Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook

The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home

By: Martha Stewart

Whether your home is small or large, an apartment in the city or a country cottage, it is a space that should be at once beautiful and livable. The key to that is managing the upkeep without feeling flustered. Until now, there has never been a comprehensive resource that not only tells how to care for your home and everything in it, but that also simplifies the process by explaining just when. With secrets from Martha Stewart for accomplishing the most challenging homekeeping tasks with ease, this detailed and comprehensive book is the only one you will need to help you keep your home looking its best, floor to ceiling, room by room. In Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook, Martha shares her unparalleled expertise in home maintenance and care. Readable and practical–and graced with charts, sidebars, illustrated techniques, and personal anecdotes from Martha’s decades of experience caring for her homes– this is far more than just a compendium of ways to keep your house clean. It covers everything from properly executing a living room floor plan to setting a formal table; from choosing HEPA filters to sealing soapstone countertops; from organizing your home office to polishing your silver and caring for family heirlooms. Martha Stewart’ s Homekeeping Handbook is organized for clarity and maximum practicality: Room by Room covers the upkeep of the appliances, tools, furnishings, and surfaces found in each room, from the entryway to the kitchen, from the attic to the laundry room. Throughout the House instructs the reader on the proper ways to routinely clean and periodically maintain everything in the home, including dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, polishing, scrubbing, waxing and much more. Comfort and Safety focuses on techniques to ensure your home is running properly and safely, such as recognizing when to clean vents, fixing a leaky faucet, and eradicating pests. A-to-Z Materials Guide provides an invaluable resource that explains the unusual materials that many favorite objects are made of–from abalone to zinc–and how to care for them so they last. Encyclopedic yet friendly, Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook is a seminal work–a must-have for everyone who wants a well-cared-for home that will endure for generations.

Chemical Free Pest Control

Hundreds of Practical and Inexpensive Ways to Control Pests Without Chemicals

By: Robin Stewart

Why use toxic and potentially harmful chemicals to control pests when chemical-free methods are equally effective – and much cheaper! This book contains everything you need to know to make pests unwelcome in your home – from ants, cockroaches, silverfish, slugs and snails, cane toads, rats, rabbits and foxes through to common household dust mites, bacteria, mildew and mould. Robin Stewart's Chemical-Free Pest Control introduces simple, effective and chemical-free alternatives – citronella oil, borax, soap, pyrethrum, vinegar, eucalyptus oil, bicarb soda, cloves and many more. Its household, pet care and garden procedures are extremely easy to follow, economical and environment-friendly. By treating pests yourself, rather than resorting to expensive professionals, you can decide what method or product is used and how much. Tips for a pesticide-free modern home include: • Moths cannot tolerate cloves, so scatter them in your wardrobe. • Cockroaches are repelled by Epsom salts; or killed by sprinkling borax powder in crevices, corners and dark places. • Head lice are readily eliminated using hair conditioner or mineral oil rather than toxic chemicals. • Ants are deterred with eucalyptus oil and killed with a bait made up of equal parts borax and jam. • Possums will stay away from your favourite plants if you sprinkle blood and bone around or spray with quassia.
