#10minuteTidyHome #NetGalley

There are loads of great tips and ideas in this book. I now have some new storage ideas. I think that having all these tips in a book is a great idea. I have a few friends who will love this book.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

This book of household tidy hints is organised into individual rooms of the home and occasions, such as hosting parties for adults or children, travelling and moving house.

The hints are mostly very common-sense It lacked any photographs - had a few drawings to illustrate things like stacked boxes but nothing useful. The part section for adults and kids sorted of repeated its self as so many if the tips are relevant to both.

The hints could help someone who is setting up home for the first time or off to a shared university house, although the book does seemed to be aimed at family life.

Overall I was hoping for something more from these tips but it didnt deliver for me.

I received this book from netgalley in return for a honest review.

This book is beautifully designed. It has sort of an Art Deco-meets-clean modern style and color palette. I really loved looking through it. The content also is helpful. Most pieces of advice were pretty common-sense, but it is nice to have them all collected in one place. This would make a nice gift for a young person moving out on their own for the first time.

A book full of useful hints and advice.
I liked how it is organised and I will surely follow some of the hints.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Thank you Quatro - Fair Winds Publishing and Netgalley for an ARC in return of my honest review.

This book of 210 hints is organised into rooms of the house and occasions, such as parties, travel etc.

The hints may help someone who is leaving home for the first time, although the book appeared to be aimed at families. I found the hints mostly very commonsense so didn’t really gain anything from this book. I was hoping for something more, especially when one hint under airplane travel was to deflate beachballs before packing.

Again, as with the other book in this little series of guides, this is more a collection of tips to cleaning your house more than a guide.

I was expecting ideas on how to organize your home and make things easier, most of these ideas are very common sense and things that I do on a daily basis.

10 Minute Tidy Home by Sara L Hunter is a super wee book. It is well written and has numerous sections with each room and the chores to do to make them tidier. They are all quick and relatively easy to do so definately 10 minute chores.

An enjoyable book that was also quick to read. You could just quickly browse though it and get started on the tidy. Now off to put the great ideas into action.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quatro Publishing for the ARC Copy of this book. My review is my own opinion.

Sadly this book downloaded as a file type I was unable to open. I read digital books on my Kindle. This title didn't give a Kindle option for some reason. I'd like to read it if it becomes available on Kindle.

I am a BIG organizer, so I felt like this book did not really do anything for me or give me any new ideas, but for someone who is young and just starting out or for someone who is messy and wants to become organized this would be a great fit for them. Also, I really liked how it was broken into sections like kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, laundry etc. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is much more than just doing chores but doing them more efficiently. Good organizing tips, some of which will be put to good use the rest of your life. Only caveat for me is the mention of using AAA to print up route, etc. Since most people have cell phones, they can use an app for directions or some device like a Garmin. These devices are easier for the driver to use than a sheet of paper.
I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

Thank you Quarto Books and Netgalley for a copy of 10-Minute Tidy Home by Sara Hunter for review. Available September 17/19.

This book was divided by room and had a list of ten minute or so tasks that could be done in each. I found some of them to be quite obvious but if you were hoping for an easy way to choose a task, it would be great to just work your way through all the tasks in order. Half the problem for me is trying to decide what to do first so this book might help with that. I didn't find it ground-breaking and was hoping for more of a system or plan to keeping a house tidy every day rather than smaller cleaning tasks that are quite intuitive anyway.

What I liked about this book: I’ve read tons of home organization/cleaning books in the past but this book offered some new and innovative ideas that I haven’t heard before. The book is well-organized by grouping the recommendations by room and each recommendation seemed easy to implement.

What I disliked about this book: I wish the book would have provided more guidance on how to prioritize the recommendations.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an advance review copy in exchange for my honest review.

Funny thing - turns out I don't need this book! I smugly realized that I am actually very organized when I noticed that I already have done most of the tips outlined here. I have always been a bit of a neat freak, but I requested this book thinking I could always be EVEN neater. Validation is sweet!

I was generously given a copy of this book to review by the publisher through NetGalley.

I concede that perhaps I went into this book expecting it to be something that it is not. I was hoping this would daily challenges, things you can do each day in 10 minutes to make your home a little tidier. Things for someone that is already organized, but maybe not as diligent throughout the week or that puts off harder or seemingly minor tasks but that can be done quickly and make your home look much nicer.

In reality, I got a book that gave tips like "fold your towels and separate them by size and use", "use a pen cup on your office desk to contain all your writing implements", and "put your child's dirty clothes in a clothes hamper". Maybe I'm starting from a higher level than someone this book was aimed at, but the suggestions in this book are so mind-numbingly obvious that I found myself polling my friends to ask things like "Does everyone not keep their cleaning supplies under the sink?" and "Do you know separate your laundry into drawers by type of clothing (ie-underwear and socks, t-shirts, pants, etc)?"

While I'm certain that the author does, indeed, keep a tidy house, nothing in her book was any kind of new or revolutionary way of doing so. No inspiration for how to find motivation to accomplish the big tasks, no tips for how to get your family involved in keeping the house up, no daily tips for 10 minute cleaning tasks. No references to how this can create a 10 minute tidy home at all, in fact. I went into this book with quite high hopes, as I love cleaning and organizing videos shared online and find them quite motivating.

I was really hoping for tips and challenges to help me develop habits to increase the cleanliness of my home and instead got a list of obvious things that any adult would (or at least should) know to do already. I generally shy away from giving books completely negative feedback, but this doesn't even feel like a book. It's just a list of things broken down by room (and then, confusingly, occasion-such as how to party plan and pack for vacation that definitely did not fit with the idea of a tidy home as the title suggests) that literally felt it could have been copy and pasted from a blog post on any given cleaning site. I didn't find a single line of this book helpful or useful at all and don't see how anyone could.

An excellent guide for keeping a tidy home.Step by step organizing in an easy non overwhelming organized way.A very helpful guide to achieving a welcoming relaxing home.#netgalley#quarto

Not only is this book for of tips on how to keep your home tidy but also when you are traveling. The author provides so many good tips on how to keep your home tidy. I really enjoyed the tips for the kitchen- I feel as though that is always a "problem" room! The author also provides a break down of steps to do in order to prepare for hosting your own party, going to a party, planning your budget for the year, planning your move and more. I thought back to when I moved about 1.5 years ago and how I tried to break it down into steps and have a list for myself- I definitely could have used the tips found in this book to help me be even more organized and ensure I didn't miss something that needed to be done beforehand. There is so much to do and remember during a move and the section in the book about moving is perfect to keep around for that! Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds Press for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is probably not the best book out there on tidying, as there are no new ideas. It is a bit basic and everything is common sense. Might be useful to a young person just starting out, or as a quick dip into read. I liked the illustrations though.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This book is organized well, and the concepts are straightforward. Pretty common sense ideas but if you need tips these are practical ones. Some are maybe a bit outdated like stacking pans. With today's coated pans this is probably not the best option. It did give me some ideas which were helpful. I rate this a 3.
