Stinking Cleaning is a small book about housekeeping and how to keep clean the important areas of a home. It follows a young couple, Steven and Clarissa, as they start life together in a one bedroom rental flat and what they learn about cleaning and saving money. Their intention is to purchase their own property to move into as a married couple.
The book is set out similarly to a diary-come-recipe book, where either Clarissa or Steven talk about what they have learned from friends and relatives and write it down. They also list the requirements and process of each procedure as they go about cleaning and keeping house.
Subjects covered are the usual cleaning areas: the kitchen and bathroom. But the book also touches on other matters, such as providing recipes for natural cleansers as well as the best process for washing and ironing. It even explains how to keep Hi-Fi equipment clean.
All through the book are helpful hints on ways to save time and money, and explanations of old systems and strategies for running a home.
Stinking Cleaning is the perfect reference book for the younger generations who have not been taught to clean or keep house properly, as it explains the when, where and why of cleaning and house work.
