Description

You've spent good money trying to get organized, and a few months later the house looks exactly the way it did before. It isn't you. It's fifteen products that were never built to survive being used, and I know because I had to buy them by the caseload. MY BOOK: The Spotless Method, the whole system written down in the order I'd actually do it. spotlessmethod.com I spent forty years in hotel housekeeping, and part of that job was signing the purchase order. When a hotel buys something, it buys it for every floor in the building at once, and it gets used dozens of times a week by women who don't own it. Anything flimsy showed itself inside a month. These are the fifteen that never would have made it past my supply closet, and the fifteen I watched fail slowly in my own house and my sister's. Nothing here asks you to throw anything out. Use what you own until it dies. Just don't buy it again. Which of the fifteen do you own, and did it help or not? Tell me honestly in the comments. I read every one. New videos every week on keeping a lovely home after 60, gently, and in the right order.
