Clean House

Transform your home into a relaxing sanctuary with this comprehensive, method-based guide to cleaning and organizing every space, from the popular creator of the trusted online platform, GoCleanCo.

Long-time, respected professional house cleaner Sarah McAllister, founder of GoCleanCo, understands that a tidy home is the foundation of a calm home, and her simple room-by-room and step-by-step method for cleaning and organizing shows you how to get there effectively and efficiently.

Clean House takes you through your house room by room with actionable guidance to help you achieve and maintain the spotless and organized home of your dreams, even as you balance demanding jobs and family life. This accessible, user-friendly guide is filled with simple charts, checklists, supply lists, and instructions for how to create your own cleaning toolkit with everything you need for your housekeeping tasks—so you always know where to begin and what to do next. The book also contains Sarah’s popular budget-friendly homemade cleaning “recipes” like her everyday cleaner, which is an easy mix of hot water, Tide powdered laundry detergent, and bleach, or her glass cleaning mixture of hot water, Dawn dish soap, and vinegar, which is guaranteed to leave shower doors sparkling clean and streak-free.

You’ll also learn how to choose cleaning products with specific product recommendations, how to tackle every room efficiently, and how to clean every type of surface or object you might encounter from rugs to ceiling fans to lampshades, and more. You’ll find instructions for quick tidy-ups and deep-cleans, as well as how often you should do both, plus strategies for organizing and purging. And there is of course a guide to laundry, including how to wash and care for your clothes, towels, and bedding, plus helpful stain-removal tips, and simple folding instructions for the dreaded fitted sheets.

Sarah believes when your home is clean and tidy, it’s easier for the rest of your life to follow suit. Clean House will help you find joy in transforming your home into the relaxing haven you deserve.
