Description

Bring your home out of the mess it's in—and learn how to keep it under control! Housekeeping expert Dana K. White shares reality-based cleaning and organizing techniques that will help you learn what really works.

Do you experience heart palpitations at the sound of an unexpected doorbell? Do you stare in bewilderment at your messy home, wondering how in the world it got this way again? You're not alone. But there is hope for you and your home.

Managing your home isn't an all-or-nothing approach, and Dana has broken down the most critical things that you'll need to do to keep up with the housework. With understanding, honesty, and her trademark humor, Dana shares her field-tested strategies including:

  • Exactly where to start to tame the chaos
  • Which habits deserve your focus and will make the most impact
  • How to gain traction in your quest for a manageable home
  • Practical tips you can implement and immediately to declutter huge amount of stuff with minimal emotional drama
  • Cleaning your house is not a one-time project—it's a series of ongoing and daily decisions. Start learning Dana's reality-based cleaning and organizing techniques—and see how they really work!

    Praise from Readers:

    "This book lays out the hard truths of a clean house but in a way that doesn't make me feel silly for not having embraced them before."

    "Dana leads you step-by-step with the heart of a woman who has been there and struggled with the same issues you are currently struggling with. Really, this is a must read for anyone who wants to learn the secrets that all those organized types seem to know."

    "I felt like a failure already. Did I really need to read yet another book full of tips and tricks that would leave me feeling worse? From the first page, I was put at ease."

    Get ready to say goodbye to the stacks of dirty dishes crowding your kitchen counters, conquer the never-ending piles of laundry, and stop tripping over clutter on your living room floor as Dana helps you discover what works for you, for your unique personality, and in your unique home.

    A 28-day guide to help you start getting your home under control is available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

        • premium: True
        • source: AudioFile Magazine
        • content: As narrator, the author sounds like she's trying too hard to express the right amount of emotional emphasis and to sound accepting of her listeners' conflicts. But for most listeners, her thoughtful advice will predominate, allowing them to accept this audiobook as a practical guide to developing reliable cleaning routines. A veteran blogger (aslobcomesclean.com), she's supremely knowledgeable about every possible cleaning issue. Her empathy and lack of judgment will help people be more honest with themselves about what makes them feel good, instead of getting stuck in oppositional or self-punitive patterns. Her shtick is admitting that she's a slob, so her conversational sharing and practical suggestions, if not her performance, will help listeners feel like they're connecting with a helpful support group, rather than just listening to an expert.
