I like the cleaning manual.
In fact, when I should wash the base plate, I am often found curled up on the sofa to read a book.
These handy guides provide practical tips for specific questions.
But they also tell us more about everyday life than many history books.
Back in the past, we had an awesome lady.

This authoritative manual feels like being ordered to return to housekeeping after an overheated 1980 and 90 s, when everyone worked only 75 hours a week and was asked to be highend takeout.
It seems that every generation needs to clean up maven by itself.
Currently competing for the position is Julie Kerr, author of "My boyfriend vomited in my handbag. . .
You can't ask Martha about anything else.
You can see from this concern
Kerr basically wrote a cleaning manual for millennials.
If there is a cleaning problem with the girls' characters, they may check with her. The New York-based Kerr —
Who started the "Ask a clean person" column on the site, writing for Jezebel and Deadspin
Her name has been asked to answer questions about how to remove semen stains from bridesmaid dresses and remove bong water from the carpet.
Of course, Kerr also dealt with more mediocre issues such as dirty kitchen and messy bathroom.
She is clearly a smart and loyal clean person with a good view of the basics.
She insists that you can carefully do the big dry cleaning with your hands
Wash silk, wool and cashmere.
She likes white vinegar. who doesn't? —
But no matter what the product is, she is not a theorist.
She's an avid.
Swiffer, for example, but she likes some scrub foam.
Kerr knows about cleaning, but she also knows about marketing cleaning.
She realizes that her book needs to provide something you can't get from the defending queen Martha Stewart, who was clean by bumer.
First of all, there are two enlightening

Then, her whole contradictory approach.
Like her generation, Kerr seems contradictory to adulthood.
Most of Kerr's prose has a dark stream of "Oh God, I can't believe I'm a real adult" that links it to those margar towers --
Mommy's memoir and alterna-dad blogs.
Kerr is capable, but it's also easy for her to sound like she stumbled upon her ability.
It seems that she often tries to "have an apartment and have to clean it" for fun. (
There is a revelation: Although Kerr's book can be stylishly fashionable, it also writes a full chapter for the wedding --

As a new generation, Cole may be a little passive.
Martha Stewart is aggressive and appears in the book like a distant, cold godmother.
Kerr wrote: "I love that woman, God bless, but she sometimes becomes very dull.
Then she went to Martha"
Part of the humiliation lawsuit.
"Where Martha relied on harsh, objective preaching, Kerr chose the bright, relaxed cheerleaders.
The style of Kerr is very inflated and very lively, including a large number of brackets and exclamation marks, as well as abuse of all the hats, which are almost drunk. ("Wheee! SUCH FUN! ! ! ! !

In terms of cleanliness, however, the evidence is in the outcome.
Writer Miya Tokamitsu believes in a recent article that all the "do what you like, what we see in the young creative class sounds powerful, but in fact, it tends to belittle unlovely Labor.

For example, Kerr told us to put down our hands and knees to clean the floor, but she had to fantasize about it by calling it "hands and knees.
"This is not the floor --Better cleaning.
In fact, this makes the situation worse.
Martha's moment may be over, and it is impossible for him to have ideal fantasies about the perfection of the bourgeoisie.
