by Grace Burke (Author) Do you dream of a clean, functional home, but don't have the time? Studies have shown that a clean house reduces stress levels and improves relationships within the family.

Before now, you may have felt the only hope your home had for a clean start required gathering your closest friends to help you scrub from top to bottom. It was certainly how I felt when faced with a 3,000 square foot home with several cats, my own full-time job and a studio-size vacation rental to manage.
