Guide Review - Laundry Book
Linda Cobb is the self-proclaimed Queen of Clean, perhaps because she does know her stuff. Talking Dirty Laundry with the Queen of Clean published in 2001 by Pocket Books, New York, is a comprehensive guide for handling laundry chores.
The Queen takes the reader through the basics of laundry and then hits the true tests...stains and problems. Her care guide by fabric type will save you and your pocketbook from terrible mistakes. If you can read the fabric content label on your garment, the Queen will tell you what to do.
The only thing I would add for your next printing is a tear-out stain removal guide that I can post next to the washer. For now, the book is on the shelf for easy reference - if only my kids would use it!
