Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Common Knowledge Material, Low Content Most of these many hints, are common knowledge. There was only a few surprises. I returned this book without hesitation after trying to find more than a few worthy ideas. I consider the book to be 95 percent filler. Some examples, Hint: Insulating the hot water pipes saves energy. Wow. Hint: Rotating your tires, will make them last longer. Hint: Using a roll back thermostat saves energy. Hint: Alternate wearing two pairs of shoes, makes them last longer. Sorry, I was not impressed. I believe those who are handy-person types will agree, this book does not command the going price. Rating: - A Bachelor's Dream I hate cleaning, and must admit I'm not very good at it. Part of my dislike is wrought out of ignorance. I simply do not know what I'm doing. Cooking is also not a skill I have. I need help. Haley's Hints teaches me to cheat my way though a lot of household problems. He covers cleaning and cooking tips, but that's just the beginning. Like the old "Hints from Heloise" I read in the newspaper as a kid, Haley presents very do-able solutions to everyday problems. Unlike Martha Stewart's ideas, which seem unreasonable in the average income family, Haley seems to have considered the practicality of his hints quite aptly. Whether is it is hiding food odors, discouraging ants or his various methods of removing gum from things, he has a trick to it here in his well organized book. The guy is thorough. The sheer number of pages will provide plenty of ideas for your home. Besides making a great read for extended bathroom visits, it serves best as a reference. HThe index is impressive and easy to use. I fully recommend "Haley's Hints: A Compilation" by Graham Haley. Anthony Trendl Rating: - Best Hints Book I've Seen! I received Haley's Hints as a gift from my soon to be sister-in-law. Even though it's not meant to be read cover-to-cover, I did anyway, just because the hints are so fabulous! So far, I've removed impossible burnt-on stains from the drip trays on my stove (Haley's Hint: baking soda and water combined with a little "elbow grease") and saved my favourite shirt from a tomato sauce stain down the front of it (Haley's Hint: Shaving cream and a little scrubbing with a toothbrush), among other things. This book has saved me a ton of money by letting me use stuff around the house (baking soda, bleach, cream of tartar, shaving cream, etc.) instead of buying those expensive store-bought cleaners. It is organized with a great index that let's the reader find exactly what he's looking for and quickly (important when stains are the issue!).
