Why cleaning has meaning : bringing wellbeing into your home / by Thomas, Linda(Professional cleaner)(CARDINAL)407775;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-232)."Few of us enjoy cleaning: more often than not, it feels like a thankless, repetitive task that we must force ourselves to do. Linda Thomas is an expert, professional cleaner who operated her own ecological cleaning company for more than twenty years. In this unique book, she explores her passion for cleaning, and argues that cleaning can have a profound effect--not just on the spaces we care for, but also on our own wellbeing and personal development. This lively and readable book is full of anecdotes, practical examples, and ecological cleaning tips from the author's decades of cleaning experience. Ultimately, she states that, if we elevate our understanding of cleaning, we might even begin to enjoy it!" -- Publisher description.
