I love this book! It helps me find ways to clean and fix things with stuff we all have on hand in the house! It is the ultimate guide to offbeat uses for your favorite products. From cleaning the toilet with coca cola to reviving a dead car battery with bayer aspirin to fertilizing the lawn with listerine mouthwash, you'll be amazed as i was at all the things you can do with products you already have in the pantry, fridge, bathroom cabinet, and garage. it really works!

This is so much more than a book that lists the different uses for household products. It also gives a full history on each product listed, interesting stories as well as history of ownership. I find myself reading this book more for the information it give on the companies than for the different uses for the products.

Found this book when I was a preteen and loved it. Pretty great little read when you want something fun to pick up for a moment or two. Easy to put down and pick up again with interesting facts.
