Feather Your Nest: The Complete Guide to Outfitting, Cleaning, Organizing, and Caring for Your Home
Keeping house is an art that many of us have lost. With more of us working long hours outside the home and spending less time within it—mainly chasing after kids or crashing out on the couch—we don’t have time to make the bed, let alone polish the silver. And yet we love our homes and want them to be comfortable, clean, and safe—we just need someone to tell us how. Cerentha Harris, herself a harried working mom, offers practical, stylish strategies for cleaning and caring for the home. She understands the concerns of today’s readers. Her tips are time saving and easy to follow, and whenever possible they’re environmentally sound: Instead of relying on expensive, and perhaps harmful, chemicals, Harris shows us how to tackle the toughest of home tasks with earth-friendly cleansers and a bit of ingenuity and elbow grease.

I know the title may not sound that exciting but this is a really useful book. Ever had a stain on a favorite piece of clothing you didn’t know how to get rid of? This book will help. Ever spilt red wine on the carpet and frantically worried what to do? This book will help.
Two parts old fashioned remedies (your grandparents will be impressed with some of the solutions here) and two parts modern career woman sensibility, this book would make an ideal leaving home gift for son or daughter or a great engagement present.

Let me just say…I LOVE THIS BOOK! I rented this from the library one day when I came across it and after renewing and renewing, I bought my own copy…I loved it so much, I lent my copy to a co-worker, she loved it…so I bought myself another copy and let her keep it. I love natural cleaning and simple, straight-forward organization. This book is not marketed to be a “natural” or “eco-friendly”-type manual/guide but it really does emphasize on the basics of cleaning and cleaning products that have become a ‘lost art’ in today’s society. The author does a phenomenal job of keeping each chapter engaging and fun, so that it becomes a light-hearted and enjoyable read rather than a dull manual of how-to’s. It is worth every penny to have a copy of this book at home (or even available to lend out to your friends and family)
