Housekeeping mega resource worth a look

Q: You recently featured a question by a reader whose daughter did not keep her apartment up to her mother’s standards. While you were right to explain that the daughter needed to find her own housecleaning methods, perhaps I can share a resource that will help both mother and daughter resolve the issue.

I recently discovered The Housekeeping Channel online ( www.housekeepingchannel.com).

This Web site is a wonderful repository of housekeeping data. It’s answered many questions I’ve had about stubborn cleaning problems — such as water-stained shower doors — and has also provided some very helpful organizing and motivational tips.

Can you pass this Web site along to them? — Jane in San Francisco

A: You’ve got it, Jane, and I liked the site so much that I’m passing it along to all of my readers as well.

The Housekeeping Channel is a well-organized, one-stop resource for housecleaning questions. I especially like its focus on safety and on environmentally friendly methods and products.

Cleaning hints and tips abound, as well as product reviews. You can search for housekeeping topics through their HC-pedia engine.

Articles are sorted by topic, allowing you to browse through several of them to pick up as much information available on cleaning tips. You also can subscribe to RSS feeds that will let you know when new content is available on the site. I recommend bookmarking this Web site and referring to it as an informative resource for all your housekeeping questions.

HOME TIP: To reduce time spent searching for home-improvement Web sites you want to revisit, create a folder within a browser’s bookmarks (or “Favorites”) listing and save your favorite Web sites in it.
