Experts say Americans spend an average of five years of their lives cleaning and maintaining their households. That's a lot of time, and that's why Don Aslett wrote this new book. In it, he provides tried-and tested techniques for preventing the need to clean, so readers can spend more of their precious time doing the things they enjoy. Readers will learn how to make cleaning last longer, clean faster and more efficiently, reduce clutter and messes, create cleaning schedules that work with a hectic lifestyle, and get excited about cleaning. Aslett presents information in lots of easy-to-browse checklists, quizzes and sidebars that serve to educate and inspire readers every step of the way.
