into the home. He organised seminars involving thousands of women. He listened to every tip, every suggestion for improvement, and then spent thousands of hours testing. . . testing equipment, testing chemicals, testing methods. As a result, when he says you can clean (really clean) a toilet and bathroom in 32 minutes a day, he means it. When he says he can stop at source most of the dirt that habitually ends up on your carpets - he means it, and tells you how to save hal f an hour a day just by buying the right mats. This book isn't exactly a Frederick Forsyth or a Catherine Cookson, but it is riveting in its own way because Don's methods are so obviously right - and they will give you back the one thing everyone seems to lack in this day and age - time. And nothing could be more valuable than that! .
