Simplify your household (Simpler Life Series)

A handbook of easy-to-follow techniques for efficiently organizing, cleaning, and maintaining your home unravels the secrets to achieving a well-run, trouble-free environment at home.

Just about everyone wants, on some level, to simplify his or her own life, but in the rush of the late 20th century, the desire is often supplanted by the fact that people are moving too fast and are so involved in the details of forward motion that they can't get themselves organized enough to think about simplifying anything!

Aronson offers a straightforward, uncomplicated plan for simplifying many of the daily details of running a home, including space-saving storage techniques; labor-saving tips on shopping, decorating, and regular maintenance; remedies for common stains and proven cleaning strategies, room by room; and clear checklists and resource lists. Easy-to-follow charts and seasonal checklists make this a simple book to use, and the hundreds of useful and practical tips on safety, maintenance, cleaning, basic repairs, and preventive measures make this a handy book for anyone wanting to make life a little less hectic and a little more comfortable while spending less time doing it. --Mark A.
