This is my favorite housekeeping book of all time. You can get it on amazon for around $4 + shipping which is a steal because it is a $35 book. My favorite chapter is number two because it breaks down the basic cleaning pattern for each room. For instance...
Bedrooms: Strip the beds first and let them air. Next, tidy the room. Then dust. Wash picture glass and mirrors; wipe light switch plates, doorknobs, [baseboards], doors as necessary. Then vacuum. Make the beds last.
Bathrooms: Tidy. If you use a soaking solution in the toilet, put it in immediately. Then clean the tiles or walls around the sink, shower, and tub, including shower curtains and doors. Next, clean the tub or shower stall, followed by the mirror, cabinet doors, doors, light switch plates, doorknobs. Then do the counter tops, then the sinks. Finish cleaning the toilet. Sweep the floor. Wash the floor last.(You can wash lower walls and baseboards as you do the floor.)
There are 72 chapters on things like ironing, record keeping, linens, floors etc. She is really detailed.
