Customer Reviews
Big fan
I love Jolie Kerr's column and her book. I enjoy how she excitedly addresses listener cleaning quandaries & funny messes. I like listening to Jolie & her interesting guests. She keeps it real and does her research.
Life-changing
Jolie is so funny and smart, her advice is spot-on, and I am so much less disgusting than I was before I began listening to her show. This woman genuinely loves cleaning up our horrible, horrible messes, God bless her.
So helpful!
I've been reading Jolie's columns for years and I love hearing hearing her fun and unique voice out loud too. The advice is always hilarious and spot on!
