I love their tv show–and this book! It was amazing to learn how much dirt and bacteria can lurk in an uncleaned house!
The “Cleaning Bible” is full of how-tos for easy cleaning, and recipes for making your own inexpensive, organic, & non-toxic cleaning supplies. I’ve actually tried lots of their ideas and they’ve all worked well. The only drawback to the book is the rather inefficient indexing. You have to take the time to familiarize yourself with what’s in the book if you hope to be able to find information when you REALLY need it.
This book will become my new standard wedding or housewarming gift for new house-keepers! The Cleaning Bible: Kim and Aggie’s Complete Guide to Modern Household Management

I’ve recently gotten addicted to “How Clean is Your House?” on BBC America. So much so that when I finish watching an episode, I start cleaning until my husband stops me or I have to go to bed or work. I have gotten so into the show, I now picture miniature versions of Kim and Aggie on my shoulder with their wit and wisdom as I’m scrubbing away at my bathroom or kitchen.
When I found they wrote a book, I ordered it immediately, and even got Amazon Prime so I could enjoy it sooner. I’ve had it for a few days now and I can’t say I’ve made much of a dent in the book. This is because I will read a few pages, then put it down to clean something. There’s something about them that makes me want to clean and convinces me that I actually enjoy it somehow.
We moved into a house built in 1928 last year, and we’ve torn the wall-to-wall carpets up and re-finished the hardwood floors underneath; taken the wallpaper down and painted; re-wired the kitchen; and basically had to start from scratch with this house. From all that work, cleaning seemed like such a chore, especially if we were to work on a new project that would inevitably make a mess. But now it’s not so daunting. In fact, I’m almost afraid to admit it, I’m having FUN cleaning!
Maybe it’s the thought of Kim saying, “And look how it sparkles, dear! You wouldn’t have known it could do that before, now, did you?” Or Aggie saying, “You only need a cap-full of bleach, dear, not the whole bottle!”
Either way, because of these two wonderful women, I get a kick out of cleaning and my home has been spotless for about two weeks (since becoming addicted to the show). My husband, who is probably “quite a filthy little beggar” in Kim’s mind, is happier as well because I haven’t been complaining as much about cleaning. (Don’t get the wrong impression of him–he helps out more, and from watching the show, I’ve noticed his complaints about cleaning are becoming few and far between.)
The best thing I have to say about the book AND the show is the Mother-in-Law test. She came over this afternoon for coffee, and was stunned at how clean everything was. I wasn’t even expecting her and I had no doubt when she pulled in the driveway that everything would be to her liking. I was even able to give her some tips I picked up from the show and the book!
I can’t say enough about this book or the two wonderful women who wrote it. It’s not even something you have to read before cleaning–the personal stories they put in make the book easy to read before going to bed or lounging around the house (when you run out of stuff to clean…or so you think).
As a childhood fan of Mary Poppins, these two women are probably the closest I’ll ever have to having someone say “spit-spot” and snapping their fingers and it’s clean.

I love this book!! Not only is it full of cleaning tips but tips on how to efficiently run your household as well. A must have for young homeowners/renters and especially for stay-at-home moms. I would recommend it to anyone looking to improve how they stay on top of things at home.

I love the cleaning chapters in this book. There is a lot of extraneous information about managing a household though. I’m going to buy the shorter book for my girlfriends. What I like most is that the cleaning suggestions use vinegar, baking soda, dish washing soap and oxy clean above the more toxic branded cleaners that give you a headache if you breathe them.

What a terrific and funny book for those of us who follow these two hilarious ladies as they clean the worst houses in the UK! (on BBC) I always wanted a list of what the ladies use for cleaning. They employ as many natural products as possible, such as baking soda and lemon juice. Now I am looking for decorative rubber gloves like those that they wear….
