Synopsis:

Laundry and Spring Cleaning are gorgeous, illustrated lifestyle books that approach home keeping as a series of rewarding and fulfilling rituals, inspiring readers with beautiful photos and offering accessible and practical information. Laundry explains how to organize and stock the laundry room; how to properly sort, wash, dry, fluff, and fold; how to read care labels and launder special clothing; how to remove stains and how to choose soaps and detergents. Spring Cleaning revives the lost art of the deep, seasonal clean; explains when to do it, how to get organized, how to clean any and all surfaces and in what order. Current competition leans toward the utilitarian, with encyclopaedic reference books or low-end "hint" books. These books will complement these with a beautiful, gifty approach, laundry and spring cleaning are topics that readers are increasingly perceiving as gratifying and even stylish.

About the Author: Monica Nassif is lovely, eloquent on the subject of home care, and incredibly smart. Whether people truly enjoy cleaning, it's clear that they enjoy thinking about it, reading about it, and talking about it.
