Supercleaning

"Dirt - who wants it? It's not a good look is it? A shabby house can have a certain worn charm, and unfashionable taste in decor sometimes shows a pleasing independence from the dictates of the style fascists. But get dirt into the equation and you've got a disaster on your hands. Sure, we do all have plenty of demands on our time but the fact remains: we want homes that reflect the best of our lives and aspirations, not dusty, grimy, cluttered, disorganised collections of rooms that, no matter how much we spend on them, never feel quite as special (or even as healthy) as we intended. So how do we achieve this ideal state without becoming worn-out, frazzled and obsessive? None of us wants to become a sort of Lady Macbeth of the household, forever fretting over damn spots and stains and mess? "Supercleaning" is designed to show you how knowledge is power, and the more you know about how to keep a home clean the easier it will be to achieve." - Karen Robinson.
