Thanksgiving is a time not only to reflect on all that is good but ALSO to tackle cleaning chores requiring extra consideration–say “leaf stains” on the concrete patio for instance.
Prior to our final fall clean-up, wet leaves had stood long enough on our concrete-clad patio to produce a series of leaf imprints. Clean+istry believes that [...]
Our comment box has been under attack recently by agents of spam. In the process of cleaning the system of these viral bullies, we inadvertently eliminated some very legitimate comments. If you do not see yours reflected (and you are not a purveyor of all things filthy or pharmaceutical), we apologize and urge you to [...]
November is upon us and we almost forgot to review indoor fall clean-up chores. As we have repeatedly stated on this blog, given the quality of home construction Fall/Spring cleaning requirements are largely bi-annual reminders to attend to deeper cleaning details.

Believe us when we tell you that this is not a ploy to bail [...]
RoadRunner is moving at stagecoach speeds, preventing Clean+istry from posting this morning. We hope to be up and running tomorrow. In the meantime, think clean thoughts.
The Redecker Radiator Brush is far more than a radiator brush.

For some time now, Clean+istry has wondered why its readers have been so vocally absent, leaving few, if any, comments about our posts.
